Virginia Tech Football Harlem Shake Video

You may be getting tired of these, or this may be the first one you've seen, but... FRANK BEAMER DANCING.

The video is via the vthokiesports YouTube page, which has had a lot of great updates lately.

Also, James Gayle is looking huge. The twins in the the helmets is my favorite part, what's yours?

Beamer dancing is the highlight of my day. Plus, I love how Exum just stands there in the middle the whole time #youwasinthelibrary

hahaha it took me a second to realize it was exum but i love it how hes just chilling there too

tyrod did it mikey! tyrod did it!

The only thing that would make this 100x better is if Exum was holding a #BEATBAMA sign

That was just the celebration after the team found out about the offensive staff changes...

honestly I thought this was going to be retarded because it's like a month late but

@VTimHokie85

That was awesome!

Also, the inflatable Hokie Bird makes a return appearance, and it stays right side up. That's gotta count for something!

Yep, this made my day. Nothing more to see or do today.

Phillip

You have simultaneously brightened my day and darkened my 2013. The only thing that will top this is when we #BEATBAMA.

West Virginian by birth, Hokie by choice

job well done

this gif is all over the interwebs right now. Beamer's infamous dance moves will live on forever

even this migraine can't stop

VT Harlem Shake Roster

Alright, this is what I can tell, help if you can decipher people

Tiger Woods - Kyle Fuller
Staring deep into our eyes on crutches - Antone Exum
Being Huge and scary - James Gayle

Is that Jack Tyler as Bane?

I know Ken Ekanem was wearing a Bane mask for the video. Also, Zach McCray as pirate superman. JCC was spiderman in a helmet I believe. And Devin VanDyke is the guy in the beanie and tie in the back

LT3=Bane?

Are we sure LT3 isn't dressed as Bane?

Twitter: @mdsams

Yes, Ken Ekanem tweeted about breaking out his Bane mask and posted that picture.

10-4

Fair enough. They do like fairly alike (albeit, underneath a Bane mask).

Twitter: @mdsams

lol at bane and batman fighting in the middle of the chaos, and do you know who's wearing the captain hat and tropical shirt?

"That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! And you can quote me on that shit!" -Bud Foster

Correction, Beanie and Tie in the back is Mark Leal and sombrero with goggles is Devin VanDyke

Leal is front left in the first picture, squatted down with a diaper, haha.

My bad. He always looked smaller on TV. Not sure who the back right guy is then

RVD?

Is it Ronny VanDyke?

No, RVD is darker than that, at least according to his HokieSports picture.

It's Brandon Facyson

I'm pretty sure

Ding ding

^^ Youre right

"Go Hokies!" - Thomas Jefferson
@HaydenDubya

In that case, I think Devin Van Dyke's costume is hilarious. I don't understand at all why he's carrying around water but it makes the whole thing.

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Jeff Jagodzinski, Paul Johnson, Pat Narduzzi.

I couldn't resist bringing this gem of joe's back

A Bane mask, because Bane wiped out two football teams on his own

I thought I hated the Harlem Shake

That was until I saw this. Fantastic!

this just keeps getting better and better

I enjoyed the tweet from Shane almost as much as seeing Beamer dancing!!! OH what funny things little kids say!

One word...

The design and amenities of that locker room never cease to amaze me. That needs a new indoor practice facility to accompany it!

Page Views

In 2 hours, this thread has just about surpassed all other threads in page views on the main page.

Just to make it easier

and exum again, stands in the middle and stares at the camera haha

Dude in the West End uniform >>>>>>>>>>>>

Davion Tookes

That's gotta be Tookes right? He's the only one I can think of with dreads.

Pretty sure those are fake dreads though

"Go Hokies!" - Thomas Jefferson
@HaydenDubya

now that you mention it

none of them had dreads before the costume switch, so I was definitely wrong

Who's the white guy? Dancing is clearly not his forte.

Since its the DB video

I think it's Michael Cole, but it could also be Nick Bush, Scott Rolin, or T.J. Shaw.

I believe it is Nick bush

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

I learned how to make a gif today...

Wavy Cat Says...

@VTimHokie85

I also noticed JC Coleman starts of sitting on top of the lockers in the very very back. Then is at the front as the scene switches. hehe

@VTimHokie85

The Twins in the PJs

I wouldn't be surprised if that was Brooks Abbott and AJ Hughes in the PJs...like two peas in a pod i guess...

#ENFUENTE #BALLSOFSTEEL #Livefor32

Kyle Fuller as Tiger Woods was good...

ESPN Bloggest Andrea Adelson

First Paul Johnson joins Twitter.

Now Frank Beamer has been spotted doing the Harlem Shake.

Is this real life?

Yes, yes it is.

Now, we all know the Harlem Shake has swept the nation, and just about every team has done their own version of the quirky dance video. In the past week, Miami and Georgia Tech have released their own. Among the most ridiculous highlights -- Miami running back Duke Johnson dressed as a penguin and Jackets players dancing around a cardboard cutout of their coach.

Both highly entertaining.

But not nearly as entertaining as watching Beamer, the dean of college football coaches, attempting to shimmy and shake to the music as he takes a casual stroll through the Hokies locker room. Here are a list of things I would have predicted seeing before this video came out:

Wings on pigs

Santa Claus being real

Duke winning a football national championship

Instead, Beamer got down with his bad self, taking a page out of the Frank Sinatra dance book to the tune of a 2013 viral sensation. Nobody can say where exactly he learned these moves, not even his son, assistant coach Shane Beamer -- who posted this on Twitter shortly after the video was posted:

Is it bad that my 3 yr old has watched the Harlem Shake video 7 times and keeps asking "What's Grand-dad doing?" Dancing sweetie, dancing

Beamer clearly has proven that there are no limits to what a man can do when the Harlem Shake starts blaring through the beat box.

You can't help but get down.

Dunno where ESPN finds these people

Just Because...

I daresay that VT has the coolest head coach in college football.

I support Logan Thomas and make no apologies for it.

I have actually read someone saying that the only reason Frank did the video was so it would look like he can still connect with younger players. DUH!!!

Les Miles and the Tigers try to outdo Beamer & Co!

...But the Frankinator isn't impressed

+1 for the Frankinator.

This was weak. They are spread out all over the place and at least 75% are just still in pads and uniform.

@vtscottyb

Beamer's moves are far superior to Les'

Thankfully, I don't think the Frankinator eats grass as well as Les.

LSU did a Harlem Shake too?

For the WIN! #BEATBAMA

How did we miss this?

I've seen people get beat by 15 seconds or so, and that's always funny. But dude... YEARS. She beat you by 2 YEARS. Back when TKP comments had subject lines. Probably a good thing you're not currently a drinking man, or you'd have to put back quite a few to make up for that one.
