Well at the very least they have updated the end. Got pictures with helmets we never wore before this season. Does seem like they would have included the OSU game if they made a whole new video though.

All I can say is that when we met Frank Bearmer the deal was closed. Mook had many offers and sat in many coaches offices during his recruitment, but the family atmosphere he built here at Tech from every coach on down is unsurpassed. Never once did it feel like a receuiting trip, more like coffee after dinner. We came up many times and every time it felt even more like home. As a parent you want your child to be the best player he can be, but more importantly the best MAN he can be. I didnt blink once when playing for Coach Beamer was his choice. I know the book of his life has many chapters and the next will be an exciting journey. Im just glad he gave us an opportunity to be in it. Thanks Coach. This is HOME and you always made it so much more inviting when you opened the door. God Speed, Semper Fi!!

I wish more people explained this like you have, they took the time to explain how they went about looking for their child's next stop. I also love hearing about the family and how it actually is important in this day and age.

OT: I know this is about Frank but those clips of Mike showed how special he was. A once in a lifetime talent that took us to another level under the guidance of a great coach.

Also, OT but I am impressed by ESPN's coverage of this. I thought they would sweep it under the rug with only one story or something but media coverage has been pretty big (and for good reason).

Yeah, I haven't seen them talk about it much. All I've seen is World Series talk, NFL talk and College Football Committee talk.
Mike & Mike had Danny Kanell on for 45 mins and Beamer's name didn't get mentioned. The7y talked about College Playoff and spent about 20 mins on the Miami-Duke play....oh, and JT Barrett's extension.
If y'all could link me to some ESPN videos of them talking about it, that'd be cool. I have seen more than a few articles written about it on their website tho.

Well-deserved
Tears.
Wow.
Loved listening to Shane talk about his father. Frank's expression while listening to Shane makes the entire video for me (8:04-8:08 mark).
I want to say the showed it before the Spring Game last year or the year before, still very moving and timeless with respect to Coach.

I'll man up and admit it. I teared up.
I cried like a baby
Beautiful.

Really? I didn't see a single story on it from 1-5 pm.

What part Beamer had in the Conservation and Reinvestment Act in Bill Clinton's speech? I thought that was interesting
Sound?
What an awesome video!
I hadn't seen that before, but it sure helped me re-live some memories, and reminded me of some of his achievements.
Truly a remarkable human being.
ohh come onnn its too early to cry... probably will do the same at 12:30 too with the press conference.
I just can't get over how much Beamer has aged in the last 18 months. :(
He really has. How he looked vs OSU last year to this year is incredible.
Now for the real Frank Beamer Tribute Video, Dozer?
And it better have high energy electronica incorporated!
We should start a crowdfunding to provide Dozer the fundage to pull out all the stops.
Right in the feels
They showed this during our last all staff meeting and there weren't many dry eyes in the room.
OT hokiejoe, I know you've mentioned it before, but what exactly do you do for the Athletics Department?
He's obviously the Assistant (to the) Athletic Director...
A little of this, a little of that. Assistant (to the) Facilities Manager of Cassell/Hahn Hurst/Jamerson/Merryman.
Damn. F-k dammit. He's really gonna be gone after this season. That's it. F-k dammit.
well, at least you're consistent. I'll give you that.
