According to Bitter CFB won't be at the game or in town this week to talk to the team prior to the game.
Fuente said Frank Beamer is out of town and not available for a pep talk this week. #Hokies will have to look elsewhere for inspiration.β Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) November 20, 2017
While I'm not superstitious I can't help but not like this.

Just another step in the transition into the age of Fuente. Personally I was a big fan of some of the other steps: winning at Heinz, winning at FedEx.
Let's see how this one turns out.
Tactical error. Frank's sideline presence in rivalry games should be stipulated in his contract.
Probably be in Texas for CFP stuff, right?
Probably visiting the National Milkshake Museum, wherever that is.
Los Angeles.
Oh sweet holy shit there actually is one?
is there really any doubt?
Its an ice cream museum.
I know they have an ice cream museum in SF. I went to it a few weeks ago.
With Hank?
Need to transfer power
i think Bud Foster is well educated on the importance of this rivalry
Frank's probably too busy #stickin'itin

Love it
I nominate James Gayle to give the team its Hate Week briefing. That guy hated Hoos like they were going extinct.
And David Wilson.
Don't leave out the Grimm Reaper.
Probably can add Sam Rogers to the list as well.
SAM ROGERS is a being of all action and few words.
Sam had another more epic pump up speech during one of the Sounds of Gameday videos, but here is one for the time being.
Love the name and avatar. Its sad, but I doubt any kid under the age of 22 even knows who Ernest is. I know it was slapstick comedy but I loved his movies growing up.
Me too. Ernest goes to bootcamp, and the Halloween special were among my favorites
Cheers, guys. I used to love those movies growing up. Ernest Goes to Jail was one of my all time favorites. My family actually named our dog after Ernest's dog, Rimshot. It was good, clean humor. Very Mayberry-esque.
I thought I'd give a tribute to 'ole Jim Varney and combine it with Ernest Wilford to create a hybrid. God bless y'all.
Maybe he's in Knoxville interviewing for the Tennessee 'job'
What about Hank? I bet he hates wahoos.
