Shaka Smart helps cut down the nets in 2011, when the VCU Rams became the Southwest Regional champions in San Antonio. Now he’s in the Lone Star State for a different reason — coaching the University of Texas men’s basketball team.

He’s gone, and you’re left to deal with it. Here are some local shops where you can take out your frustrations:

Zapatat: You thought your “Shaka 4 Life” tattoo meant just that. Well, it’s over. Time to clean the slate and move on.

University of Richmond bookstore: Sometimes when you feel betrayed by a love the best thing to do is rebound with their sworn rival. A new Richmond Spiders hoodie will keep you warm on those lonely March Madness nights.

Diversity Thrift: While the lawyers and marketing gurus argue over the rights to Havoc, it might be a good time to toss out that old branded gear before it becomes contraband. Or, if you’re a fan who’s sticking with it, head held high, you might find Shaka’s old stuff here.

Cuddle RVA: These friendly folks are professional huggers and consolers. They won’t judge you for your ugly cry face.

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery: When all else fails, go have a drink. Beer will never leave you — unless you break the seal.
