I can't be there. But could someone come up to Coach Morris during the "milling around and meeting the fans" portion of the evening and ask him if he knows where we got our unique nickname?  I did that to our previous coach and he proudly proclaimed "Joe Greene". 

I had to have a little more conversation with him than I thought I would have had otherwise.

I thought it has been established that the nickname came independent of Joe Greene?

No my understanding was the Mean Green was named after Mean Joe Greene.

Eric got up on stage carrying a Coors Light. 
 

I’ve met him twice now, and both times he had a drink in his hand. I love it! 

They have got to get him in front of students, "lost alumni", local community, etc.  I'm sure they're doing that.  He gets you fired up.  So much better than coach mumbles.
