Is SEC Talking to Virginia Tech?
Yesterday, in his daily update on the demise of the ACC, The Dude of WV dropped this little gem as his last line.
Virginia Tech is actively talking with the SEC despite the protestations of Frank Beamer.
[The Dude of WV on WVU]
My understanding is that talks are contingent upon FSU leaving for the Big 12. If that happens look for the SEC and VPI to reach an agreement. North...

After two failed attempts, Frank Beamer is giving the restaurant business one more shot
Coming off a disappointing 20-23 Sugar Bowl loss to Michigan, Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer wants to shelve football momentarily and focus on the culinary arts. This summer, Coach Beamer anticipates opening his new restaurant, Beamer’s 25, in Roanoke, Virginia, anchored next to the newly renovated apartments in the Lofts at West Station. A soft opening was held on Wednesday...

In Sugar Bowl loss and season, it’s the same old story for Virginia Tech.
When you’re Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech, the standards are different for you from the rest of the ACC. The Hokies have been the ACC’s top program since expansion. There is no debate about that… None. Again the Hokies won 10 or more games, and again the Hokies went to the ACC Title game. That’s 5 ACCCG appearances in 7 years, but here’s the part that...

Beamer making no apologies for Sugar Bowl date
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer is offering no apologies for the No. 17 Hokies date in the Sugar Bowl against Michigan.
The Hokies will play the No. 13 Wolverines on Jan. 3 in Louisiana after the selection committee chose them over No. 8 Boise State and No. 11 Kansas State.
Beamer says the Hokies (11-2) have won more games than anyone at the Bowl Subdivision level since 1995,...

BCS Sugar Bowl Offer Worst At-Large Matchup in Series History
Regardless of whether you not you support a rematch between #1 LSU and #2 Alabama, the BCS achieved its primary goal. The best two teams in the nation are about to square off for the National Championship. There is room for debate over Alabama’s inclusion in the title game; did Oklahoma State do enough to warrant a chance at the Tigers? Perhaps so, but from a pure football...

BCS Sugar Bowl: Frank Beamer, The BCS, and The Wu-Tang Clan—Yes, The Wu-Tang Clan
Can someone please explain to me how the Virginia Tech Hokies managed to make it into the Sugar Bowl? I'm sorry, a team that gets pasted by the same team twice shouldn't have the opportunity to play in a BCS game of this caliber and the fact that they are is a joke—and not a funny one.
I don't give a damn if Virginia Tech and Clemson were "just a bad match...

Hokies aim for supreme heights in ACC title game
Frank Beamer and the Virginia Tech Hokies are playing for the ACC championship in football this weekend, which isnt exactly a news flash anymore.
The Hokies have basically made the host stadium for this event their own annual personal playhouse since joining the ACC. If they defeat Clemson at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday night, it will mark the programs fifth...

Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech: An incredible run of consistency
Thursday night Virginia Tech defeated North Carolina 24-21. It marked the 8th straight season the Hokies have won 10 games or more. You have to go back to 1992 to find the last time Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech didn’t have a winning season. In the last 8 years the Hokies have not finished outside the top 20 either. It’s not quite the stuff of the late 80s-90s Florida...

VIDEO: Female Reporter Disses Frank Beamer After Big Win
Okay, maybe it's just me, but it certainly looks as if the female reporter, in this clip from Virginia Tech's post-game win over North Carolina Thursday night, win number 250 for Frank Beamer, gives the legendary head coach the brush-off. Take a look and judge for yourself: I don't know about you, but where I'm from that thing she did is called a "diss"...
