Wake coach Steve Forbes was hospitalized for six days earlier this summer
according to an article in today’s paper (Winston Salem). Coach MY got a mention in said article:
“He drove down from Blacksburg on a Saturday, and I was not doing good,” Forbes said. “And he came and sat with me for two hours. And so, he's a really good friend.”

were walking to the locker rooms together and chatting as they went. Clearly good friends. I think that is a very rare thing, even among coaches that are friendly.

that reminded how highly I think of him as a coach and as a person and as a lover of his school. I'm not an insider, but it seems that he hasn't been handed the deepest pool of resources to work with, and he's had a bit of bad luck (including close losses last season), but I admire him and believe that he is a very worthy representative of the school.

Amazing what he did in the portal for 2026-27 honestly

Even so, I will enjoy this team more than last year’s version.

Kinda where we live
I HOPE we will be better because we’re not trying to massage a so called 5 star’s ego who was soft as tissue paper mentally

I am secretly hoping that CMY can pull a rabbit out of this hat. But, if we are honest, those will be long odds.

the current circumstances. Until VT is prepared to actually fund a competitive ACC team, we should be happy with someone who 1) isn’t going to do anything stupid, 2) represents the school positively, and 3) will likely put the best product possible on the floor.
