Since playing with better tone quality and musicanship won't be enough to win the war of the bands, I guess they're trying to excite the redneck demographic.

...in every instance I've ever witnessed: Live Amplified Music + Live Marching Band = Absolute Trainwreck.

I have never seen an exception to this rule.

I don't remember a band (rock, country, etc) performing during our half time show ever.....could be wrong though.

I saw them at Old Main a couple years back, and they have a softer bluegrass style. I would compare them to Nickel Creek. They did win the Colgate Country Showdown a few years back, which is a nationwide contest. I don't know what to think about this; they will definitely be a stark contrast to the Sonic Boom of the South.

took his irrigation class with me back in the day. The guy actually wrote the book on Toro irrigation.

And I've seen his kids play, they are pretty good.

never took his irrigation, but had him for many of his la classes.. that guy is a trip.

but about Nash street.. they are pretty good. like someone else said, it's more like a Nickel Creek sound.

That was perhaps the single most embarassing and lowest point in my life as a Bulldog fan. It made "Hee-Haw" look like the g.d. Metropolitan Opera.

During halftime, while the band played and some yokel emceed, there were live racoons running around the field being chased up fake trees by bluetick hounds, barefoot dudes in straw hats and overalls rolled up chasing said hounds with shotguns. Oh, and there was a jug band playing on the 50 yard line. And perhaps the worst part was that we weren't playing a local team like SE Louisiana or Troy where the damage could be contained. Oh no, we were playing the University of Miami Hurricanes...

Are you serious? Did this really happen? My goodness. That sounds like a bad dream. I can see how it was your most embarrassing point as a Bulldog fan. A week from tomorrow will be your second most embarrassing moment. We're going to smash their football team, but ... this Nash Street thing ... another bad dream come to life. haha

They really aren't that bad. I've seen them twice in the last few months at different music festivals. They are all from MSU which is why we're probably doing this at all. Yes, they're bluegrass, but they're very good musicians. They do a good version of "Black Water."

Over the past two decades there hasn't been very many exciting bands playing here at State. I just don't get why whoever is in charge of this can't seem to get it right. They seem to think that MSU is full of country music lovers and it has been like this for a long time. I know that Nash Street is a great band, but bluegrass and football just don't go together. And bluegrass in the middle of a 50,000 seat stadium? Is that even going to sound good? Who comes up with ideas like this?? Bluegrass? Bluegrass? Bluegrass?

Turf, but you know how all those class are intertwined with LC, LA, and turf majors. Pete was a good guy, but he was no Lester Estes.

You could have just said your mom was sitting next to you.

Edit to say I'm just kidding.
