Let’s take a trip down memory lane this week. Let’s go back to Guy #1’s entry into hip hop. He was a wide-eyed middle schooler who just became friends with Guy #3 and G3 had a sick iTunes account. I look back on my middle & high school days with great admiration for the songs of this period. I often sound like an old man telling everyone under the age of 24 that ’07-’13 was as good as it gets for the genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still believe this btw… I just try to refrain from convincing strangers of this. Here’s some of the favorites and some that are just too perfect for the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FDC: Army v. UTSA U44 – Love lockdown by Kanye\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay. I’ve already lost this bet. Kinda sad to think about . Maybe I shouldn’t have picked such a sad song. 808 was just too good to leave off the list. Seemed like a good idea at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indiana +10 – Bedrock by Young Money<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You cannot tell the story of G1’s high school hip hop stage without Young Money. This was the daddy of the rap ensembles. What a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n FDC: Kansas St. -3.5 – I Don’t Like by Chief Keef & Lil Reese<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fake Polo… that’s that shit I don’t like. This teams do not like each other and that’s no secret. Let the best team win. By 4 please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ohio +3 – Every Girl in the World by Young Money<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When this song came on the shuffle, I though though on one thing and one thing only… Iowa State. It was perfect! I just though of all their starters singing this song. Only it went a little like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Cause we like spreads, and we like props too FDC: Notre Dame -34.5 – Can\u2019t Tell Me Mothing by Kanye\u00a0West<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Betting Notre Dame has pretty much been, place bet -> get paid. You could almost say “wait til I get my money right”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia -27.5 – Headlines by Drake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia has been reading the headlines and they are ready to kill some poultry. Sure… Kirby made up said headlines. It really doesn’t matter. The cocks can’t hang with the dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n FDC: North Carolina -7.5 – Bottoms Up by Trey Songz\u00a0ft. Nicki Minaj<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I actually forgot I had to pick this game so I don’t have strong feels. In the absence of feels, I substituted one of my favorite songs from the era. What a verse from Nicki. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alabama 1H -21 – Good Life by Kanye West & T-Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Go ‘head, switch the style up, And if they hate then let ’em hate, And watch the money pile up” <\/p>\n\n\n\n ^my response to the haters^<\/p>\n\n\n\n WKU v. Ohio St. 1h O34 – 6 foot 7 foot by Lil Wayne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n OSU will sleepwalk to 28, call that shit Patricia . I’ll let Western Kentucky gift me the other TD I need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cincinnati -14 – A Milli by Lil Wayne\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cincy’s by a milli. It’s pretty simple. I’m down on Miami-Ohio and up on Cincinnati. Cincy covers at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FDC: Florida +6.5 – Over by Drake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This was a special one for G1. This was the song that ushered me out of my first high school and into my next one. It’s pretty much my go to for major life changes. “Y’all know them? Well, f*ck it, me either. Point the biggest skeptic out, I’ll make him a believer” I’m not actually that confident but you have to fake it til you make it. *life lesions with G1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n What does all that ^ have to do with Florida G1?<\/em> Nothing, you know I was just squeezing that song in. Don’t ruin the moment with questions you know the answer to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh yeah btw, since this is a 2 unit play… I guess I need a 2 unit song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2u – Good For You by Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While we’re on a roll, lets take a look at the song for our 3+ unit losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3u+ – Pretender by AJR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s have a weekend Shedheads!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s take a trip down memory lane this week.
