This might be the image of Virginia Tech's 2014 football season.
Yesterday was a disaster, but hopefully we can have some fun this morning. Funny and witty is what we're looking for here, not mean spirited.

Frank finally harnesses the powers of the Force.
Caption?
Virginia Tech, 2014
The worst thing about this image is that its making the rounds on all the usual websites. Deadspin, ESPN, CBSSports, they've all had their fun with it. Before yesterday, we were just a bad football team. Now? We're the national punchline.
We're even the punchline for non-sports websites:
"To make matters worse, Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer was captured celebrating the 0-0 tie (see above), something only someone as sick as the surgeon in "Human Centipede" would do. You not only failed college football today, guys. You failed our country."
I pooped today!
Poop is funny
See, this is why I love this site.
"Yes! After 34 years as a head coach, I finally achieved a perfect game!"
(It would explain so much if he really thought this.)
"Sweet! More opportunities to punt!"
Mission Accomplished!
I hated that message BUT I also hate that people think he school played any part in that message. (Not saying you do bur I've seen a lot of comments out there where people think Whit or Frank made that up)
Eventhough I had the wrong saying (Mission Completed). It still came from hokiesports.com
The shirt from everything I found on it when it came out was made by an outside shirt sales page, fanatics.com.
True. Except hokiesports.com is the official website of virginia tech sports. When you click "shop" (or click hokiesports shop.com link on the bottom woth hokietickets.com, etc) it takes you to a fanatics powered site (shop.hokiesports.com). Additionally they have the registered trademarks of the university on them. Therefore, the university was aware and approved them and authorized their sale.
I'm not saying Whit and Frank were behind it, but the university knew about it.
I'll concede that point , however im not sure how trademark for college teams works. Do the manufactures have mostly free rein to design shirts? Does every design go to someone in the AD's office?
DOUBLE DONUT HOLES!
Mmm...donuts!!!
Hey, I want double donut holes!! Guess I'll have to wait til next week

Frank Meme (Had Trouble Embedding Photo)

B7, I22, N44, G54, O74....BINGO!!! BINGO!!!!
I'd attempt a funny, cute caption if I thought this was something to laugh about
Double-Fisting??!!
*Phrasing*
YES!! I have enough eggs for that omelette now!!
"This, you bastards, this, Loeffler. This is what I wanted to see today."
Eh, tough to come up with something funny today.
Oh, this makes me sad...
ouch
We have a winner.
That makes me laugh and sad at the same time.
My wallpaper on my laptop....winner, winner, chicken dinner right here!
I think it's weener weener cheekun deener.
Right in the feels
My first thought...
All Pussy Touchdowns Have Been Denied!!
:( sadz
DPT references always get a leg!
Always thought Beams was more of a double fingerer
"VT head coach celebrates end of dismal VT-WF game, moments before realizing team will have to return to field"
YES, MOM MADE PIZZA ROLLS!!!
God this thread is depressing....
Something, something, something..."VIAGRA"!!!
Oh, how about DRAGOOO!!!
Yes! I have finally returned to the 1000 Leg Club since the Leg adjustment a couple months ago. I'd like to thank Joe for making the Site and GuitarMan for being the best Mod on the world wide interwebz and.................
Credit to VTHokie07 for the KD meme.
Holy crap, hope I get to 20 legs soon. Once I do I'm gonna upvote the crap out of all these posts.
"Hell, yeah, we'll be better next year." And they better be.
This ought to be worth at least a few votes in disagreement but I say we keep Beamer and Loeffler for another year. Help Foster get his big recruits this year with a backroom agreement he's the man starting in 2016. (And this comes from a guy who was all for canning Beams after letting him Stinespring us against Kansas way back.)
I'm a longtime reader and only a newbie poster, and I get that, but I have to say I agree. I think Beams and Lefty should be given one more year ON THE CONDITION that Babcock comes down on Beamer's ass at the conclusion of the season. And I mean REALLY comes down on his ass. Chews him out. Heart to heart. Perhaps that will light the proverbial fire under it so that he'll take a more serious approach to game prep and in-game adjustments (two of his key weaknesses I consider). This is probably not the most popular opinion.
I'm not so sure a 40 something year old AD can really create too much motivation for a 60+ year old legend head coach. That fire, plan, and desire to change needs to come from CFB at this point. And if he doesn't have those three things then, " thanks for the great ride and we wish you all the best."
Point taken. You're right it needs to come from within. But perhaps the AD can stroke-er, stoke said fires. If not then that's REALLY sad. It almost gives off the appearance that Beams cares neither for his job or the program.
I'm not trying to make it a habit to disagree, but I can't imagine that CFB doesn't care. He's got more invested in this than any of us. I don't know what it is that makes a coach lose "it". I don't know football on a great scale, but I'd think the older you get, the more stuff you've seen, and could have wrinkles for all situations. Maybe there's just too much tape on VT that allows opponents to predict what we're doing. Pure speculation here, but I think he's comfortable with certain drills/practice regimens and hasn't adjusted them over the years, and now they're practicing outdated drills that don't prepare the players. For half the season, you could at least tell they weren't teaching how to substitute, line up, or agree on a snap count. They fixed that but must have sacrificed blitz pickup and redzone/any offense practice time.
I get your point. I don't think Frank doesn't care.
But I think Nick Saban cares. I can see he cares. When his team is up 45-3 in the 4th quarter against Alabama State or whatever, he's pissed when someone misses an assignment. We get Fancy Gap doing the Milk the Cow in the dance circle after beating DOOK.
Would Saban ever do this? How about Meyer? Harbaugh? Les Miles? ... anyone...?
Therein lies much of the reason we won't be among the elite while Frank is coaching. The elite coaches keep their foot on the gas pedal. Frank has been on cruise control for about a decade now. Sure, he wants to win. But he doesn't put in the degree of effort that it takes to accomplish that high level. He puts in effort, but not that degree of focused effort. His goals have been continually dialed back. He's now content to 'contend for the Coastal crown and make the ACC title game'. He doesn't even have the goal of dominating the ACC, which is 4th of the Power 5 conferences. He settles for much less than that now. That's not the same as the best coaches.
I thought we weren't doing phrasing anymore
i made it my twitter avatar, with a lil brand tweak.
Woooo Hoooooo!!!! Hey Bud, what happened?
Them double 0's, they'll get after ya'.....
So you're saying there is a chance! YEAH!
Only 1 more regulation game until retirement!
Long time lurker and fan, first time poster... be gentle!
Made me laugh. Have a leg.
Woo Hoo!!! I play to not lose, rather than playing to win!!! Yeah!!!!
I kept waiting to see this. Since I didn't, here goes:
are those C Cups!!!!
Boobs. End regulatation. We are now on unregulated boobs. These boobs have not been inspected. They are not under warranty. Enjoy boobs at own risk.
Pretty sure Frank is just a huge TKP fan
Shut it down, folks. The Internet has been won for the day.
ah thank you!
HEY! How come I wasn't able to use the internet 14 hrs ago!?
"note to self: next time the game ends in a zero zero tie, put on the 'who farted?' face no matter how excited I am that we haven't lost yet"
No, put "Who farted? I DID" over it.
