# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Buzz ain't leaving.
If we see the jump we saw this year, could be a Sweet 16 team we're looking at.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Don't have to worry about Buzz leaving this offseason.
VCU pep band by far.
Really? Not having that problem at all, and I now live south of the border, lived the first year of my life in A Uva grad apartment, and my dad took me to see Sampson play several times growing up. FUVA. May this start a 10 game losing streak.

When your most famous/Richest alumni has donated $500 million to the Athletic Dept alone money doesn't (have to) matter

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. If it wasn't year two of a rebuild of which he is having massive success, I'd be biting my nails a little more. However, if Buzz is the type of person that his words and actions have lead me to believe he is over the past two years, then he isn't going to abandon what he is trying to build. We can only hope that he means what he says. I think there would be a lot of devastated people if that turns out to not be the case.
You know you've "seen" too much basketball this week when you start critiquing the pep bands. IMO Miami had the best of the week. LOLUVA has no feeling, they play like it's just notes on the page. Hokies were solid
I agree. I was just saying this is what it is. Could get political, but won't. Used to teach high school. Unfortunately the farther you get from the students the less education becomes about helping the kids. The only thing worse than state regulation is federal regulation when comes to focusing on the student. This about politics, not education.
Agreed. It's a potentially dangerous libertarian-like move that could give advantages to a select-group over the unselected in a publicly funded educational institution. IMO, if people really want to select the school they go to, they should use their own funds for a private school.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Kinda like Tony Bennett was going back to Wisconsin was such a fact. I expect Buzz will have Tech as a back to back good program in year 6 of his contract and probably leave a year early, but I would be excited if he got/stayed for a 2nd contract
Few coaches will again stay for 30 years, but there's nothing bad in being a Memphis (Calipari) or George Mason (Jim Larraaga)

Even if you want to argue the ACC is better, tough to deny the b12 has KU, OU, WVU and ISU right now.
OSU is a better job by almost any measure.
I would assume a student would be responsible for getting themselves to school outside of their district. I know in Ohio if your district school failed certain conditions you could apply to a nearby district but you had to provide transportation.
Have they addressed logistics on this? The busing, the cost, any of that? It just seems like a logistical nightmare in some of northern Florida.
And that is a terrible message the state is sending. If you want me to dig up the statistics I will but in general terms, like 1% of high school footballers will play at a school that can feasibly send athletes to the pros. 1% of footballers at those colleges will go on to the actual pros (think it's less that 1% in reality). Sports are more important than staying is a strong, academically supportive district.
I'm biased. I work in college admissions and I take responsibility for every student that walks through our doors. If your school is not focusing on the education of a student and pushing them along saying they are going to go pro, no worries, and push them along you are failing as educators. I love when ESPN bangs the drum of academically talented athletes that want to be doctors, lawyers, or doctors. Those are great role models for young athletes.
So to get to my point, allowing students to hamstring their academics to be on the state championship team is setting a student athlete up for a potentially lacking academic high school career.
I really can't decide who I want to lose this game more LOLUVA or UNcheat?

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. I don't think Ok State is that attractive of a destination. More money in an easier conference to get to the dance is the only thing in a think of. Now other bigger time schools might have an opportunity to sway Buzz.
Fuente in the other hand could have went anywhere he wanted this season and he chose us. He seems to be a small town guy and family man.
I think he only leaves for his alma madar. He's not going to get the knocks for bigger schools until he gets to the big games, but he has everything he needs to win here.
That was my grand fathers favorite drink - Canadian Club and M&R w a splash of angostora. Had over a case of CC in the closet when passd away. Grew up thinking that was the only cocktail there was. Still have them often. Prefer a dry light whiskey like Makers, still M&R for the red, but like experimental bitters. Will still do CC, beam or EDub occasionally. Good whiskey straight up, cheaper with ice. Put a cherry in my wife's. Usually start with a smokier whiskey over ice before switching to Manhattens. Old Fashions are also a nice before dinner drink that are making a come-back.

Seriously though, I love you Fireman but I don't think that leads to productive discussion. It's just claims on why someone wouldn't leave because of how great we are vs how great someone else is. If it happens, both Fuente and Buzz are amazing human beings. I wish amazing human beings were in demand all the time. I'm more concerned if Whit decides to leave. He's an allstar AD and I trust him more than I can vocalize.
You just described my actual little brother. (went to VCU)
Thanks for the heads up. I'll grab something good to to have on hand for de-viriginization this week.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. That's the way I'm leaning but I think we have to get used to these rumors for both Buzz and Fuente from here on out.

Sounds like a very tight culture in Blacksburg right now. Of course, professional opportunities usually outweigh happy feelings and all, but I have to imagine that building a program in the ACC would have to make Buzz strongly consider staying put for a few years. We're on the right track, for sure, but I'm sure he would like to hang his hat on some greater accomplishments in the best basketball conference.
such a physical game
Hahahahaha.........Florida.
