# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Why do you need a new facility? Updated Cassell maybe. Hahn Hurst will need to be updated every decade or so. Maybe a basketball dorm/apartments. New facility only happens if we get a hockey team, and that's doubtful. Cassell is a classic college gym that has more character and is more intimidating than any modern arena.
part of the world domination, I had Groom's pies instead of groom's cake at my wedding.
He knocked out Jordan Steffy in his only series against us during VT UMD romp. Good times.
He is an awesome guy. One of the nicest players I had a chance of working with and getting to know when I was there.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Boeheim already set the clock in motion. He has two years left unless he changes his mind. This is why he didnt hesitate to make such a fuss about not punishing his Orange more and in my opinion worked the committee to get them in the tourney this year.

The other team to keep an eye on is NC State. I can imagine Gottfried will be Gottfired pretty soon if he cant get the talent he brings in to translate to winning.
Leonard Hamilton at FSU is two years older than Roy Williams so he is another one that is in that gray area to hang it up.
So as you touched on, we probably see changes at:
Syracuse
Louisville
Duke
UNC (although I could see Roy Williams coaching another 10 years)
Miami
NC State
Possibly FSU
That leaves:
Tony Bennett at UVA
Jamie Dixon at Pitt
Danny Manning at Wake (assuming he gets them to improve)
Buzz at Tech
Brian Gregory at Georgia Tech
Mike Brey at Notre Dame
Jim Christian at Boston College (if he can get the wheels on the program)
Brad Brownell at Clemson
Mike Hopkins will likely take over Syracuse barring major changes
Of those remaining, I think you have three Hall of Fame coach locks in Bennett, Dixon and Buzz. Brey is close with what he has done at ND. Not sure that Hopkins at Syracuse will have enough time to build HOF credentials. Even with all those HOF coaches retiring, still going to be a formidable coaching group in the ACC.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. If UVA can make it to the dance as 1 seed, we sure as hell can with the right team and coach.
The only areas getting roped off are an away section and an area for team members families. Also, if they want to bring their band we have to have an area for that as well which cuts out a portion where the students usually sit.
I thought you were going to bring up the other National Pie Day.
Btw: Ice cream goes with both, just sayin'.

# | Virginia Tech to Face Princeton in 2016 National Invitation Tournament Just got mine. At least one more game at Cassell this year! I thought I was saying goodbye last Saturday, I'm so glad I have one more chance to spend time with the old girl.
Pie can be adapted to anything. That does not make it superior to cake...

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. An anecdote about Fuente/OU. I was at Tunica in November when Memphis played Houston. I was spent about 4 days playing poker with people from Memphis, and was asking question about CJF. Even though VT was a rumor, nobody seemed to mind a VT guy asking questions as "the only way Fuente was going to leave the program was if Stoops went to USC and OU offered him the job".
They actually were ribbing me that I thought we had a chance at getting him. He was well liked as a person as well as a coach. Might not be as welcome wearing VT gear there now.
He does have a tendency to park in F/S spots.
Just got my tickets, who else is going?
If loving pie is wrong, I don't want to be right.
It's so tempting to downvote all of these silly, confused pie kids but as #teamcake we will always take the high road.
Fuente [...] then played two seasons in the Arena League.
I refuse to partake in this heathen celebration. I take my leave.
VT top 20 confirmed.

# | Virginia Tech to Face Princeton in 2016 National Invitation Tournament Yup, general admission works like a movie theater, except perhaps some select reserved seats for big boosters (or reserved big booster seats for select press members).

Overall,
You bring up some awesome numbers to support your point. I'm really thinking he's financially set living in Blacksburg with millions of dollars per year and it doesn't appear there are tons of schools that could offer him more at the current moment without a tremendous buyout.
Um.... yes it does. Not the only way it is superior, just another one.
