It better be stacked and packed and rowdy. Buzz and the team have more than earned it. Hope we start fast and Cassell is loud all night

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. most students live off campus and have to drive to get to Cassell.
if students are anything, they're lazy
If anything that says it right there. Students don't have to drive. There are plenty of busses that go right by Cassell and they run til 1245am during the week and 245am on Fridays/Saturdays.

He's on his way out soon for health reasons, but UNC fans expect Hubert Davis to take over. Whether or not that happens, there is no way Roy coaches another 10 years, can maybe go 5 at the most.
It's not that loving pie is wrong, it's just that there is a deeper, multi-layered love that is readily available at any purveyor of the confectionary arts.
Ooooh let's bring politics into a fun thread!
False
Helmets can be adapted to feature hokie stone. Adaptation is not intrinsically a good thing.
(also for example the fish pie in the previous post)

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. it doesn't appear there are tons of schools that could offer him more at the current moment without a tremendous buyout
Like ltrepeter2000 said, Buzz's Contract is pretty relaxed on his end of the buyout. I believe on March 24th, Buzz will enter the 3rd year of his contract so a $1.5M buyout (and quickly declining) isn't much for a school that's serious about snatching up Buzz. That being said, I think and hope that Buzz hangs around Blacksburg for a good while.
$7 million in first year
$3.5 million in second year
$1.5 million in third year
$900k in fourth year
$500k in fifth year
$250k any year after

That makes team cake the 1%.
And that same 9% run 98% of the world!!
The other 90 percent were too busy eating pie to answer a stupid survey.
But mostly with pie, just sayin'.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. NOVA fans can rarely see the team so it was special for them. VT BBall has to market better to Roanoke/Salem, its biggest local market. If you can get those people to care, it's not too far for them to show up. As for students, there are a lot of other options these days, but I don't doubt that next year student tickets will be hard to come by. They were this year too for some games. Creating a student fan base is important, and no stand-by line to allow students in where they could experience a game and make a connection with the team hurt that ability. Other factors include the fact that most students live off campus and have to drive to get to Cassell. With difficult parking and Blacksburg weather it usually wasn't worth it to see a crappy team. That will change, but it is not the easiest thing in the world, and if students are anything, they're lazy (like me). However, the real key remains filling out the non-student sections.
In terms of NOVA fans, many love their Hokies but don't have many chances to see them, and a trip to Tech isn't easy. I think that we should play every year in the DC area. A home-and-home with Georgetown and a home-and-home with George Mason (alternating years, so that each year VT plays one of those teams away and one of them at home) would mean that each year the team would play in NOVA/DC. Both the Verizon Center and the Patriot Center don't fill up very often allowing for VT fans to flood the place. It would be an away game but look like a home game. Those NOVA/DC fans would build a connection with the team and then maybe some would be influenced to go see a game in Cassell. Just an idea I had that I think has a lot of benefits.
Ok. Pie-I mean, er, BYE.
Congratulations on the new job, Joe! Best of luck to you.
Thank you and the staff for all that you do for TKP!
