Well you missed your chance with Queen Harrison

Harrison was indeed great as she qualified for the 2008 Olympics as the youngest member of the team at only 19-years-old. Harrison finished seventh in the semifinal of the Olympic Games and became the first athlete from the Virginia Tech track and field program to compete in the Olympics

It's certainly possible, might even be the most likely outcome for him. Over the past few years though, he has been very careful not to say anything that would make him seem hypocritical if he were to leave at the end of the year. I get the impression he wants to build that program, but has been open to a possible step up. Also, while Memphis might be on the radar of the Big 12, that doesn't mean it automatically happens, it's still a toss-up and not looking for power-5 jobs would be a pretty big risk to take.

There is a giant step up from NY6/BCS bowl to National Championship Game/Playoffs.

Wake Forest and Kansas have made BCS games, and now that pool is further diluted by making it easier for the Group of 6 to make it. There's a really big step that needs to be made to go from getting into one of those games, and legitimately playing for a National Title. Beamer had accomplished that step at VT, and saw what a springboard that would be. Fuente is on a course to go where Wake and Kansas have gone before.

The guy from Alabama State missed 2 free throws when they were up by 3 with 10 seconds left to play. His misses are not remembered as we missed the 3 ptr to send the game into OT.

I think that a lot of teams struggle from the line. We seem to be consistent in our success rate while other teams seem to be more hot or cold.

The key may be getting the right guys to the line but historically, the shot attempts in the pain have been our bigs and it is good to see everyone attacking the rim this season. Maybe we will have some guys with a little more touch shooting FTs this year.

Just my observation over the years.

I don't understand your point. Are you saying that as soon as Bud is handed the keys he's going to fire everyone he doesn't like? I don't see how, if Bud is announced as next coach, that would have any adverse effects on the locker room. Why can't they still say that they're in it together? What is it about Bud that would create a divide in the locker room?

I think you misinterpreted what I said. I said that I expect him to leave if a coordinator like Kirby Smart is hired. I think that it is more likely he stays if Morris, Herman, or Fuente is hired compared to Smart or any other coordinator. I think in the end he stays, because I expect we will hire a current HC and not a coordinator.
