As far as getting his music to 2000s generation and younger, I don't think it even occurred to Prince. He did all sorts of things that would be considered bizarre from a business standpoint. One of his last albums was basically a contemporary Christian album.
Which one?

I have noticed several on here referring to UK's late game collapses as "folding like a lawn chair". Well for this group of **** stained losers, I think something with a little more flair, or more direct to get the point across is needed. So from this day forward I think "folded like a cheap tent" illustrates the point clearer.

Calling my shot, The boys have kicked on the door, kicked on the door. Well tonight, I say we "kick the son of a ***** in" with my best Bum Phillips playoff analogy from back in the day with the Houston Oilers.

Boars 71

No I am not drinking all ready. Finish them. And IF you bet AGAINST the Cayts on the under 4:00, you will LOSE. Not tonight, not gonna happen.

Still fun to watch. Team had its issues, but was still stacked with tons of ballers + Dawg

Hawkins
Bogans
Prince
Fitch
Daniels
Hayes
Estill

They’d whip any Cal team since 2015.

Did you actually watch them play or were you making mixed tapes with AP.com and 18 in Yo Neck the entire time? They were maddening to watch despite their paper tiger roster.

This game is fun to watch, right now - and I stand by the rest.

The roster is misleading a bit Bc Fitch, Estill, and especially Daniels hadn’t come into their own yet as big time players.

Then they all came back, and were, and we were the best team in the country. Crazy how that works.

I assumed "What if?" Which was one of his last singles and is a cover of a Contemporary Christian song by Nichole Nordeman he did near the end of his life had an accompanying album, which after checking it did not. So, that's an error on my part. He was heavily influenced later in life by his religion as a Jehovah's Witness though and he did play some Christian covers in concert, changed the title of "The Cross" from Sign O' the Times to "The Christ," and stopped swearing. He was a weird dude (not that being religious is specifically weird) with strong convictions, and I don't think he made decision's based strictly on business the way many do.

Another side effect of the one-and-done and early-departure era of college basketball....while we have programs/coaches who we hate and/or consider rivals, we don't really have opposing PLAYERS that generate any heat.

Back in the day you had Walsh, Noah, Slay, Tony Harris, and the usual suspects from UL/Duke/UNC. But what opposing players do we have any specific antipathy towards? Fulkerson, and......?

Maybe we're just in a time when the personalities on our rival teams are vanilla. I'm sure Big Ten fans hate them some Luka Garza right about now. But I also think that if players are good enough to generate heat, they're usually gone in a year anyway.

Can someone explain to me what a historical horse racing machine is because it feels like something I could just walk in with a sports almanac and KILL IT

My hate for him was never higher than in the sweet 16 game where he cleared out James Young with a swim move to give himself an open 3 that the refs evidently considered a legal basketball move.

I've played a couple of times and it takes mental gymnastics to differentiate those machines from traditional slots.

I think Clarke's ankle is on the same path as Hawkins' asthma... tough issue for about one year and then all is well.
