From his bio:

Williams' teams have suffered just two losing conference records – his first season at Virginia Tech in 2014-15 and his second squad at Texas A&M

So, even at a high salary, he usually gets a pass one year.

Somehow I missed that he jumped jobs again.

Higher expectations at UMD than either aTm or VT.

Good luck with all that, Buzz.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

I missed this too, did he wear out his welcome at A&M?

No, Buzz has a strategy to not stay more than 6 years and reset his clock.

Clock or bank account?

Pitt the Big 10 slayer has a win over OSU and 40 point win over Penn State which will help us in NET come tourney time. Need to root for Penn State and OSU to do well in the Big 10 and Pitt to stay at the bottom of our league

Love it.

I generally want the teams VT has beaten to do well. We need those quality wins.

I only root against ACC teams when VT is playing them. That may change later in the season.

There are enough games that we can root for VT to start the Neverending spiraling down fall of UVA every year

Do you think we enter the rankings this week?

I think we will be RV if we win tomorrow against Wake. Doubt we jump all the way to rankings otherwise. Got to continue to win.

That VCU loss weighs heavy. We probably get a pass for the St. Mary's game, but it will take a lot of W's to overcome that L.

VCU is 10-4. They are 57th in NET rankings. One spot behind us at 56th. Not that bad a loss if they keep winning in A-10.

Pomeroy has them as 44th to our 62nd so its not a bad loss

ACC officiating at its finest here.

First waved off the basket for foul on the floor (there were two obvious fouls) but then reverse it to be a foul on the shot (which it doesn't appear to be) so Cal beats Notre Dame 72-71 on the four point play and Notre Dame coach Shrewsberry facing a probable suspension and fine for confronting the officials after the game. The fact the Cal coach wasnt T-ed up for being five feet on the floor is also ridiculous.

Also the continuation rule can't apply here as its specifically for fouls driving to the basket.

Not sure if this is UVA making us look good or NC State is just bad defensively but Sam Lewis put up 20 points in first half and UVA up 40-20 at halftime.

And we are on a 10-0 run vs Wake. LFG!
Took the lead for the 1st time. 8 minutes left.

SCHokie

What's up with Wake having front courtside seats directly behind both coaches boxes? Don't think I have seen that anywhere else
