What's this?

I guess you don't remember that moment.

The ACC Championship is the most amazing thing ever. Yes. Banchero is incredible.

You asked about one play. He wasn't just jumping over Paulus. He was jumping over Coach K. He was jumping over Sean Dockery's half court shot. He was jumping over the 22 fouls and 49 FT's Duke shot in our first game in Cameron Indoor. He was jumping over every huge win that had eluded VT for 20+ years. He was jumping over Bill Brill. He was jumping over the Atlantic 10. He was jumping over the Big East's forced servitude to be admitted as a basketball member. He was jumping over zero NCAA tournaments in over a decade.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just sentimental, but that play told me we were getting that win and this was going to be the year it all finally changed.

Deron's teabag vs Mutt's saddlebag -- 1980VT 03/15/2022 06:18AM

But Deron actually did it 2x in that one game; the 2nd time is the 1 shown ** -- Bmackattack 03/15/2022 12:18PM

It may be recency bias, but I'll take the Mutts dunk. The Washington dunk -- reestuart 03/15/2022 10:42AM

Deron's over Paulus wasn't really even a dunk, either. Not by Deron's... -- Strat Man 03/15/2022 11:00AM

Deron’s was way more impressive, also a way better poster -- soflahokie 03/15/2022 08:53AM

Oh come on. Deron. For many reasons. -- hokieZ71 03/15/2022 08:14AM

Agreed. And the Deron dunk spawned it's own chant. LOL ** -- Hokie Rebel 03/15/2022 12:41PM
