It's the weekend we play Ole Miss..........April 14th thru 16th.........
Ole Miss gets one of the top 5 acts in all of music for their big weekend.
We get…..Brett Eldredge.
Good god we have to work on university branding. Ole Miss is viewed as a national program and 85% of the country could not tell you who our HC is.
What is really bad about this is that HARDY, an outspoken ardent supportive of State, has been asked to play on campus exactly ZERO times. He played Bulldog Bash on a damn away weekend so I am not counting it. The guy would do it for free and we will not even make the call. The Bulldog Initiative would be printing money with a HARDY concert instead of Brett Eldredge.
Personally I prefer Eldredge to Hardy. Eldredge is a huge baseball fan as well. Hardy sounds pretty bad live. The only reason Ole Miss got him is he just so happens to be the opening act for Wallen's tour. I seem to remember when Hardy was announced as the BB headliner a lot of folks on here lost their minds about that too. Someone is going to always have something to bitch about.
And HARDY may have said that he needed to stay with Morgan on tour that weekend. It just pisses me off that Ole Miss is able to get TWO NIGHTS of Morgan Wallen, who is the hottest act in country and maybe all of music at the moment, and we are stuck trying to get excited about a guy who I doubt could sell out Newell Grissom.Quote:

Hardy goes where Craig Wiseman tells him to go. Big Loud records. They own Morgan and Hardy. Hardy writes Morgan's songs.Quote:

I do agree with you 100% that we should use HARDY as often as possible. Pretty much everyone that knows Wallen knows HARDY because they are really good friends. He'd be our ambassador like Wallen is for UT.Quote:

Parker McCollum or Mitchell Tenpenny. Hell Riley Green would have had females from 6 states away lined up on Monday.Quote:

A name like Riley Green would have gotten people to campus that would not step foot on campus under normal circumstances and hell maybe they realize what we all do that Starkville is a special place and The Dude on a SEC Weekend is something only two or three other stadiums in the country can replicate, pro or college.
You're right about that. He is really good. So is Tenpenny. Eldredge is ok, but not in the same class as those others you mentioned.Quote:

As far as college girls go, he's a much hotter name than Brett. I personally would rather listen to Eldredge sing a Shoney's menu than listen to anything Riley Green has ever put out. Just my personal preference. Edited to add, Ole Miss had him in the Grove last year.Quote:

My guess is that they will sell tickets to the concert separate the game. Just my guess though. I think the game is 2:30 so I would think the concert would start at 7 or 8. Be interesting to see how they construct the stage.Quote:
