šŸ€ Tony Bennett Retires, Ron Sanchez to be Interim HC

Came here to say this one. Not sure Iā€™ve ever been so amped watching a regular season game. That was a tournament game. Told my wife after the win ā€œwe are going to the final four.ā€

Ok one more, and Iā€™ll shut up. Everyone remembers the stupid red truck story. (Yeah, I said. Stupid story. Donā€™t take care about your old beater truck, Joe. And it makes everyone forget the ACTUAL turnaround moment in the next gameā€¦)

The ā€œGo F*** yourself Okaro Whiteā€ game, but also thanks for motivating us to go on a 6 year run of awesomeness.

Yeah we were on the floor with our recently deceased dad for that game. Thatā€™s the one for me. Hearing the UVA chant pre-game in Greensboro was also a sound to behold.

UVA fans have always shown up in force at Greensboro.

Yā€™all remember Joe riding his dumbass truck if thatā€™s what yā€™all like.

Iā€™m gonna remember Akil taking on dumbass Okaro White in the handshake line post-JA totally unnecessary (but fun!) exclamation dunk, because Okaro had his feelings hurt. Cuz thatā€™s what I like! :joy:

Yep, and a good Harvard team that year, too. It was amazing, we went deep into the bench in the second half and Harvard still couldnā€™t score.

At VT 2015. Ugly game, down all night, then JA and Perrantes came alive. Featured a signature Perrantes to JA half court lob where JA swung from the rim like he was doing monkey bars. Also had some unreal shooting to close it

Reece hitting the game-winner at Duke was a big one for me. That game was close the whole way and it felt like we were going to come up short. And thenā€¦

On the topic of VT games in Cassell the 2017 beat down is up there for me. That was a good Vt team they absolutely destroyed. Wonā€™t discuss what happened when they came to JPJ

ā€œThe Virginia wayā€. Love that Ron Sanchez wants to continue the legacy of Tony Bennett. 8 Atlantic Coast conference championships and one national championship in 15 years is phenomenal.

@DavetheWave no highlights for the Okaro game, but hereā€™s a refresher for anyone who needs it:

Iā€™m rooting hard for Ron Sanchez. I think at the end of the day he is our guy and no one fits UVA better outside of TB
