Whit told Mike Young I'm going to cut your funding and give it all to football, a program I've also mismanaged. Also, you're going to get a G6 roster, figure it out. That's exactly what Mike Young did. FAM.
But let's practice free throws this week.

Thank God that he has experience of 18 seasons and 300 wins at the G5 level!!
Joking aside, I honestly do think he is the right coach for VT right now. He might not be making chicken cordon bleu, but he's making chicken salad with the scraps he got.
And I do hope that he can somehow get a collection of players that want to play for Mike Young. Develop and grow them in the program like Aluma, Mutts, and all his players at Wofford. I think those days may be gone, but if he could somehow get a core to stick with him, VT would be pretty decently good and making tournaments again.

My wife came out of the bedroom and we started that 2:15 second half drought. I sent her back to the room and we scored. I don't believe in coincidence.
Edit: to add to this she stayed in our bedroom the entirety of the ACC championship run as well soo at this point it's a known fact.

Hokies with the win are either 9th or 10th in the ACC after today. After how this season started if you had told me they would be middle of the pack in February I would have laughed.
If they beat Notre Dame in the next one they could be 8th.

Impressed with the improvement from our team since the early part of the season. Offense looked good for large stretches of this game. Every single player looks to be getting better as the season progresses. 5-6 in a bad ACC still might be CMYs best coaching yet at VT.

This team is playing much better than I expected. If they can keep the current players eligible to return next season (particularly Lawal) they could be decent next year.

Bag for Lawal's services next year going up every game. I expect $EC or b10 to sweep in and poach him. Will preface with 'I have no idea how the $$$ work for international players. Never had any clue how it was done or not with Amoore previously.

It's now Feb 1 and we are tied for 9th in the ACC.
I'd say that's a positive surprise all things considered.
Looking at the conference slate ahead of us, I can see us potentially winning 4 more games. That would put us at 9-11 in conference, 14-17 overall. With 106 wins at that point, Young would be the 4th winningest coach in VT men's basketball history and one win behind Seth Greenberg for second best record over 6 years.

6 wins would put Young 1 win shy of Chuck Noe for 3rd best all-time.
Any postseason wins would move him squarely into the top 3, within 3 years' striking distance of Seth Greenberg for 2nd and maybe 5-6 years' of Moir's record.

And how many less games than Buzz due to COVID? That's impressive feat, for sure. Especially when other coaches that rely on development all over the ACC have just straight up quit. Young is a fighter. A true Fighting Gobbler.

If this was a normal game, I wouldn't be as happy that we relied so much on throwing up so many jumpers. However, this was not a normal game. I couldn't care less if we heaved 47 full court shots to win this game. This was at Wahoo-town, so eff them. I hope their souls are shattered from the near comeback and the one point loss. Hokie FAM time!!
PS: I was really worried about watching this one because I felt like I nearly ruined that amazing lead we had on F$U when I started watching in the 2nd half. Glad to see I didn't ruin this win.
GO HOKIES

Yeah, but he had, you know, real division 1 players that year. This feels like he's just coaching his ass off getting A LOT from guys that are pretty happy to be here.

NEVER. A. DOUBT.
I'll have what you're drinking!
1 or a 100... FAM!
FEEL GOODBUTT CLINCHER WIN FAMFAM! I know LOLUVA isn't as good as they normally have been but a win at JPJ is always special.

14-23 at the line....woof
After going 9-10 in the first half 😬
1-7 down the stretch. That was... not good Bob.
We should have won by 5 or more. These guys need to get ice in their veins.

Sorry everyone, I turned it on with 7 mins to go, that near heart attack at the end was my fault.

She's a keeper!

Ok, but what happened in the basketball game?
Well. Done.

I wasn't sure we'd win a single acc game. This is quite the pleasant surprise.
We actually have a bunch of winnable games down the stretch. For all the complaints about game time, CMY is doing the work to make them a team.
Any win over loluva is a good win FAM!
And at their place!? FAM FAM!!
LOLUVA...
Wow, I can breathe again. Fam.
Suck it loluva
FAM!

amoore would go to aurstalia for a couple weeks and get a concentrated influx of NIL cash for posts to australians
A win is a win.

Buzz era + a CMY ACC title has VT fans forgetting about how rough the previous 4-5 decades had been.
We could go 6-3 I dont think we will but that's possible with UVA, Miami, Cuse, and BC being bad, then decent chances against ND and UNC.

Back-to-back road ACC wins. When was the last time that happened? FAM
I think we won a tournament doing that.

Team seems much deeper than past teams not as talented but definitely deeper and more athletic
FAM!!!
Duke is blowing the doors off UNCHEAT. Might be the most lopsided game ever. Currently 77-49. Screw the Tarholes
2 points in the final 1:52 and we somehow didn't lose fam! It was so awful to watch -- like a car crash but I couldn't look away lol
FAM! Is this CMY's best coaching job of his VT tenure?
Winning the ACC tournament has to be the answer.
Until the next time he wins the ACC Tournament.
Yes, that day would be awesome!
Yeah, but he had, you know, real division 1 players that year. This feels like he's just coaching his ass off getting A LOT from guys that are pretty happy to be here.
The fact that this question seemingly gets asked every season has to count for something, right??
Closer than it needed to be, but at the end of the day, it's a win over LOLUVA
Yep. They got the bacon, but we got the dub. I'll take it.
