Someone Has Directed “BuzzWilliams.com” To The UVA Athletics Website

For some reason, Buzz Williams’ move from Marquette to Virginia Tech has resulted in a lot of internet-based confusion. Back when the Williams move occurred, Virginia Tech updated its website with a picture of the wrong former Marquette coach. Now, a prankster, who is presumably a Virginia fan, has redirected buzzwilliams.com to the Virginia Athletics website.

Mike Barber @RTD_MikeBarber  Ummm... if you type http://www.buzzwilliams.com , it takes you to the #UVA basketball site.

Mike Barber @RTD_MikeBarber  For the record, Buzz Williams' real site is http://coachbuzzwilliams.com . Wonder who bought http://buzzwilliams.com  and directed it to #UVA's site.

As Mike Barber points out, it isn’t a huge deal, since Williams’ actual website URL is different, but it certainly could get confusing for any recruits or fans looking to find out more about the new head of Hokies basketball.

Well played, Hoos fan. You are really embracing that ACC basketball school troll mindset well after last year’s conference title.
