For those who know me, I’m generally a mild mannered and low key guy who doesn’t get overly worked up very often. That said, I have been a lifelong UofL fan and yesterday was the culmination of a rough few years dating back to that fateful Friday in October 2015 when I first heard theContinueContinue reading “2/22/18 Extender Preblast #WhamHate Tour”
