Oh no, they're not getting that one. Once he leaves Penn Hills, that counts for West Virginia. Tell Neil he can't have that one [this week].

It's definitely not good for us. All we can do is go out and get a win against West Virginia and hope for a break. It's even bigger now. If we don't win that game, I don't know what's going to happen. We win that game, we give ourselves a chance.

In the false American imagination, West Virginia is a joke or else it's a charity case; but more than anything it is unseen, an invisible architecture of labor and struggle; and incarceration shares this invisibility, hidden at the center of everything; our slipshod remedy for an abiding fear, danger pinned to human bodies and then slotted into bunk beds you can't see from any highway.

Deep down, I'm just a West Virginia hillbilly.

There's no one in the West even close to the Spurs. They're so much better than anybody else.

People in West Virginia do have cars. We have indoor plumbing. We even use knives and forks.
