I wish for nothing but success for our basketball program.

Honestly, no bitterness or rage. I think people really misinterpret the tone or emotion behind written posts A LOT. I just think our basketball program is very middle of the road, historically has been, and will likely continue to be. I’m not angry about that. I don’t blame MY for it. It just is what it is. GC working so hard to defend MY by comparing him to BW is entertaining because it’s a bit like arguing who is the tallest midget in the room. Like, who cares? Our program is middling. It always will be — so who cares if MY can recruit as well as BW. Neither are elite coaches or going to produce elite outcomes. I say this with amused indifference, not rage or bitterness.

VT’s recent basketball history is peppered

Relevance is subjective

Maybe but won't dampen my love for Hokie basketball **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/05/24 02:27 PM ET
Bitter much?

Agree, but I think your assessment of the coaches is a bit misplaced
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/05/24 12:20 PM ET
In MY's defense, things aren't the same now. **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/05/24 10:26 PM ET
I mean things have changed (for the better) over the last 20 plus years…
GoldCoast • 07/05/24 09:44 PM ET
Totally off base; VT's '73 win over ND at MSG was relevant; The Cassell
SCHokie80 • 07/05/24 08:01 AM ET
I think your definition of relevant is a little altered
1947Sunbowl • 07/05/24 08:01 AM ET
I’m not sure that finding 5 highlights from the past
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:07 AM ET
If you’re on ESPN “Big Monday” once or twice a year
hokiepro • 07/05/24 09:46 AM ET
Don’t set the bar too high! lol. **
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:50 AM ET
"Relevance" is what to whom? Serious question. No comparisons for reference
TomTurkey • 07/05/24 09:40 AM ET
To me, a regular top 25 team
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:49 AM ET
And an occasional run at the ACCT crown. National/conf. relevance, resp.
TomTurkey • 07/05/24 10:02 AM ET
The big picture, The program IS not the dregs of the earth
1947Sunbowl • 07/05/24 09:34 AM ET
I’m not advocating for discontinuing the basketball program **
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:37 AM ET
I think your definition of relevant is way too strict.**
BleedinOandM • 07/05/24 07:44 AM ET
Big time feelings hurt...
GCHokie34 • 07/04/24 11:43 PM ET
Reminds me of the Briefcase sketch

It’s smart of you to deflect from the topic and try to make it about
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 08:58 AM ET
I have never said Buzz's S16 run was the same as MYs NCAAT record at VT
GCHokie34 • 07/05/24 09:14 AM ET
Actually you have repeatedly mocked/discounted wins over St. Louis/Liberty
catdaddy • 07/05/24 11:14 AM ET
I have said the Sweet 16 is equally as good as the ACCT Championship...
GCHokie34 • 07/05/24 06:55 PM ET
Woah, GLHokie34.. I see the same pattern starting from your VT Scoop board
catdaddy • 07/05/24 08:40 PM ET
You just said as much......
2hhoop3 • 07/06/24 02:45 PM ET
Saying the "lightning in a bottle" mantra is absolutely inferring a fluke..
GCHokie34 • 07/06/24 02:39 PM ET
Yes, he changes the narrative and facts often. **
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 12:39 PM ET
Search Function is your friend. Sounds awfully familiar to some takes
HokieRat • 07/05/24 04:31 PM ET
He didn't define mediocrity therein. He asked which, if any, point does.
TomTurkey • 07/06/24 03:00 PM ET
Its inferring as such. Just as if we infer catching lightening in a bottle
HokieRat • 07/06/24 05:25 PM ET
You're the one doing the inferring here...
GCHokie34 • 07/07/24 11:49 AM ET
lol. That’s awesome. **
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 11:35 PM ET
What exactly do you think this proves?**
GCHokie34 • 07/05/24 06:25 PM ET
Provide actual evidence I've done so or crawl back in your hole...**
GCHokie34 • 07/05/24 03:12 PM ET
Understatement of the year.**
Stork • 07/05/24 01:01 PM ET
Nice little circle yall got there...**
GCHokie34 • 07/05/24 03:11 PM ET
So excellent recruiter. Excellent coach.
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:47 AM ET
Then we are in good company with the hundreds of other programs that aren’t
jms41 • 07/04/24 09:46 PM ET
Yes, that’s what it means to not be relevant.
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:08 AM ET
Mute really isn't enough for posts like this. Fortunately, they are few and
ancient alien 2018 • 07/04/24 08:31 PM ET
We were very relevant in 1973 and 2018 or whenever we made Sweet 16
hokiepro • 07/04/24 08:13 PM ET
Two instances in 50 years doesn’t really scream “relevance “
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:10 AM ET
Elite 8
vtpw • 07/05/24 09:04 AM ET
The gurus who love MY and hate Buzz
Pride_and_Joy • 07/04/24 11:15 PM ET
On the other hand, MY got lucky in his ACC run to other folks
HokiesACC2004 • 07/05/24 02:29 PM ET
I don’t care who we beat, we were in the Sweet 16**
Hokie`79 • 07/05/24 06:01 AM ET
Came about1 foot from beating Duke**
TomTurkey • 07/05/24 07:40 PM ET
I agree. But we’re told that
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 08:54 AM ET
Both teams we beat were good enough teams to make the NCAAT.**
NC Hoke • 07/05/24 05:29 AM ET
Who cares? We’ve never been a relevant basketball program and never will be
YBYSAIAHokie • 07/04/24 08:03 PM ET
Because they don't care about being a relevant basketball program...
GCHokie34 • 07/04/24 11:54 PM ET
Yeah, the argument that VT is mediocre
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/24 09:05 AM ET
I suggest you change your name... you exhibit neither pride nor joy.
132678Hokie • 07/05/24 09:35 AM ET
"Uninformed Troll" would be a good name change for him/her.**
ancient alien 2018 • 07/05/24 09:05 PM ET
Obsessive would be a better sign on**
Femoyer74 • 07/05/24 10:54 AM ET
Spot on!!**
