The Va. Lottery guy on the floor MC'ing the contests would make a great PA guy for us. Wonder if he's local??
While I'm at it, I would love to see the BB Room's hours adjusted by 15 minutes permanently. Just open 15 minutes earlier and close shop in time for people to get to their seats by tip off.. After all, the GAME is the attraction and closing down a little earlier sends the message the school really places a high value on it's product.

I agree on all points

BN, I agree too. +1000

I don't normally go to the BBR but I did yesterday. I don't know what effect closing early had on people already in the room because there were still plenty left when I left at 7:45. In fact one table had at least half a dozen full beers still lined up. I have no idea if they were allowed to finish them. But as I was leaving one guy tried to get in and they turned him away. He was pretty upset that he wasn't going to get his fix. He argued a little but eventually left. So it did work in sending the late comers to their seats in time.

Eh, I think it mostly worked. There were certainly more people in their seats than usual.

Announced attendance was 8,372 which probably helped also.

I meant more as a percentage of the whole

It was hilarious! Stith's reaction on Twitter pricless too!

Bleacher Report posted the story and the video clip. lol

This is my first time seeing this because I couldnt watch the game, but THAT is some funny s! Thank god it wasn't during a tight game or a crucial possession lol

Found it interesting that after watching the clip a few times, JJ didn't seem to find the humor in this that we all did- in fact it looks like he took the opportunity to get after Shaw for forcing the shot.

Course without the audio, he could have been saying about anything.

He joked about it in the post-game sitdown with the ASN guys. Basically said it was a nice pass by Brandan - all things considered. lol
