Don't you know that we're never happy with "just the ACC [insert award/title here]?" :)
Got the metallic orange Facyson helmet even though someone tried to snipe me for it. Had a proxy bid set at the same price as their max.
How about you?
Did you win yours?
They must really like pancakes.
If he doesn't get it then whatever but at this moment, having 8 ACC wins (8 total for previous 3 combined), a first round bye in ACC tournament this year, and having over a .500 record (16-15 at the worst) from where we are coming from, I think that would be more than deserving of ACC COY IMHO
Someone mentioned Bennett for national COY above meant to comment to that. Definitely think lareunega (yes I ruined the spelling there) deserves the acc spot with buzz and Bennett in second
RPI isn't the say all end all. Getting hot and passing the eyeball test means something too. Also, we have some unused karma that we need to cash out. Not saying we'd be getting in, but say going 7-1 to close the season, beating Pitt, Miami, Clemson, UNC and playing a Duke/ND close, heaven forbid winning, I think you give the committee something to think about.
I have seen a lot of projections with Clemson Coach Brad Brownell as ACC coach of the year. My thought are that it has to be a two horse race between him and Buzz. I would think that whichever team performs better in the last games of the regular season and the ACC tournament, their coach will win.
Understand what you are saying....but you yourself are stereotyping.
"You all sound like a bunch of 13 year olds."
If I am not mistaken it was probably just a few people complaining.
I don't give a crap what some writer says...
OK, That is Big10 & then National COY. That's a good observation, but thought we were talking ACC COY...
Coach of the year has to go to greg gard up here at madison. The turnaround this team has had since bo retired has been beyond astonishing.
This team has gone on a run were they've won 11 of 12 and are in the top 4 in the Big. They're also one of 2 teams to beat 4 top ten teams this year.
There's a reason they're not pursuing Bennett anymore
Then Larranaga (sp) will get it. Miami is battling for ACC regular season title. They've been darn good (I hate to admit that, but truth is truth).
Why is Bennett such a shoo-in? His team is pretty much doing what was expected of them. They were ranked #4 in the preseason polls and sit at #6 right now. It seems to me that those COY awards usually go to someone who exceeded expectations. I think in the ACC, Larranaga (sp?) and Buzz seem to be the guys to beat by that criteria.
So for fun, in that scenario Tech would probably be either the 8 or 7 seed in the ACC. Let's just say they're the 8 (with a tiebreaker over Clemson but not over Pitt or Cuse). They'd play Clemson, probably UNC, and then either Duke or Notre Dame.
According to RPI Wizard (a pretty reliable calculation tool), Tech would be 21-14 with a 67 RPI after beating those three teams and losing to Virginia in a hypothetical final. Not good enough still to make the dance, but somewhat similar to Maryland's run in 2013 (who almost made the final as the 7 seed). They'd have to win the whole shebang to go, but it's still fun to simply be able to have the conversation.
Yeah, but they WILL lose, and it will all mean nothing (just like them).
I'm pretty sure one person is buying all three Wyatt Teller helmets for over 600.00 each. That's impressive.
Um, UVA won...
Perfect. And then they lose, just as scripted.
Come on 5pm!!! I want a Beamer helmet badly.
I got you bro.

Yeah I don't think anyone is going to beat him out in the ACC
May we talk about what it's like being in a relationship with a UK fan during basketball season?
Congrats on your engagement too.
