You do realize him filming that means nothing right?? I mean until you are officially announced somewhere else, you are still the Coach at your current institution and have the same obligations as you have always had.

Someone should have reminded Buzz this back in 2013 if true.

[Jockey]

He was already hiding in the Michigan City, IN bunker knowing him, Markus, and Bailey were gowne.

Was that the famous Kimmy Schmidt bunker?

Quite a bit of smoke about Wojo to Virginia Tech last 24 hours.  Unfortunate if this true.  Starting over again is not my idea of moving forward and making progress when we are already making progress with the current staff.

I was burning leaves yesterday. Smoke everywhere.

What more proof do you deniers want?

[Bocephys]

1. Not true. If MU knew he was leaving he wouldn't be filming anything. Nor should he.

2. My main point is he was in Milwaukee. Not anywhere else. Which disproves all of the "flight tracka" stuff.

What shorts and lapel pins was her wearing during the filming?

[Uncle Rico]

Anyone tracking flights from Peoria to Milwaukee?

[Dr. Blackheart]

Anyone tracking flights from Peoria to Milwaukee?

No but we are tracking them from Centrallia to Whiting.

[WindyCityGoldenEagle]

Anyone tracking flights from Peoria to Milwaukee?

I’m all over the Peoria Greyhound bus schedule.

[Loose Cannon]

He easily could've hopped on the flight back to milwaukee after the flight to gary dropped off his family. I mean come on that's only logical

Can we please get Chief Inspector Clouseau on this already.

This is why I Scoop.

Well,  Marquette is in Michigan, which is close to Gary

Milwaukee is slightly closer to Gary than Marquette, MI.

Maybe Wojo is looking for the next Glenn Robinson, perhaps Gary's most famous, non-disgraced citizen.

Gary has a lot going for it:

• It's become a much more exclusive community -- with its population falling by half over the past 60 years.
• Closing 22 schools since since 2007 has led to more efficient government.
• Former chief of police Thomas Houston felt so strongly about his job that he was convicted of excessive force and abuse of authority.
• The city's per capita income is nearly $15,000.
• Almost 75% of the population lives above the poverty line.
• In 2018, Gary ranked 3rd nationwide for its murder rate.
• Gary is an increasingly affordable place to live, with home values declining 3.9% over the past year and median rent less than half of the Chicago metro area.

Who wouldn't want to travel there?

The music man certainly made it sound like an attractive place to be

Full disclosure; this may just be sour grapes on my part, but I really don't think that the VT job is all that great (Seth Greenberg wasn't exactly tearing it up at South Florida when he got the call).  I think they got lucky that it was open right when Buzz wanted out and was willing to go to any "major" conference.  I don't think Wojo would take it, I don't think Willard would take it.  Same with Marshall, Cronin, or Dixon.  I think they'll run through a bunch of big names, get shot down, and then turn to either a mid major, or someone who's been out of the game for a while. What jobs has Mike Young (Wofford) turned down over the years?  They could also do a lot worse than throwing a bunch of money at a Thad Matta, or JTIII and seeing if it sticks. 

[muwarrior69]

I just can't imagine Wojo wanting to be known as the guy that takes the jobs  Buzz Williams doesn't want anymore.

...but then he'll get the A&M job when Buzz heads to Duke!

Most people close to Buzz Williams anticipate he will wrap things up with Texas A&M prior to this weekend (Thursday is the day I’ve been told). But with Buzz, honestly, you never know.

And that's why you don't need multiple threads on the same basic topic 🤦‍♂️

[NickelDimer]

And that’s why you always leave a note!

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I worked a college fair last night and I was next to UMBC.  The UMBC Admissions rep was a recent VT grad and VT basketball fan.  He said he heard Buzz was gone to TAMU and that UMBC's coach was one of the top targets.

Interestingly, UMBC has the Flutie Effect going on after 2018's Cinderella win.

It used to have the portal to hell too

And here I thought Sunnydale and Cleveland were the only cities with a Hellmouth.

Ryan Odom was a longtime assistant at VaTech under Seth Greenberg.

While the timing is not ideal we’d have to let it play out before knowing whether this was a set back or a blessing in disguise. There are upgrades to Wojo in terms of ability to coach.

That may be true, but an opinion at best.  There are upgrades to everyone if push were to come to shove.  Whether Marquette could do better and have them stick around is another matter.

[WarriorDad]

Correct. There’s literally no smoke other than some guy going off the rails tracking flights across the midwest. And the VT fans are playing a game of telephone and somehow coming to the conclusion that Wojo to VT is a #donedeal

This was one among a number of others, could all be sourced from the same story.  Or another fan that knows nothing.

Duke basketball report had a snippet today, too.
