Hiroshima?

[mixINaWILSON]

Go ahead and sticky my prediction.  Announcement comes Monday.

Any y'all trackin' aircraft activity between MKE and BCB?

The ACC "is a major B-ball conference"? This is why we pay you the big bucks.  Virginia Tech has the same future in the new ACC that Rutgers and Maryland will have in the Big 10- they won't be competitive. Why would any successful rational coach want that kind of a "challenge"?

Listen, I just threw out some facts about VaTech because some mentioned it as if it was a dirt pile.  It is not.

Yes, the ACC is a major B-ball conference, above what the new BE is and is going to be in future.

Maybe it's not about money.  Buzz probably has enough in bank now to last him and his family a lifetime and if VT is willing to give a new coach lets say, 2M ay ear for five years, thats 10M more in the bank.

And yes, there are coaches who are unhappy in current position and do like a challenges.  Has nothing to do with being rational or not.  Buzz is a different sort, so who knows what his priorities are right now.  

Again, not an argument over Buzz, but VT is not that bad a place.

Where's VT18?  He'll clear this all up.

But, they've had random snipers, aina?

But MU had Dahmer. 

[Knight Commission]

So if it's Monday does that give Cords enough time to lock up Chew?  Or will he hire an agency to conduct a nationwide search?

Man, don't go there.  Alot kids lost their lives.  Jeez.....

[willie warrior]

I think you're correct Chicos.  Just putting it out there that the perspective of too many "fans" is way to short (as in a few weeks, is my guess).  I guess I am disappointed and have been for much of the season in the reaction of the "fans."  Buzz bought a lot of leeway in my book, based upon what he has done at MU.

Expectations, for me, really don't factor into it a lot.  Kind of like polls for elections.  If the expectations are wrong, they are just wrong.  Reality is what counts, as you know. Many of us knew what we had at the 1 and 2 positions going in and the issues.  If one's expectations were wrong, then obviously they must adjust to reality, not the other way around.

Instead of being disappointed at the fans, maybe you should be disappointed at your idol, who did a poor job coaching this year.

[SWARM!]

Any y'all trackin' aircraft activity between MKE and BCB?

Yup. More or less.

[Marqus Howard]

If Buzz does leave, I think there is a much better chance of Wardle being hired than Chew.

Not on specifically on the topic, but our conference is weak and think it will be a difficult to become a year in and year tier one conference. BE helped launch us to new heights and NBE might have opposite affect in the long haul.

[4everwarriors]

C'mon man, is that where y'all are settin' your sights on, stiffs like Wardle and Chew?

[Goose]

If Brian Wardle was next coach that means the towel was thrown in. He is not ready for prime time and may never be ready for it.

I agree, but Broeker likes him a lot.

[Wojo'sMojo]

I would prefer Chew...Seems like all the players really like him and he would probably keep most of the young talent around.

Yes.  Teams have lots of personnel losses next year and some on the top will soon be some on the bottom.  Believe everyone misses UCONN, Cuse, PITT, Loserville, ND, Cincy.  Shame.  The ACC is much better.  

[MUfan12]

I agree, but Broeker likes him a lot.

It won't be his hire.

Have to get an established coach. Chew isn't at that level, neither is Wardle.

[Goose]

First of all Buzz is still here...but, Brian Wardle has no business even being discussed in same conversation as MU basketball head coach.

[willie warrior]

W/Chris moving on, I don't know that Buzz has a particular fondness for any returnees that I had in previous years. Might make taking another job easier. Although, if he left after this year with a roster in flux and so many question marks, it wouldn't sit well.

"any particular fondness"? Did you just wake up? What do you call the love woody Buzz has for Derrick?

Exactly why I was not doing cartwheels on Wisconsin Ave when NBE was being discussed. Too many had short term view of the teams involved and did not look down the road. Under best conditions these group of schools can be decent conference...that is best it can be. Just waiting for someone to jump on the SLU to NBE bandwagon because they won a NCAA game again this season.

[willie warrior]

Sure strange analysis. Wardle is not ready for prime time, but the hire of Buzz was?

[Goose]

Willie

Apples and oranges. Wardle is definitely not upper D1 ready and Buzz was probably not upper D1 ready. Picking Chew would be apples to apples in Buzz comparison. I can assure that Wardle will not be mentioned for ANY upper D1 jobs this year or anytime in future. Chew has a shot at guys looking at him at mid level jobs, and UWGB is not mid level.

[Eldon]

Monday

Care to elaborate?

[Marqus Howard]

I think Virginia Tech is a step down for Buzz, but for what it's worth, Paint Touches tweeted that they are hearing he has a lot of interest in the job. Usually Strotty and Andrei are well connected and that's what makes me nervous.
