I love my apple tv. Watching this game on the big screen! LeDay and Clarke are huge gets for us!
Not so special tonight from the free throw line though, shooting 57% on 15/26 shooting. Was hoping last game was a turning point on this.
Until I hear more, not going to believe it. He isn't even on their fanbase's radar.
Also, the Fighting Illini colors are too similar to #LOLUVA, I mean come on now, he would laugh every time he saw the uniforms.
Seriously, the University of Illinois? I mean they usually steal our professors, not our coaches. I see a big cultural disconnect between Bud Foster and University of Illinois.
I love and appreciate all that Coach Foster has done at VT, but if he wanted to become an HC, I think he could do better than the University of Illinois. Maybe try for USCe....
If he goes, he goes
We are hiring a new staff. Can't blame him if he's ready to leave. Best of luck to him if it happens, and I'd be happy for him. I'd love the Frank Beamer coaching tree to start getting some legitimate branches.
You can tell Buzz is treating this game as a learning opportunity. Trying out different pressure defenses, utilizing the whole roster, letting guys make mistakes, even calling a timeout at the end there to practice a set play against real competition. You could argue that the score should be more in the Hokies favor but lets be honest, other than the first couple minutes, Tech has never been in jeopardy. Hopefully they continue with a strong second half and head to the tournament this weekend with a little momentum.
Question: How different would the new coach hire conversation be if Bud Foster was as successful of a coach on the offensive side of the ball?
Matt Galloway in the game today before Pierce. Different positions but I take it as a more and more of a sign. Pierce must not be getting it done in practice as well as the game to sit like this.
Big "what if" scenario: what if Bud does indeed become the Illinois HC (or a HC at any P5 school), and builds their program into a national power. On the flip side, we hire a dud of a coach and our program sinks even more than it is now. How awful would that feel to have a great coach in waiting but not give him the job? Then, to witness his success at another school while our program flounders. That's why I would give our job to bud. On top of that, he's earned the right to be our next coach by helping to build our program. That's something no other coach in the country can say. No one has earned it the way bud has
Nooooooooooooooooo!
Was clinging to hope that he'd stay on as DC......but deep down I knew he'd leave.....I would if I were snubbed after all these years
What's the saying? If you really love something let it go? Bud has done so much for Virginia Tech already, and if he won't get a shot at being head coach here he deserves to have one somewhere.
How about Bud does not leave but doesn't coach either. He would only stay on as DC for a few coaches. How about he actually retires to the lake and stays on as a advisor/consultant in Blacksburg for a nice paycheck and enjoys his family and his life.
On the one hand I'm hesitant to put much stock in any coaching rumors (at VT or otherwise) until they're made official by the hiring school. Press conference and all. There have been so many rumors of done deals that my head is spinning.
On the other hand, I suspected there was a pretty darn good chance Bud would be gone after this year.
I also want to point out that the rumor is that he's a candidate. That means relatively nothing.
Seeing people call South Carolina "USC" honestly pisses me off more than "Vah Tech." And I have no connection to either South Carolina or USC.
Didn't Illinois come after Bud a few years ago?
Good luck to ya Bud
Chris Clarke doing Chris Clarke things. Two putbacks off of missed free throws already.
Also I think we'll see a lot more of Devin Wilson than people thought before the season.
Nice. I'm glad he's back and playing well. Say what you want about all the other guards, but Wilson has a (relative) ton of experience and is a pretty decent ball handler. We will need him when we run into teams that like to press a lot.

# | Buzzketball Central: NC A&T Aggies (0-5) at Virginia Tech Hokies (2-1) 7PM ESPN3 Showing up big with 3 assists.
Never said I was nice.
As a % VT also has a Student Section very much on the large side amongst the FBS, it could theoretically get smaller in the future.
Days. We wore all maroon against Clemson in 2006 and all white in 2007 and hammered them both times
Late to the party. Kinda surprised we're down early. Hamilton looks like he's picking up where he left off last game. And....Is that a Devin Wilson I see?


I'm hoping Seth Allen gets his act together before ACC play. Not impressed so far.
