That's great news. Would be big to finish Top Ten as a team. Hopefully one of the boys finish off their bracket and win. Always good to have another National Champion.

8 out of the 9 still alive in the tournament. Carter, Neibert and Penny still alive in the Championship brackets with a chance to clench All-American honors with wins in the morning session. Sitting in 10th place as a team.
Great write-up. What I also found interesting is that he has 3 of the tallest players in college basketball on his roster. One player at 7'6", one at 7'2", and the last at 7'. Also has 2 other 6'10" players on his roster. Although he wouldn't be my first choice, I feel as if Turner would be a solid 2nd tier coach if Whit's other options don't work out.
I was in DC when DC United was really successful which played a large role in getting me back into the game. They won four of the first eight MLS championships. Been pretty dreadful the last few seasons though.
I went to the last US game versus Mexico in Columbus, Ohio. That was a crazy experience. US soccer fans are just a little nuts compared to some of their worldwide counterparts but against Mexico they lose their mind. We ended up winning 2-0 for the fifth straight world cup qualifier win at Columbus and all of those were 2-0 wins. There were plenty of guys with Dos A Cero t-shirts made up to rub in the score that always seems to happen there. It was also nice to see a soccer specific stadium and I hope DC can finalize the arrangement to get their similar stadium near Nats park. That place will be phenomenal and not having to go to RFK will be a big plus unto itself.
I stopped following soccer when Pele retired.
God Yes those fries are to die for!
Since a lot of my fellow HT seniors arent giant drinkers it is nice to go there for a bit then those of us that want to hit up HH or Sharkeys can break off. Ironically the sister of the new Corps/student life liaison is a bartender there now!
I thought they were talking about that sports bar outside of maple ridge apartments
We call that space Goodwill now
Has some possibility. Really bad first two years at Irvine, but the last two years have been 20+ wins. They lost in the first round of the NIT this year to Southern Methodist, but that's two years in a row to the post season. Has the local ties. He graduated Magna Cum Laude and was First Team Academic All American his senior year, so will put the proper importance on academics I have to think. As a player, he averaged 21.6 ppg and was a two time All American
I cant seem to find much on his recruiting or playing style as a coach but looking at the roster/statistics it seems he relies heavily on his guards to penetrate and create their own shot or drop it onto their post player to take a low high percentage shot. Current roster has 11 of 15 from California but they do appear to be from all over the state plus a couple foreign players probably from his connections working with the NBA International Outreach Program as a coach with Golden State. It makes sense with the talent internal to California that it would be heavily focused this way but I would hope if he were to come to Tech that he would be a bit more diverse. Not sure how current his connections are to the ACC and the East Coast as 2000 was the last time he was affiliated with an ACC team. I am sure he would be able to leverage his roots after getting to know coaches at the High School and AAU circuit for this area but that would likely take a couple years. I think there are more experienced potentially available candidates for this to become a reality. His salary at least initially at UCI was $205,000 on a five year contract. This would have been the fourth year of that contract so I have to think there was a renegotiation at least sometime in the last year or so.
me too. after roughly 3.5 rails things got really fuzzy.
I had three rails once...then I became this Raptor

Champs has the next-best drink in Blacksburg though, little-known secret called the Wide Open
David Wilson was in town for the pro day. Nice to see our NFL Hokies come back for visits.
The place behind Woody's \ Sharky's was The Warehouse (199?-2001) and The Nerv (2002 - 200?).
Don't you mean you were born a horse?
Lets hope they go that route. Leave the better coaches to us to go get. I could see Capel getting the offer as well. Either of them I would be fine with going to Wake.
At least their fan base cared enough to have a visible reaction like that.
Wake Forest finally fired Bzdelnik and Wake students were so happy they TP'd the quad
This is incredible. Post-Bzdelik decision. RT @martinrickman: wake forest quad right now via http://t.co/7OF3rX459y pic.twitter.com/FSUxvPBDGq— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) March 20, 2014
Wake is considered a better destination than VT which puts pressure on VT. Jeff Capel would be high on their list. That's 3 ACC schools looking to fill a head coaching position and a name to watch out for for the Wake job apparently is the one and only
Not sure. May wanna ask him -- @sethonhoops? RT @aggs82: @GoodmanESPN does Seth Greenberg want to coach again?— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) March 20, 2014
Wasn't me but i am assuming people gave him a turkey leg because he doesn't like them?
I'm saying.
French could make videos about this topic and we would give him turkey legs for the educational value alone of the prose, videos, and diagrams.
North Dakota St winning the game and breaking all of my brackets. Very good win for them. They stood tall down the end in OT.
Good first day so far
(I really didn't want to wade into this thread but you left me no choice)
We'd probably all think the guy is a dbag because he went to Dook. And while I am comfortable admitting I have a double standard with Dook students (I can't hate on the female students as much for whatever reason), I'm also reasonably sure we'd all be right.
One post script, because this got me thinking about it...I certainly don't hold Dook female students is as low regard as I do Dook male students. But I think just as poorly of women that chose to go to LOLUVA as men. Like...they ALL should've KNOWN better, right?
I probably said something offensive here, and I apologize that I brought my low class self into this calm, intellectually spirited discussion of porn.
I had almost the same, except Cincy instead of 'Nova.
And then Hah-vahd happened.
While games at Lane stadium were some of the most amazing times of my life, when it comes to a sports experience there it not much that compares to being at soccer game in Europe(Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena was my experience). There is just a non-stop involvement of fans for 90 minutes that makes you feel connected to every single person in the stadium.
