Who cares I think we are in a far better situation long term.

We already have the 4th best class we've ever had, he's not even done with this class.

This is a grand slam hire!

What exactly is there for "sunshine pumpers" to admit being wrong about?

Even if you didnt like him, keeping him around while he was winning got us out from under him for free.

I'm gonna go with the 'promises' that he'd take us deep into the tournament.

Or maybe the one about A&M being his dream job and he'd never leave?

I wish the haters and "pumpers" would keep track of each other better. Who was on here saying it was his dream job and he'd never leave?

How long into the season will we have to go before the Buzz haters stop talking about him?

Which season?


Can we post updates from the Maryland boards?

Just kidding I was complimentary things could've not worked out better for both parties. He ran a clean program and the kids graduated and learned how to change a flat tire.

Can we agree to drop hate I don't think any people hated Buzz I think the correct wording would be frustrating. That's all I'm gonna say about it, he left on his own and parted ways on good terms.

Nah, there were definitely several haters who only showed up here when we were losing. Normally there's like a balance but there were definitely more ridiculous haters than over the top "pumpers" like BuzzFan24.

There's an extremely large range of perfectly logical Buzz takes, but whether it was claiming we sucked because Buzz went woke or whatever there were several absurd haters that only show up on here occasionally.

I also think it's true throughout his career that he gets players to commit to him and not necessarily the school he's coaching at. No surprise that he was recruiting kids for himself even while he was our coach, and that really doesn't bother me, in my opinion that's just college sports.

The greatest coach in the history of basketball - Geno Auriemma stated something similar to his philosophy. The kids don't care about the logo on the jersey at all. It's about the "sisterhood". So if Buzz's style mirrors Geno's he can't be but so much of an idiot.

I appreciate Buzz for the run we had and the group of core players that we had through it (Wade, Hank, Andy, Solo, etc.). But I was also tired of the press conferences, unnecessary losing streaks, and the brutal style of offensive basketball we played. Both things can be true.

I also think it's true throughout his career that he gets players to commit to him and not necessarily the school he's coaching at. No surprise that he was recruiting kids for himself even while he was our coach, and that really doesn't bother me, in my opinion that's just college sports.

In general I'll look back at the Buzz years in a positive light, but also really excited for the breath of fresh air that we're gonna see in a few days. It was time for a change, and message board hate for Buzz afterwards isn't necessary.

Anyway, that's my last break up post. Ready for Bucky Ball brought to you by Bucee's.

So true here. Much enjoyment watching some of this group, especially Hank and Andy. Glad I was able to witness the way they embraced Aggieland!!!
The 23 team is one of my all time favorite teams. They were all but buried going 7-5 in non-conference and clawed their way all the way back. Still bugs me they ran into a truly historic shooting performance in the tournament

lol wut? He did really really well here. But his run was up and he got a lifeline


No he didn't do "really, really well" here

He won TWO NCAA tournament games in SIX seasons

His 3 tournament appearances are pretty good for A&M standards, but that's not saying much

Buzz was "pretty good" here, not great or "really, really good" by a long shot

Hopefully the next guy wins more and bloviates less

He didnt do well. He was top ten in comp for all ncas coaches his entire tenure and never made it to the second weekend of the tourney.

If you like paying top ten coin with nothing better than a top 25 finish then yeah I guess he was successful.

LOL. I like him telling the story like he hadn't made the decision to leave while holding the MOU. Dude was gone the second that Maryland offered.

But I'm not sure what Buzz could have done differently in that scenario. Just poor timing all around.

They would have hit the portal anyway.

BCG > Turge > Buzz > BK > Melvin

Pretty good > sux

Buckyball - I don't know how well it will work in the SEC. Maybe as far as Mgbako can take us. TN, the rest of the league are going to be Physical.
