The Hokies won't play football for another 102 days, and the Virginia Tech athletic department is seemingly biding some of its time by flipping through an old media guide for the benefit of Hokie Nation. Tech shared this gem of a photo of defensive coordinator Bud Foster from his stint as an assistant coach at Murray State in 1985.
Give it a RT if you like the long, flowing locks & mustache of @CoachFosterVT circa 1985!

Perusing old photos of Bud Foster is a tried and true way to make it through the long offseason and arrive to September sane and in one piece. (If you really want to make a dent in the clock, read the feature I wrote on Foster last year.)

Such a contrast to the terror he induces in opposing QBs.
Perfect way to start my day! +1.
I would buy a pack of cigarettes and a 6-pack of beer from this man, behind a gas station, adjacent to the trailer park.
Right? Then walking away you'd think to yourself, 'he seemed like a good dude' as he hopped in his red 84 Thunderbird.
Ahhh, so THAT'S where I recognize that guy from.
yeah, in that picture... Bud is definitely a suiting name. lol
Of course we laugh now.
I was an older teenager in 1985, so I've got street cred.
That hairdo is SPOT ON. Coach Foster had some serious eighties swag.
Is it weird that I want a Bud Foster throwback jersey from Murray State?
A good steak, another man's wife, the Wu Tang Clan, and Bud Foster are all Nothing to fuck with
I'll second that
Is Bud Foster for the children?
Bud foster is for the universe.
He still looks like he'd rip yer head off just to look at your guts!
IN BUD WE TRUST
You should probably give credit to Bill because it's maybe possibly potentially from his Power Hour video

SCREAMS 80's!
Too bad that was 1995.
Please tell me I'm not the only one.
It was the thing, man:
The friggin Mt Rushmore of staches. Well done.

From the beach, are we?
The only superlative Bud ever cared about...
We have a winner...no more entries necessary
He looks eerily like DreZ, the DJ for 105.3 who does the tailgate show.
HELL to the YES! This made me want to join twitter. So my first job out of school was about 20 miles north of Murray State (I got an MBA there) and most of the operators I worked with knew the players. Said Charlie Wiles was a partier, didn't mention Bud, maybe he was too busy scheming up ways to decimate QBs.
The man doesn't age. Unreal.
Even Father Time is skeered of Bud!
