Bud Foster Appreciation Day

"Bud Foster is a terrible coach." Somebody actually said that to me Saturday night at a friend's get together. I wear my Hokies gear loud and proud everywhere I go, which naturally motivated this idiot to spew his VT hate at me. It was going fine until he uttered those six words. I don't really remember why he said he's a terrible coach because I stopped paying attention to him after he said that nonsense, but I couldn't believe someone who seemed so knowledgeable about football could actually think that. I walked away from the convo shortly after that because I was pissed.

So in honor of Bud Foster, the greatest defensive coordinator in college football, I'd like for everyone interested to share why you're grateful for Bud - kind of like a Bud Foster Thanksgiving. I'll start:

-The Lunch Pail mentality - it embodies our team and has been a trademark of one of the best defenses in the nation year in, year out.

-I'm very grateful he's still with us and never took a head coaching job anywhere else.

So why is everyone here grateful for the almighty Bud...
