It's his 32nd season coaching Virginia Tech football, and Bud Foster says there is only one thing missing from his storybook career: A "three-finger" national championship ring. "I want that gaudy piece of jewelry after everything we built here. I've wanted that for a long time." In fact, he wanted it for Frank [Beamer], his long-time coaching mentor and friend. "I coached with Frank his 29 years at Virginia Tech, plus six years at Murray State. He had the most impact on me outside of my family," Foster relates.

A few things I learned:

Bud Foster has a "Pura Vida" tattoo
