Sorry, no.
Fuck UVa.
Eh I gotta admit that a game at JPJ (this was before I was a huge Tech fan) was one of the best basketball atmospheres I've been a part of. Not a popular opinion but where credit is due...
I laugh out loud every time.
I think the assistant coach there is pretending to be a conductor of the band.
This team is going to be a fun watch next year. And I would honestly say that if you are a higher seed in the ACC tourney, you probably don't want to draw Buzz' bunch either.
Meh
As someone who works with youths for a living I approve of your disapproval.
UNC beat Syracuse tonight. When UVA beats Clemson tomorrow night and the Hokies beat Pittsburgh on Wednesday, we will have a four way tie for 7th place at 9-8 going into the final games on Saturday. Picked to finish 14th and Hokies win both games, Buzz deserves COY.
No. Stop. Bad.
Bennett? You must be drinking Hoo kool-aid. Larranaga should win it hands down.

# | Recruiting and the Changing Role of Virginia Tech's Defensive End and Backer What's the over/under on long it will take for folks to start clamoring for more speed on the edge?
I like the random Wake Forest Music music stand smack dab in the middle of the picture foreground
Thanks. And it's not as bad as you would think. Her family is from Kentucky and her dad is a diehard UK fan, a knowledgable one at that, so I try and enjoy bball season with them... Got to go to a few games with them last year and had a great time. I'll rock a UK shirt to the gym to support her and she'll rock a hokie shirt for me... Her dad also humors my VT bball talk, tries not to complain about their recruiting "misses," and even listens to my VT 757 recruiting frustrations.

# | Recruiting and the Changing Role of Virginia Tech's Defensive End and Backer Question: Jimmie Taylor also played some offense right? I thought I remembered hearing he played TE and even some WR, which is freak-ish.
Also, his offer sheet included Harbaugh and the SEC (Gators, Vols). The 2014 DE group included several guys that were 4*'s on one or more major service, with Trevon Hill being a composite 4* and Fulwood had a crazy offer sheet that included Bama and Ohio State among a bunch of top programs. (Plus Gaines- who I know some are higher on) It seems like a deeper than acknowledged group, 4* Melvin Keihn left, wisely perhaps, and it wasn't even a big deal. So my question is, has there ever been this highly touted of a DE group at VT out of HS?
Yeah I work in that really really big tower with all of the satellite dishes on top. Let me guess you work for epic?
Let's just win the ACC. Then nothing matters.
in reference to the Cathplics comment above, and declaring I am a Methodist, the strong Catholic football schools do not put up with ANY BS. I know many can poke holes in the "sensitivity" in my statement but the bottom line is the true parents back the teachers and vice versa and they are all willing to fight for what it s right. Ergo, the political BS is eliminated. That is how they achieve success.
...and we'd get to watch Seth Greenberg's head literally explode when they announced VT in the tourney :-)
Hill shot 38% from 3, was a lock down defender, rebounded and brought Chris Clarke type energy to the floor.
Satchels double take- priceless
Part of coaching is recruiting. He recruited those guys to UVA, so he gets credit for that too. I agree that Buzz has done a lot, but probably not COY worthy. Larranaga or Bennett will likely get it.

# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket I like where your heads at.
Gotta beat at least one of those teams, can't get creamed by all three
I'd vote Buzz for ACC COY. Last in the league 4 straight years and he's gotten us to a .500 conference record? Superb.
Buzz's team improved more than Brad Brownell's Clemson team, beat Brad's team head to head, exceeded expectations by a greater margin, and has essentially the same record/conference record as Brad's team.
Bennett's UVA team is talented. I don't want to hear about how Bennett's taking scrapheap players and turning them into gold. That team has some real players on it. UVA is currently performing how they should be. Ditto with Jim Larranaga. Miami is full of experienced players and had all the pieces come together. People knew Miami had a really good team (maybe not this good, but still very good). I have a ton of respect for both Bennett and Larranaga, but Buzz's job has been more impressive in my mind.
The only coach in my mind who has a claim at ACC COY other than Buzz is Rick Pitino. UL was picked to finish 7th in the league and they're ranked #11 in the nation right now. He has taken 5th year transfers and added them to a team that wasn't supposed to do that much. His big man Mangok Mathiang went down and he's still kept them afloat. They still somehow have a legitimate chance at winning the ACC and probably have the best defense in the country.
Wow. That guy looks like Devin Thomas of the Deacs.
