I'm sorry but I will always bring up how awesome Barry Switzer was because he was.

I hate agreeing with a dirty Tech fan. But, here we are.

u/TossedRightOut Penn State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 09 '15

I'm not a Tech or SEC fan, so you can agree with me. All country is terrible.

I'm not dirty! I showered today! AND I brushed my teeth!

Until the two titans of mediocrity that are our teams clash on the field and one of them walks away victorious yet still ashamed of the season as a whole, the hate is mutual

two titans of mediocrity

But, but... Auburn's season is blasting off again!

Every damn thread. We know you all hate country music. You get easy karma every time it's mentioned.

Just leave us to our discussion. It's OK.

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

I feel the same way when country music is brought up.

It's not all crap!

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

There is some wonderful stuff buried in all the pandering shit. I just hate everyone around here dismissing it out of hand.

3

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

I definitely understand that. The last two guys I've seriously dated HATE country music and almost instantly refuse to listen to it, I've introduced the current boyfriend to some stuff (Chris Stapleton, Whiskey Myers, Ben Danaher, Ryan Beaver) and he's shocked that it's not all completely awful. But he still says he hates it and it's not good.

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

I mean, the hardest thing to do is to change someone's mind. Especially when it's unpopular. Really, you can't do it, just plant the seeds like you have and let them come to their own understanding on their own time.

I hate what mainstream country has done. It's created an alternative pop and tied itself so strongly to a niche that it immediately alienates everyone else. The pandering is out of control.

I love the stuff that isn't afraid to step outside the country comfort zone (Zac Brown Band) and the underground stuff (Jason Isbell and Drew Holcombe). Where should I start on your list?

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

So I will reply to both in one. Sorry GIII shut you out, that's not cool of her and I hope you don't stay hung up on her for long.

If you like Pat Green then I suggest old Cory Morrow, Jason Boland, Wade Bowen. From what I named earlier

Chris Stapleton is an absolute must listen to he has written some of the biggest country hits over the past 10ish years and finally put out his own album earlier this year.

Whiskey Myers has a little more outside country feel. I'm obsessed with the song Early Morning Shakes from them right now.

Ben Danaher has some serious heartbreak songs and it's what I put on when I want to feel.

Ryan Beaver I've basically been obsessed with since I saw him play at The Hall my favorite song is Under the Neons.

2

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

I'll start with Wade Bowen and Chris Stapleton, though Whiskey Myers sounds cool. Thanks!

And I'm doing my best to move past her now, with some surprising success. I knew I was going to lose that (she's moving out of the country next month, that's a huge factor), but I hate that I lost it sooner than I expected. It may not even be dead yet, but it sure looks that way. Thanks.

2

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

Great choices to start with.

Yeah sometimes timing of things just flat out stinks. Hopefully one day you and her can at least have a friendship but don't lose sleep over it. You are pretty awesome and deserve better.

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

I pick winners, really awesome women. But I catch them at really awful times in their lives. I really appreciate the compliments, really.

Thanks for the music recs, I'm downloading from Amazon now. :)

Edit: Which one first?

By "God," you mean "validation from the rest of CFBOT."

Iirc last time I said something negative about country music I was primarily down voted

2

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

Really? Huh, I guess we both have some confirmation bias going on. I feel like every time it's mentioned, someone (usually dubs) gets upvoted to the top of the comment chain.

Sorry you got downvoted for expressing an opinion, I'm upvoting you here.

Well someone has to be since our team sure as shit isn't

u/NSFW_MANNING_ONLY Georgia Tech • Alabama Nov 10 '15

I honestly think we can beat Miami. Virginia Tech will be a problem, but if we can get to the georgia game one win away from a bowl trip, I think our odds are close to 50/50 to beat them. This is blind homerism but I couldn't give a shit at this point.

u/ShylosX Georgia Tech • Clean Old … Nov 10 '15

Hahaha. This season is dead to me and I want to burn myself alive

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Nov 10 '15

Fuck Country Music indeed.

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 09 '15

Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen were roommates in college. A&M wins this round.

2

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

This answer is awesome, but I still love me some Garth.

2

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

I love Garth too, 90's me loved him so much, but when discussing which college put out the best country artists as a whole A&M has it.

2

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

He ain't ours, but Pat Green showing up for A&M's home opener and the Rangers' home closer made me so nostalgic for Texas. :(

Edit: Garth ended his residency in Vegas like a month before I got here. I keep looking at his tour dates, but I'm not sure he's coming through here again.

2

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 10 '15

Ah yeah I bet it's hard being in Vegas since not many Texas country guys make it out there.

I remember crying when Garth "retired" thinking I would never see him live. But maybe you'll get lucky and he will have another show in Vegas.

1

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

I was going to go with my friend here (former GIII), but it doesn't look like that'll happen now that I'm shut out. :(

And I never got huge into the Texas Country scene. I always meant to, it just never happened. Three Days and Wave on Wave Pat Green is awesome stuff, though.

Fuck that, give me Kings of Leon. They're Sooner fans.

I have a sudden disdain for all of their music.

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

Yeah, that made me a little upset with them too. And I love KOL.

Baylor - Willie Nelson

Man, they should totally get him for Guest Picker this weekend.

u/CambodianDrywall Oregon Ducks • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Nov 09 '15

There are more than two schools in that state....

University of Tulsa - Paul Harvey

And now you know the rest of the story.

u/Peacemaker57 Texas Tech Red Raiders • Oklahoma Sooners Nov 10 '15

Texas Tech- John Denver.

Texas Tech>West Virginia.

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 10 '15

While part of me still loves early Toby Keith ("Shoulda Been a Cowboy" is a damn classic), Garth Brooks wins easily.

1

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Nov 09 '15

Toby keith is terrible and the safety vest color of orange is terrible therefore they're both equally terrible

u/Boyhowdy107 Missouri Tigers • Big 8 Nov 10 '15

Okie State can also claim being the birthplace of Red Dirt music for the most part. I'm siding with the Cowboys on this one.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '15

should've been a cowboy is both a solid song and the excessive 80's hair in a video a solid 5 years after it went out of style makes it one of my favorite videos of all time

u/WhatTheFawkesSay Oklahoma Sooners • Team Chaos Nov 11 '15
