And Buzz is gone


Apr 3, 2019, 9:34 AM

Is VT still our preferred 'example' for the bazzkitz-balls?

Are you kidding me? Do you think VPI is thinking

“Man, I wish we’d never hired Buzz. We’d have been better off with someone less successful who would stay”


Surely you are not serious

Snowtown. You do realize that Clemson and VT's ACC basketball records are identical over the last 5 years right?

So if you think VT has had all sorts of success, then give Brownell credit.

VT has made the NCAA tournament three years in a row


Apr 3, 2019, 9:56 AM

we've made it once in the past eight years. Hardly the same any way you want to slice it.

Are you high?


Apr 3, 2019, 9:59 AM [ in reply to Re: Are you kidding me? Do you think VPI is thinking ]

you must be high

Is this really a road you want to go down... comparing wins w/ VPI over the past 3 years, which equates to 3 NCAATs for them.

Yes I do want to compare the 2 programs. I didn't know your definition of success is losing in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Good for them. That is literally the difference in the last 5 years.

Virginia Tech is 69-32 over the past 3 seasons. They were also 32-22 in the ACC over that time period.

Clemson is 62-40 over the past 3 seasons. We were also 26-28 in the ACC over that time period.

That's an extra 3.3 wins and losses per season, which isn't trivial.

VT and Clemson's records might loook identical over the past 5 years because 5 years ago was Buzz's first season at VT and he finished 11-22. Five years ago was Brad's 5th season at Clemson, and we finished 16-15.

No, I'm sure they are rationalizing it like many of you

would be if it happened here (again).

That rationalization is just as ridiculous.***

There are alot of big name coaches in the SEC now


Apr 3, 2019, 10:26 AM

in bball. This is what increased revenue from tv contracts and outside sponsorships will get you. More cash.

If memory serves me correctly, which it has failed me lately, neither Barnes nor Purnell really left because of matters relating to basketball. Maybe Purnell but certainly not Barnes.

One--RB--left for the $$ and OP left because he was feuding with the AD often about perks for he and the Mrs., as I recall. RB also had a skeleton or two hanging around & it was not the Clemson public school system.

How dare you suggest that increased basketball funding

can actually make a difference! ;)
