That Malcolm Delaney buzzer beater though...
That's actually not a "reported" version of events. Scott has bounced around because both Foster and Fuente recognize he's a good coach who needs to be somewhere on the defense. There were zero plans to have him coach safeties until Torrian Gray decided he was leaving, which was about a week and a half before it was announced.
lol, was doing the same thing
I don't know what was worse... the lack of sleep I got last night or the refereeing.
Of course I kid, I would stay up that late and take a win like that again in a heart beat. But all kidding aside, When I was watching the GT/Clemson game, I knew they were going to call literally EVERYTHING. I think 5 or 6 guys fouled out yesterday, that's unheard of, and a bunch of guys had 3/4 fouls.
I mean I'm sure she's qualified and all...
For the first time since the Greenburg era, I regret giving up my season tickets. I will be fixing that problem next year. Buzz has the team far ahead of where most fans thought we would be at this point.
Miles and miles and miles of heart!
Sounds like some couches might be getting burned in the near future.
As I'm reading this... "Hmmm, it looks like he made a typo when he was trying to talking about coaches possibly getting burned as a result of the Holgorsen situa...... oh..... nevermind. What he wrote is in fact more accurate."
Bilas went overboard in the whining about the fouls we were 'committing' late in that game. It got to the point that if we breathed, it was a foul, and yet he was bitching and moaning the entire time as if we should have known better. Towards the end, the only way to not foul was to not play defense and allow them to score.
Legs for the deep cut simpsons gif
Come on, man. Announcers were fine, can't expect them to know major alumni bases for every single school in the country, and he really couldn't stop gushing over Zach LeDay and how hard we played. He said multiple times that we just play out-worked Florida State and gave us a ton of credit for it.

# | Clinical Offensive Performance Lifts Hokies to 96-85 Victory Over Florida State I liked Bilas last night, two observations that stuck out: his apprciation for LeDay and Bilas picking up on how hard we were playing.
I always like Bilas, one of my five favorite color guys across all sports. And Schulman is always good on the play-by-play.

# | Clinical Offensive Performance Lifts Hokies to 96-85 Victory Over Florida State Some of it was whistles on non-fouls, but FSU also got really physical on D and drew those whistles. We seemed to step up our physicality as a response to that. I think FSU realized at halftime that they needed to change up the tone and came out with their backs against the wall.
A lot of fouls, a lot of them warranted. It was a tough game.
And to top it off the Refs made sure the game went past midnight by not removing their whistles from their mouths in the second half.
In reality, the only reason that game was even somewhat close was because the refs got ridiculously whistle happy calling a bunch of stuff that wasn't fouls on both teams. If they were allowed to continue play, that was probably going to be a win by >20.
Regardless of what happens the rest of this weekend, I seriously can't wait for the 2016-17 season.
Just no.

I mean seriously... I would never cheer for ECU in anything

# | Buzzketball Central: Florida State Seminoles(19-12,8-10) at Virginia Tech Hokies(18-13,10-8) 930PM ESPN2/ACC Network They know we're gonna beat them.
I need to cop me a pair of galloway goggles.
I'm not sure we'll be too tired. After all, the refs made sure everyone got enough fouls to keep them on the bench more than they'd normally be.
When was the last time we had 3 guys foul out in regulation?
Really enjoyed watching that game. Fell asleep, but DVR-ed it, 'cause I knew I would. Watched it this morning without knowing VT won. Nice to see we control the entire game. 2nd half was a foul-fest, but we hit ~80% so that was sweet. Wish we hadn't fouled them almost as much as they did us - that could be a concern for us against Miami tonight. We need to have good legs on D tonight and not be tired like FSU was last night (lots of flat footed reach in fouls), that will be key to us being competitive tonight. Either we are in a battle tonight for the entire game or we get blasted, we'll see which team shows up. Another victory against MIami would be so sweet, but it will not come easy.
On another note, Jay Bilas was a real tool for most of the game. He has no idea how many VT alumni and fans are in the DC area - he made some comment about so many traveling from Blacksburg (which I'm sure some did). AND, he was just so pro-FSU the entire game, even when we dominated the entire game. I was so sick of listening to him...
Running on Pure adrenaline got a few hours of shuteye. So did anybody tell sportscenter that about the late game in that ACC conference tourney thingy in DC last night. Maybe BUZZ refused an interview?

# | Clinical Offensive Performance Lifts Hokies to 96-85 Victory Over Florida State I started saying "Do not go into overtime" with about 2:30 left in that game. You could just see it coming.

I just hope tonight's game starts before 10 pm.
