Dirtbag West Virginia Students

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Yeah, even the ESPN folks thought he crossed the line.  But they showed Buzz saying it was his fault, so it evens out.

Who cares. He was caught up the moment. Let the guy have his moment. And Linda Cohn is an idiot.

[96warrior]

Honestly think it was more about the elation of winning that game than it was an F you to the fans. Go Buzz!

Having said that...hope the dancing doesn't happen again. Not a favorite Buzz moment but good that he acknowledged HR got caught up in the moment, and who can blame him?? 4 players suspended and we still win. Jae making a real case for BE POY. First win in Morgantown. Big night for the program.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Most of the fans were gone. It's not like Buzz was dancing after the horn sounded.

[Dawson Rental]

for those with more knowledge... was that an Al Maguire-esque thing to do?

No.  Al was not a dancer, even on the sidelines.  He wasn't one to goad the opposing student section, the referees usually had his undivided attention.

Keep Dancin' Buzzy...all thru March I hope 

[avid1010]

put me on the side that thought it was just fine.  the game was over, players were off the court, and he was walking over to do and interview and heard a good tune so he did a two-step.  the only problem was the fans were still there, and it was obvious they were staying to give him crap one way or another.  to compare what buzz did to what TO did is just plain stupid.  the situations, time, and purpose couldn't be more different.

Al on the scorer's table in 1974 after Maurice Lucas buried a buzzer beater against Wisconsin. Buzz's two step is a fart in the wind compared to Al on the scorer's table.

Ummmm, that game was at home.

Could not disagree more.  Al, dancing on the table, Buzz dancing on the WVU logo ... Love it all.  Buzz is who Buzz is.  Don't want to see him change one thing.

Really? did you ever see him coach against ND????

[Litehouse]

Wait...  "Dirtbag" and "West Virginia Students",  isn't that redundant?

Yeah, eff it...keep on dancing! (no teal, genuinely changed my mind)

And still don't think it was about WVA students or the team, really think it was standard Buzz emotions running high and was about him being proud of his guys...and that I do love.

[jesmu84]

He also had just finished a long emotional embrace with jae. probably wasn't thinking about anything really - just happy

[Dr. Blackheart]

Friggin Digger cut down the nets at MU.  Let's see his reaction tomorrow

[MUMac]

Buzz on the 2nd version of Sportscenter.  WVU fans will still not be happy, though 90% may not understand what he said, but he was contrite and apologized.  Still loved it.  It was Buzz and I love Buzz's energy and emotion!!

[Fullodds]

It was an act of emotion, not meant to be hurtful.  He apologized.  End of story.  WV should be worried about whether they get to host an NIT game this year.  I could not pick a better school, team, coach and State to leave the Big East. 

[RubyWiscy]

Buzz is having fun. He is like a little kid who just get a cool present. More than a comeback win, a new record 13 Big East victories. Locked up double buy in BE tournament. Top 10 team. Maintained integrity in disciplining players and still won. Plenty to dance about. Buzz earned the right tonight.

Great video of the reaction of the students. Can anyone tell me what one of the students throws at Raftery near the 14 second mark? Looks like a pillow but I have no idea.

Almost looks like a pair of old lady bloomers!

Was Buzz wearing Bad Idea Jeans tonight?

"I didn't use a condom. I mean, when am I ever going to be in Haiti again?"

[77ncaachamps]

It's amazing to me how fans, particularly students, think they can say anything they want to players/coaches (horrible, horrible, things) and they flip out when they get any crap back at them.  frack West Virginia, they're leaving the Big East.

This

Did they expect him to say, "im gonna have some drinks and drive back to the hotel"?!?

[4everwarriors]

If it was any other BE venue, even if it was in Madison, I'd want him to tone it down.  But in the trailer park, against the hillbilly fans, the school that *had* to get out next year so they can begin traveling to schools in Texas that don't care enough about playing them to despise them...I wish he'd have taken the team and done a line dance.

I'd pay to see a Rockette style leg kick. Probably pee myself watchin' Gardner.

[4everwarriors]

for those with more knowledge... was that an Al Maguire-esque thing to do?

Nah, Al woulda dropped his drawers, bent over, and blown the student section a kiss.

Al standing on the table was at the Arena, his home turf.
