Fleece, if you’re still around I hope you’re listening to Astroworld. Album of the century, bangers on bangers. All I’ve listened to for the last 2 weeks.

I got in an argument yesterday that KOD was better than Astroworld with someone, but you'd probably agree with the other dude. I'm just not a huge Travis Scott fan and I still think that KOD is the best album of 2018.

What do you think about Kids See Ghost? I love Kudi and pretty much anything that Kanye produces.

I like KSG okay but I feel like most of the songs are little bit too artistic to be played on repeat in the car. Same with Kanye’s new album, most of the songs are too deep for the radio. I’ll listen to it once or twice all the way through and then kind of move on. KSG is probably the better album of the two but I’ve gotten a lot more mileage out of Astroworld because it’s very mindless and it’s fun to listen to.

I used to LOVE Cudi back in 2008-2010 but his sound changed and I kind of moved on. Now that I’m 28 and I hear some of the SoundCloud rappers that the kids are listening to these days I think it’s crazy that we grew up with artists like Cudi and Kanye and these kids are listening to garbage produced in a basement and recorded in with the garage band app on a MacBook.

Man on the moon holds up 10 years later. Graduation holds up 10 years later. 808’s and Heartbreaks holds up 10 years later. 2007-2011 was a really great time for music.

Stoked, my bad dude. It was an adderall day. Didn’t realize how much I had typed until I posted the reply. Didn’t mean to write an essay.

Hey ya'll. Preseason update on LMU: the Splitters got to start practice early due to a trip to Canada to play 4 games there on an excursion out of the country. They leave Thurs. first game is Sat. Should be an early guage in them. Very very young this year. I'm concerned about defense and getting to know each other on the court. May be a bit of an off year for us. I'll post an update on roster, schedule etc. When I'm not on my phone later.

I think this will be very beneficial if they are a young team. The extra practice and playing early in games that do not matter will help develop team chemistry. I really think it helped UT a lot last year.

Ed, I bet you were excited to hear that Emmanuel Terry signed a deal with the Nuggets for training camp.

Best of luck to LMU this coming season, be sure to keep us posted along the way again this year.

Yeah, no doubt the Canadian trip was scheduled for that reason.. CJS doesn't miss a trick.
Very excited for E-Man. He worked his ass off while in school to bulk up and develop his game. His progress in his junior and senior seasons was remarkable despite an injury in his junior season. He has made all of us proud.

I'm not posting the FF due to the overwhelming need to cuss.

At least I got some good news.

Railsplitters rout Windsor 96-55 to open Canadian tour behind Dahling's 32 points

I'll summarize the FF for you right now:

Some that said we'd kill WV and were offended most picked against us are now acting like no one should be surprised we got beat. Some are saying Pruitt sucks and UT will be looking for a new coach in a few year. Some are saying he's obviously a better HC than the last few based on.....you got me.

Somewhere in all that are about 5 rational posters that don't go to either extreme.

Pretty much. I was talking to a co-worker who is a UK fan and telling him how weird it was that I was more excited for basketball season than football season and he said "welcome to our world."

I do think Pruitt is headed in the right direction. already added two blue chips to the oline in 2019. If he keeps that up we'll be okay in a couple more seasons. going to take some lumps this season though.

Yeah I think maybe we're a little worse than I expected. Tired of our line play being below SEC standards. Some young men need to grow up.
Did I miss something?
What happened to Carlin Fils-Aime.
Also wheres that Kongbo explosion we've been waiting for?

Agree about our line play. Carlin Fils-Aime got moved to Corner in the spring, he’s listed at 2nd string. Kongbo is such a bust.
