Let's not forget the second verse

Fight, men, oh, fight, men, we're going to be the champions
Adding to our list another victory;
Football or baseball, the games in which we star,
They're the sports which made old VP famous.
Hold'em, just hold'em, you know the Corps' behind you
Watching every movement that you make.
Winning games was nothing for our teams before you --
Keep the "rep" for VP's sake

Or better yet, VPI Victory March!

You've seen Mountaineers fumble,
You've been in Hurricanes' eye,
And you know 'ol Syracuse
Has learned the force of Hokie-Hi.
Worthy teams from all around,
Like Hoos from UVA,
Know a winning team awaits them;
Victory is ours today.

The bigger issue is that they were freshman - one a true freshman.

It's funny how often completely incongruous position switches are seen as solutions and yet relatively congruous position switches are seen as detrimental - when the exact opposite is more generally true.

Side note, I was sitting right behind our bench and Whit was sitting all by himself in the chairs behind the hoop right in front of me. I wonder why he was sitting alone, I would have invited him to come stand with us. I could tell he was on edge about the game the whole time. He really wants our sports programs (especially the revenue generators) to succeed. Side side note, we ran into President Sands at Matchbox before the game and he too was alone eating dinner. I feel like of all the people to be at the game, how did these two end up alone. But it is cool to know they were at the game to support Buzz and the team.

My wife just independently mentioned this to me during the FSU game, and I thought I've seen it at least 4 times on TKP since November.

I guess it's one of those things you've either seen it or you haven't.

I almost enjoy Buzz' post-game interviews as much as the games lately. They're always drawn around life and life lessons, love and character. This is how a team develops a culture, love for one another, playing for each other, and while we're not yet good enough to show swagger, we can demonstrate a little Zach LeDay attitude here and there. And, I like it!!!! The appearance now that we see with this team that we are showing some relevance and it's only year 2 of the Buzz has started a groundswell among the Hokie Nation & when guys like Jay Bilas are gushing, then we are on to something. A large part of it, to quote the Buzzmeister, " is to recruit character from kids that are raised right and who know right from wrong". If Fuente comes through as well, as I'm confident that he will, Whit will be confirmed as the man who made the Hokies relevant again.

Could we be a Cinderella team? They are a blast to watch, with such energy and emotion. This team has returned the excitement to Hokie basketball and it's great seeing the tournament being player where we have a virtual home court crowd!

Good luck tonight, you're made the Hokie Nation proud, already......and ' Thanks' coach for building a TEAM.
