Good post. I want VA to displace NC as the epicenter of ACC hoops, and that

can't happen without Bennett succeeding. And even though I might get evicted from this forum for saying this, I really like Bennett and what he has built. With that said, my first reaction to Forde's column was "click bait lazy journalism", but then again facts are facts: the list of post season upsets is...not pretty. But I think that reflects the nature of this sport. It's hard to consistently live up to high seedings. Which is why the NCAAT is so much fun.

Hello Hokies - as resident uva guy on board, here is my take.
wahoo2023 • 03/17/23 12:57 AM ET
You know, the sour naysayers on your board are right. Fire Bennett! 😉😂

Really good post, Tony like Frank Beamer built there teams on Defense first
Stech • 03/17/23 01:12 PM ET
I don't think our ACCT win or your NCAAT win were flukes.
Walkin` Willie • 03/17/23 12:23 PM ET
Don’t disagree-

There is a reason they call the NCAA tournament March Madness

Well you are entirely correct on what is said abt the Sabre

Read occasionally but was banned simply for being VT by Boardhost.

Appreciate the response. You are a solid contributor here for sure.
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 12:05 PM ET
Think they’ll only lose players to graduation.
wahoo2023 • 03/17/23 12:29 PM ET
I think TB could jettison Franklin and not miss a beat
GretnaHokie • 03/17/23 12:38 PM ET
I think the funniest thing on Clark is

Mutts is 24 (had to look it up)

UVA is lucky to have Bennett and a national championship. His critics
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/17/23 10:14 AM ET
Forde got an axe to grind because he trashed UVA in 2018 after the UMBC
jdkhokie • 03/17/23 10:08 AM ET
Appreciate your post BUT, reverse the situation y’all would be…
ombandit • 03/17/23 09:28 AM ET
No the sentiment is entirely fair
wahoo2023 • 03/17/23 12:00 PM ET
Nice post, if only that double dribble had been called a few years back **
santafe • 03/17/23 08:38 AM ET
I must say I dont understand the trash talk when we play pretty consistent
JACHokies • 03/17/23 08:19 AM ET
Good post**
BleedinOandM • 03/17/23 08:11 AM ET
Thanks for the post..... and fluke or not.... you raised the banner!
turkeywinghokie • 03/17/23 07:53 AM ET
The first two UVA acc tournament games were a thing of beauty.I felt this..
HOKIE75-79 • 03/17/23 07:43 AM ET
You are free to call the ACCT lucky if you want
extremehokie • 03/17/23 07:15 AM ET
So to clarify - said in a few posts elsewhere in thread
wahoo2023 • 03/17/23 12:08 PM ET
I was poking fun as well, but I have to
GCHokieof91 • 03/17/23 07:08 AM ET
All I have to say is "F the haters". I was one poking a bit of fun over
HeisenBurg13 • 03/17/23 06:51 AM ET
Bennett is a class act. A 1000x more likeable than Dean or Coach K
WildTurkE • 03/17/23 06:12 AM ET
Bennet's style of offense results in upsets once in a while
BigDaddyHokie • 03/17/23 09:53 AM ET
You have one of the top 5 coaches in the College game and a very good

There is always luck involved.
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/17/23 03:04 AM ET
By the way... are you Canadian? 'Hookies'?
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/17/23 01:12 AM ET
Not Canadian
wahoo2023 • 03/17/23 01:15 AM ET
I also don't like the "fluke" stuff. You are right in what you said there.
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/17/23 01:04 AM ET
I put K and Boeheim on a totally different list from Bennett.
