Me during 4:22-4:57

Dude never once stopped caring about his players and coaches more than anything else.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

"Honest, Caring, Respectful"

That's all you need to know about the man. Take a bow coach.

I'm a grown ass man, here in my laboratory, just crying my eyes out.

Lots of grown ass man tears going around Hokie Nation today. When he first choked up I had already lost it.

If you play it, they will win.

Grown-ass-man-tears in the middle of a DoD Security Operations Center. Had to excuse myself to not get laughed out of the room by the ladies.

"...sticks and stones may break my bones but I'm gonna kick you repeatedly in the balls Gardoki!"

If I can be half the person that Frank Beamer is I'll consider myself lucky. God bless that man.

Tech's remaining three FOUR games

"We were at the pinnacle, and we did it for years," Foster says. He pauses, nods, takes a deep breath. "And I did it with the best guy in the business."

Frank Beamer is good people, a real human with genuine emotions, and isn't afraid to show it. You don't get that with football coaches these days.

Party Positive.

You look up Class in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Frank. I thought anything less than attending the UNC game would keep me from crying over this but while watching the 1st 5 minutes of the video I couldn't help it. Thanks for everything Coach Beamer!

For some reason, audio won't work on the video for me.

I checked it. For me it works, but is definitely not normal.

I just hear a lot of feedback sounds. I'll try to watch again later but I can't hear any words. I tested other YouTube videos and they worked fine.

Me neither. And the only one i could find on youtube that worked had the audio and video not matched uo at all. Frustration.

After watching this press conference, I'll say Hokies are going to finish 8-5.

Frank is going to drag Mike London out the door with him.

Cheers to a legend!
