Richmond-Times Dispatch reporter Mike Barber published an intriguing column on Buzz Williams and the recently completed Cassell Coliseum renovations this morning, but one quote in particular stood out.
Of course, arguably the Hokies' biggest game of the season won't be played at Cassell. Tech is scheduled to play at Kentucky at its fabled Rupp Arena on Dec. 16.
Williams' team had an opening on its schedule, and he and director of scouting Jeff Reynolds, who handles scheduling, discussed what direction to go.
"I came back to him and said, I want to play the best team in the country. Who is that?" Williams said. "I'll call Sean Miller, I'll call (Steve) Alford. I'll call (John Calipari). Who else might be the best team?"
Williams said Calipari worked with Tech to make the game fit on the Wildcats' calendar.
"I just didn't want to make a wrong choice," Williams said. "And I don't think playing at Kentucky is ever a wrong choice."
As someone who was blessed to attend Tech during the heart of the James Johnson era, this quote really gets the blood flowing. While it may feel like football season down in Blacksburg, this was a nice Sunday-morning reminder that we've got something to look forward to in Cassell this winter.
