    - It's like a visit to 1996. -- nm - Mop Mar 23, 22:01
    - So did I. I think it is kind of cool that if you own business, you can do what you want with company gear - JD Mar 23, 20:52 1
      - Yeah. Mostly I looked at the photos and wished it was *my* side business. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 23, 21:34

I tried the Oculus VR live preview (all 3-5 minutes) of the Zona-Zavier game and it is truly awesome. I'd spend the $3 if - zunk xometimes Mar 23, 20:05 1

    - It's all going according to plan -- (link) - ty97 Mar 23, 19:24
  - So if trump tries to scapegoat Ryan, will Ryan have the spine to whip the GOP up against him? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 23, 19:18 6
    - Imagine if Ryan loses the role of speaker or steps down. What a clusterfuck. -- nm - Mop Mar 23, 19:46

Yet another game where a team has zero clue what play to run or how to get a shot so a guy just dribbles around. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:12 9
- You're right, but let's also give Gonzaga credit for insanely good defense for 35 full seconds. - David Mar 23, 19:17 5
  - Valid. Interesting take on Twitter. Hero ball at the end is all Steph Curry's fault. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:21 3
    - Uh....what? In college Pistol Pete, NBA Jordan are the ones who immediately come to mind - JD Mar 23, 19:27 1
      - Not to these kids playing now. Oh, do you mean as late game gunners. Yeah I didn't say it was my theory. -- nm* - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:29
    - I think there's something to that (and it didn't start with NBA Curry), but I also think it underscored that WVU is a defense-first team. -- nm - David Mar 23, 19:22
  - It seems fitting that game was decided on one last stop -- nm - JD Mar 23, 19:20
- Though that was after let's take ill advised difficult 3 attempts -- nm - JD Mar 23, 19:13 1
  - Right. But even then they had a chance to reset it and didn't bother. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:15
- I was screaming at the TV. That was a total team panic, and one guy wanting the highlight reel. -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 19:13
That guy wanted to badly to be the hero. Awful, awful possession. -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 19:12 1
- The airball was sooo close though! -- nm - Bacon!!! Mar 23, 19:12
West Virginia what a huge fail there. WTH?? Go Zags though! -- nm - Bacon!!! Mar 23, 19:11
