Its Buzzketball's Edition of Hate Week

By: TheMVdude on January 10, 2019, 2:46 PM | 54 comments

I am equal parts hype, and dread, over this UVA game. On one hand the shooting @GT ugliness has me concerned. If GT holds us to 52, UVA must be licking their chops. JRob has been in a funk for a while, and we are in trouble if it spreads to NAW. On the other hand, that defense was rock solid. I have been conditioned by hokie sports to expect the worst in these sort of games. KBJr gets into foul trouble, and no one can buy a basket from outside. I have a theory that we have been winning in the ACC so far because of our superior conditioning, we hung neck and neck with BC and ND for the first half, and then just gassed them in the second. But I have to imagine that the likes of UVA and Duke have the stamina to go step for step. I have no idea what is going to happen on Tuesday, but I do know that hate keeps you warm!

Go Hokies! Beat loluva!

The title makes it sound like we're hating on Buzzketball.

Tony Bennett thinks a well executed ball screen is the most exciting play in basketball.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Would be awesome if every Hokie going to the game found a cheap UMBC shirt to wear...

I "found" one the very first day the UMBC bookstore put their commemorative shirts on sale. And paid $10 shipping for a $23 shirt. No regrets.

I was there in person to witness this sweet, sweet moment. They were selling March Madness shirts for each team in the regional and I was able to scoop one of the UMBC shirts before they sold out. One of my greatest sports-related memories of my life thus far and I'm going to have to witness some really awesome stuff in my life to knock it out of the top 3.

EDIT: being at the game was the best memory part, not buying the shirt haha

Tony Bennett thinks that Sinatra was WAY overrated.
He also believes January is perfect for tailgating before a basketball contest with a crisp white wine. Or warm zima with a cinnamon stick.

At first I wasn't going to leg you because the jokes were so obvious.

But then you threw in the warm zima and cinnamon stick and turned old and done into all new 'hoo hatin' ground.

I'm now morbidly curious what other ways they take their zima.

Huh. I always figured they just opened it, let it breathe, decanted it and got Carruthers to pour it when it reached cellar temperature.

How can you hate him? He gave us the greatest gift of all time. He was the first (and only) 1-seed to lose to a 16-seed in NCAA tournament history. In case you haven't heard.

Tony Bennett is hoping his team will be able to retrieve victory in the Commonwealth Clash because nobody cares about football.

Tony Bennett moves the snow in front of his car just enough to get out and leaves. Then he comes back and parks in the space that somebody worked to clear completely out, leaving his uncleared spot for somebody else.

Tony Bennett sips Zima and Chardonnay on a patio while wearing Patagonia and Orvis and calls himself "outdoorsy."

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
