Things to comfort me on the ride home to Denton

[Christopher Walker]

1. Collin Street Bakery cookies in Waco

2. Baylor's Mclane Stadium looks like sh*t. One of those times when the renderings were waaaaaaayyyyyyy better than the finished product. What's with those anemic columns??

3. We have a really fun show that I curated to get ready for! http://errantnewmusic.org/news/2014/7/boulez-campbell-soup-hour-round-1 If you're in Denton Thursday, you should make it out.

4. My wife is awesome.

5. Our defense is still bad ass.

Next Friday night is Hirie, Pacific Dub and Stick Figure (The kid's favorite band evuh) at Gas Monkey. Then there's the home opener Saturday morning. Then, if I'm still alive, there's a Cure cover band and a Smiths cover band at Granada Saturday night. The kid ruh-heally wants to go to that. I'm not seeing the downside of weekend life right now.

2. IHOP for breakfast in Austin.

3. Czech Stop in West.

5. Music (from my generation) on the IPOD all the way home.

This. couldn't agree more, Chris.

They way over-spent at $266 million

You could take comfort in not having to watch North Texas' offense for another week. I am.

[GreenMachine]

DW's adult video store?

[JesseMartin]

Road head?

I may be in the minority here, but even though the exterior isn't all that flashy, I actually think the new Baylor stadium looks pretty cool...

[MeanGreenHoops]

Cannot believe Baylor spent 266 million on that boring, stock horseshoe stadium. It's like they bought some stadium software and then typed in horseshoe, and picked one. There isn't one thing to make you remember what it looks like. Oh wait it's next to a dirty river.

1) I didnt waste my hard earned money attending that game.

2) I will not waste my hard earned money attending next game either.

Our school has to learn attendance will come when we put a consistent product out there. I believe we beat smut, but if I drug my family on the drive paid hotel etc etc I would feel the loss 3x more than a win.

[DeepGreen]

I've been told the brick facade surrounding the field is not real brick. Painted took look like bricks??

That's the spirit...we need more fans like you.

It's a vinyl banner. I want to believe it's temporary....if not I'm sure a donor will fork over the money to install a real one - looks like crap. Overall it's a nice stadium. I think it's a little ugly from the outside with those columns.

Hahaha exactly.

[greenminer]

For the record, I will gladly waste away $266 million.

[UNT 90 Grad]

1. Had a great time with friends I don't see often enough.

2. Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños at Silo on Seventh.

3. Waving and honking at fellow fans driving down I35 Friday.

4. Free place to stay on Lake Travis (what there is of it).

5. Light traffic on the way home Sunday.

6. Lots of fun on 6th Street before the game, and North Texas flag hanging outside the Thirsty Nickel.

7. Great Mean Green turnout in the stands.
