What If:

In light of all of the questioning of the football team and calling for (enter coach's name here)'s head, I thought I'd prepare a hypothetical scenario for you.

What if we still suck at basketball this year?

What if we don't win a single ACC game this season? What then?

How will you feel about Buzz Williams, Whit Babcock, and the athletic program as a whole then?

"Yeah well that's not going to happen RealDiehl, Buzz is a boss and we're gonna win games." Yeah, well, you would have called BS on me if I told you the football team would beat Ohio State but lose to ECU, Pitt, Miami and BC this year too.

My point is this: stand by your team this year. Don't set expectations out the roof in year one of Buzz. There's so much optimism floating around here for basketball, which is different, and I love it. But there was a similar vibe mid-September for football as well, and we see how that has come crashing down.

I'd really hate to see negativity begin to rise about basketball when we've never had many expectations whatsoever for the team, so please remember the optimism you feel now and stand by your team, the coach, and the kids on the team. Thank you.
