Haha, what was the bet again? A Greenberg coached Virginia Tech team will never make the tournament again? I think we were under the assumption he would actually get a chance to however. But yeah, ya got me. Originally Posted by Hubman

Where to begin? Number one, I hate "articles" that are just six paragraphs long. That's almost as bad as Twitter. If you're only writing six paragraphs, then you're trying to (a) get some information out --not the case here; or (b) get a rise out of people -- bingo. Originally Posted by bfloyd89
