Wow Garth Brooks can still sell out a 90K stadium? That's pretty impressive.
First time I saw him was at a free show he did outside the Cotton Bowl at Fair Park in Dallas immediately following the TX-OU game in 1990, and I saw him twice in Austin over the next few years. He always put on a great show. Loved to play Billy Joel covers back when, probably still does.
Frost will be one of those attending the Garth Brooks concert at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. There was a lot of activity putting the final preparation touches for the event in and around the stadium Friday.
"I'm just excited to see the stadium full again," the coach said. "I've never been in my box before. My wife's been in it. I've never been in it. So that's where I'm going to sit."
Favorite Garth song? "I grew up with that stuff. Callin' Baton Rouge. Thunder Rolls is everybody's favorite. Cowboy's Lament, I really liked. That's a good question, by the way. I'll think of another one before we're done."
He did, too. At the very end of his meeting with the media, he added another song to the list: "I'd say 'Every Time That It Rains' is probably my favorite overall."
Frost doesn't know if Garth will talk to the team at all. "When we have concerts in town, sometimes guys come over. Zac Brown has been in my office, playing my little $80 guitar. We'll see if Garth shows up. We met Garth, I think my senior year he came, and talked to the team at practice one day. He's one of the best. Can't wait to see him."
