Buzz always gets the last laugh
HokieNL • 03/05/26 12:23 PM ET
Got news for ya - CJF is more like Buzz than folks see right now
gatorhokie • 03/06/26 10:20 AM ET
Very thought provoking. Thanks for posting that.**
HokieNL • 03/06/26 10:55 AM ET
I'll take the big ego and all the winning, thanks.**
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:33 AM ET
100%**
Hokies23 • 03/06/26 11:49 AM ET
I loved his ENERGY going up/down the side line. Good coach glad we had him**
George Baylor • 03/05/26 09:49 PM ET
Personally, I enjoyed the Buzz years
91VThokie • 03/05/26 08:02 PM ET
Me, too. Because I like it when VT wins, and when we advance to The NCAAT.
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:41 PM ET
Buzz wasn’t afraid to “play the game” to compete. **
Lancelot Link • 03/06/26 08:32 AM ET
given that typically and historically any improvement in a VT

Greenberg finished 4th in the ACC in year 2 (1st season in ACC)
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 10:24 PM ET
I think Greenberg's tenure
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 09:31 AM ET
I'll never maintain that Seth is/was perfect but it was a really fun time
Vippie1 • 03/06/26 09:54 AM ET
If you take away year 1 from Seth Greenbergs tenure
Vippie1 • 03/06/26 07:40 AM ET
He actually went 8-8 in our first year in the ACC.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/06/26 07:58 AM ET
Neither could sustain it though. And I know that's not what you're claiming
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:43 PM ET
A lot of things went sideways at the end of Greenberg's tenure
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 09:34 AM ET
And he knew he would have lost it the following season...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 12:20 AM ET
Maybe. But that might also have been due to him having one foot out the
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 08:44 AM ET
He was recruiting players to A&M while at VT...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:00 AM ET
Meh. Hokie fans pretty used to mediocre basketball seasons. Buzz's record,
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:07 AM ET
The number of fans who have wanted MY fired THIS season says otherwise...**
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:09 AM ET
Well, Young has taken VT to less tourneys, and won less games than Buzz.
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:21 AM ET
If MY makes the tourney this season they will be the same number...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:31 AM ET
Let's face it. Very unlikely for VT to get to the tournament. Even if it
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:47 AM ET
Not a single person in support of MY likes him for his drawl...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:05 AM ET
Lol, if only that were true. There are a ton of Hokie fans who absolutely
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:12 AM ET
That's like saying people only liked Buzz for his oversized head
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:15 AM ET
If only that were true. Greenberg got run out of town because he didn't
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:25 AM ET
that's ridiculous. He was hard to work for. Also, some wanted Curry on the
SmithfieldHokie • 03/06/26 10:00 PM ET
respectfully, I think a lot of that being the reason Greenberg got run out
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 12:40 PM ET
I agree with everything you wrote. But I don't even care what Weaver said.
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 12:47 PM ET
There's some chicken and egg with that and hard to say which came first
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 12:53 PM ET
Being a jerk and not being folksy aren't the same.**
TheFacts • 03/06/26 11:44 AM ET
There are lots and lots of people who don't know the difference. There's a
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 11:52 AM ET
It isnt on me to prove/disprove your own claim...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:33 AM ET
I have decades of evidence, thousands of posts from people on these boards.
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:38 AM ET
With all that evidence it shouldn't be hard to produce examples...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:40 AM ET
The examples go back 20 years. I don't keep posts. You have no clue because
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:51 AM ET
You said you have evidence...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:52 AM ET
It's hearsay, and wouldn't be admissible in a U.S. court of law due to
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 11:32 AM ET
Do you think Blackshear leaves for Florida if Buzz had stayed? That would
BackInTheBurg • 03/06/26 07:47 AM ET
No, Florida was promising him unrealistic things.**
TheFacts • 03/06/26 11:47 AM ET
I dont think Blackshear was interested in a rebuilding year his last year
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 08:56 AM ET
if you read the post I also said
lazarus1 • 03/05/26 10:40 PM ET
The whole premise of your post was praise for a quick turnaround
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 11:18 PM ET
Buzz's first two trips to the Big Dance at VT came up empty as did MY's...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:56 PM ET
Thanks for pointing that out. Greenberg in particular is underappreciated.
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:40 PM ET
Greenberg's only real problem was he didn't know how to schedule for RPI.
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:47 PM ET
Yep, and the funny thing about that...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/06/26 07:41 AM ET
Seth's "certifiably insane" comment haunted him and VT as well**
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:02 PM ET
^^^^^ POTD ^^^^^**
HokieNL • 03/05/26 08:17 PM ET
James Johnson and Justin Fuente also get their share of mentions ◄
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 04:58 PM ET
True, but not of the type of fascination that Buzz engenders
HokieNL • 03/05/26 05:20 PM ET
Point being mentions aren't indicative of anything...**
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 05:23 PM ET
By themselves, I guess not...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 06:03 PM ET
Buzz's comments ..
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 06:37 PM ET
Retired Army guys like me, appreciate Buzz for
RunHokieRun • 03/06/26 08:59 AM ET
He wasn't concerned about paying respect. He was concerned about looking
VT_Consul • 03/06/26 10:44 AM ET
What if you found out the "concern" he has for the flag was performative?**
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:01 AM ET
i'm more appreciative of his tenure as time goes by
VermontDDS • 03/05/26 06:58 PM ET
He does get some. Fuente and Johnson get none...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 06:54 PM ET
Good points.
RJHokie • 03/05/26 07:04 PM ET
I'll add Kenny Brooks and Tom Brands as well to that list**
HokieBrazil • 03/05/26 05:20 PM ET
Kenny who????
Glen Allen Hokie • 03/05/26 10:41 PM ET
I knew what Kenny was along. He was bad in-game coach and he played faves
NokieHokie • 03/06/26 12:24 AM ET
Strack looked and played like Kitley last night in their W vs UGA. Wild
91HokieBob • 03/06/26 09:02 AM ET
Strack looks good! Pics inside...**
NokieHokie • 03/06/26 09:17 AM ET
Oh my....**
91HokieBob • 03/06/26 09:19 AM ET
When you "steal" a chick from another guy...
HokieNL • 03/06/26 12:53 AM ET
Nah... The fool is the VT fan who thought Kenny would never leave. Myopic.**
NokieHokie • 03/06/26 01:18 AM ET
Kinda what I was saying. 😊**
