Is there a recorded version of this somewhere?

I think the Pierce article missed something important about the Centenniel that the event didn't: While the McGuire years were the apex, there have been many more glory years to honor and celebrate...and that is special. One losing coach since before Tex Winter. Astounding.

And Tex went on to some fame of his own with the Triangle offense in the NBA.

I edited to clarify..."since before Tex"...

Pierce is a Marquette grad and interacts with Paint Touches on basketball stuff regularly.

The fact that he is an unabashed, ornery liberal whose Esquire articles are a must-read makes him even better.

That Charles Pierce!?  I do love his writings for Esquire and didn't realize he was an MU grad also.

There are clips from each panel.

I wonder how Pierce feels about the new arena?? I wish he would have shone light on that topic.

Or it makes him an obnoxious blowhard who writes barely-readable drivel. Tomato, tomahto 

Liberals love him. Conservatives hate him.

Check.

Uhh...wow. So yeah...apparently Buzz Williams was so jealous of Marquette having a 100 year reunion for basketball, he decided to have one of his own.

Buzz is having his own "First Decade Reunion" in Blacksburg this weekend. Jae, Jimmy, and Junior are there, among others. They are posting under the #First1Decade hashtag on Twitter.

How full of himself is this guy?

At least he dressed up for it.

He said he'll never have anything with his name on it.. the "10 years" seems suspicious, ai'na? So did #buzzsbbq

Nonetheless, I think he touched some of these guys (nh) in very good ways, so I'm OK with it

I may be a lot like Buzz, in the right way, so I'm not upset.

Buzz connects with people as well as any coach in the business.

Good for Buzz, and guys like Jimmy, Jae, DJO, Junior et al.  It's great that he still embraces his MU players and incorporates them with VT (yuck).

It will be interesting to see how long Buzz stays at VT.  He definitely floated his name with Ohio State several weeks ago.  I wonder if VT will get tired of his personality as well, as some clearly did at MU.  He is a heck of a coach, one with a drive and work ethic that rivals any other.  However, that can quality can get real old real fast - especially in a down year.  I wouldn't be shocked to see Buzz there another 2-3 years, and then decide to move on to one last job in the Texas/Oklahoma region.  Heck, Kruger won't be at OU forever.

Anyone whose lips have had as much contact with others' buttocks as his would be considered good at "connecting" with people.
