Good call.   You believe everything Chicos says. 

[MU82]

guru:

The point of most of the last several pages of discussion wasn't whether one likes other sports more or less than football or one likes to do other things on the weekend besides watching football.

You didn't say: "Football is the best. Everything else is inferior."

What you said was: "It's the wussification of America in full effect. Also, kids these days don't want to work real hard..football you do."

In other words, every parent who doesn't want his/her son playing football -- a group that includes MANY former NFL and college players -- is a wussy who is out to wussify America.

And in other words, football players work harder than athletes in every other sport.

It was a dopey thing to say, and I think you realize it but your pride won't let you own up to it.

Disclosure: I hate soccer, and I love football. I would NEVER watch a soccer game on TV, and I do watch pro football pretty much every Sunday during the NFL season (and many Monday and Thursday nights, too). But I know enough about soccer, lacrosse, water polo, basketball, swimming, tennis, gymnastics, hockey, etc etc etc, to know that those who are serious about it work every bit as hard as those who are serious about football. And most of those sports are just as physically intense as football.

Sidenote: when someone asked guru if he played football, he responded Yes. And added that he played additional sports including baseball. Another poster then made fun of baseball for it's lack of contact, etc. Guru then edited his post, deleting any reference that he played other sports.

What a snowflake.

Because the topic was about football, i didn't see how me playing baseball or basketball was relevant to the topic, so I went back and edited it. I am far from a snowflake, but you sure do play internet tough guy a lot, calling names etc, behind a computer. I'm guessing you probably never played football...or any sport at all, that would be my guess. Or you tried out and weren't good enough so you quit or got cut.

What is your f*n problem with everything I post anyway?? All you ever do is attack my posts or attack me. If that makes you feel better about yourself, by all means, have at it.

Now go get on your Schwinn with the little basket, and the bell, and pedal out of here. Don't forget your helmet!

So, based on the popularity of this thread, I'm guessing Raleigh Talk Radio is something we've been neglecting for far too long...

Just looking back at what buzz has accomplished, going from, who/what the heck is a buzz to continuing to show the swear finger to anyone who doubts him. He's going to his 2nd "football" school and you watch-even if you don't like basketball, you are going to have to watch this guy in action. Like Rick Majerus, we were too dumb to know what we had.  Or, the people in charge of calling the shots are in over their pay grade and no one has the gonads to tell them to stfu and stick to keeping the petting zoos stocked with a variety of warm and fuzzies, the crayolas sharp and the playdoh soft. 

Wojo does not coach the way he played nor did he absorb as much as I thought he did, sitting next to coach sheshefski...next

If we can't get at least mc to come here, I think we should fire those in charge of evaluating and making any decisions remotely involved with our basketball program.  Yes, those that probably are offended by anything not named after a color

[brewcity77]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker declared for the draft last night. So here's what Buzz leaves in his wake...

Graduated: Justin Robinson, Ahmed Hill, Ty Outlaw

Transferred: Chris Clarke, Wabissa Bede

Declared: Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Undecided: Kerry Blackshear

Their top recruit also backed out of his commitment. They return two players that saw relatively meaningful action, though zero that averaged 15 mpg or 5 ppg. For the moment, Mike Young comes into a team that has 1 freshman & 1 sophomore that played, then a handful of freshmen that didn't play & maybe 3 recruits (if they stick). Obviously Blackshear could still come back, but that team will likely be one of the worst high-major teams in the country next year. Buzz sure does know how to rip out the keystone on his way out the door.

[StillAWarrior]

I actually feel sorry for the VT fans.  They were in the right place at the right time when they picked up Buzz.  He was a way better and more accomplished coach that they typically hire -- an absolute home run for them.  Unfortunately, they believed that was their new normal.  They had such high, but unrealistic expectations, but this is about what I think most outsiders would have expected for them.  I hope Young comes in and does a great job for them.

My nephew.  Happy to share any number of 500 photos of him with me, my wife and kids...Christmas, funerals, at Patriots game, Disneyland, etc. 

My niece, also played there.  She was injured and had to retire from the sport

Thank you to Rocket for quoting you as I have you on ignore, but it is always nice destroying your nonsense.  Now, if you would like high school photos of me playing football and soccer, that will take some time....though I'm fairly certain my mom has articles from the period as she used to scrapbook stuff.  Maybe when I fly up to see her next week I'll ask. 

Have a pleasant day.

FWIW, here's a guy who thinks Young was a "great hire" for VT:

I don't know enough about Young to agree or disagree. I do know that it will take very hard work, quite some time and considerable luck to succeed there.

So we want to fire a guy because he hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game in his first 5 years as a head coach to hire a guy who has 6 NCAA Tournament wins and 1 Sweet 16 appearance in his 16 years as a head coach?  And watch our team struggle to break 60 points once we get into January and beyond?

Reasonable.

just saying...as the talk re: wojo, if he be gowne, who is out there to replace him?  whether or not he is fired, is not up to me and we could all bloviate the sheet out of this.  i like wojo and as i've said to many, i hoped he would succeed for all of the obvious.  i thought he would be the type of guy that could make MU his duke.  but the last 5-6 games of this past year took the steam out of me.  when one invests as much emotionally in a team to see them go down in flames was too much.  especially with the talent that we have

from what I've been told, albeit second hand so it may not be 100% accurate, MU didn't run off Rick, it was Rick who couldn't deal with the immense pressure of coaching in his hometown at his alma mater. Longtime friends were turning on him because of MU's failure to make the NCAA tournament during his time.  That's why he got out, for his own wellbeing.

Buzz, well, it was best for both parties that the relationship came to an end.

So, you have no idea if wojo can turn MU into his Duke (or Nova or Gonzaga, etc) but you'd want to get rid of him because of a 6 game stretch during 1 season.

Seems like a bit of an overreaction. But maybe I'm just more patient.

  yes, cuz of the talent he has and if he can't pull us out of a tailspin at the end of the season in his 4th year...just getting tired of the up down up down up...he was a defensive stalwart in college.  nothing to give your guys?  what more of a motivational speech do ya need to give your guys before big home game, senior day, packed house ready to explode after nova just handed you the BE title...against that Juggernaut georetown
