Don't care for most rap, probably has something to do with my age. But I know how the mute button works

I'm a HUGE hip hop fan and I agree w the OP, some of these vids play absolutely horrible music (unbearable).
But that's this generation's preference, and I no longer question it. Just like the skinny jeans, and the tendency to act more feminine than they did when I was coming up, it just is.

Not my cup of tea but I'm sure my parents weren't into Wu Tang Clan, Boot Camp Click, Redman, Snoop, etc, the same way that I was.

You haven't noticed how "strange" this generation of teens acts? Wasn't like that when I was a kid.

Oh, I've noticed. I taught high school for ten years up until about 4 years ago. They willingly played by my old fart rules, so it was all good.

The music sucks, but even worse. They post them with foul language in them.

That's pretty cool man. There is nothing better than hearing some country roads on a Saturday afternoon during football season. But there is no comparison between johnny cash, Merel haggard, Hank jr and John. I admit to having Country roads and Thank god I'm a country boy on my play list.

Well, Mountaineer fan, I was hoping someone would ask how I got to sing with him, but no one bit. Here's the low down...my wife and I went to one of his concerts (late 70's, IIRC), and he asked the audience to sing along on one of his songs, so I did. So, I was technically telling the truth when I say I once sang with John Denver. You have good taste in music, BTW! :)

Something tells me that being at one of WVU's games is akin to a "Rocky Mountain High". That clip made it look like being there was a blast!

one of the toughest places to play a big game. I remember one year in the early 90's the Miami hurricanes came in and the winner went to the orange bowl. Well it was about 20 degrees and people had smuggled in oranges. WVU tanked in the 4th and was losing people started throwing what was then frozen oranges on the field. it was crazy to say the least. back in the 80's Pitt players would get pelted with AA batteries but that was way before my time.
I'll just say Karl Joseph is awesome to keep this football related and I will buy his jersey if we draft him the same day.

I have seen articles having Joseph being taken in each of the first four rounds (very wide ranges). Do you have a take on whether he will be able to play in 2016? Seems that most I've read on him has this being a red shirt year for him, thus his drop in the draft by many. Having said all that, it would be my dream for him to be available at our third pick, though I doubt he lasts that long...second round, yes...third round, no.

I haven't heard anything more than most here. If I had to guess though he will play but teams probably will take the safe move and make him inactive till week 6.
