Fu's ball

Beamerball is a national phenomenon. It's probably going to be Frank's lasting legacy on the sport. Before he came along, you'd throw in your third stringers and hope they could cleanly field the kick or just go through the motions. Frank knew you could change the game entirely by putting the best guys out there. VT rose to prominence in part due to this philosophy, and then it caught fire nationally. We all know Frank's impact on VT, but Beamerball is his impact on the sport.

It won't go anywhere anytime soon, nor should it.

The HokiesFB Twitter account is trying to push "HokiesBall" as a new term but I doubt it will catch on. I understand that they're not going to officially use Beamerball any more out of respect to Fuente, but the commentators and fans will still always call it that, at least as long as Frank's still around. And as others have said, Fuente seems fine with this. He is a respectful guy and knows what Frank means to the game and to the fans. Hence the #25 deal. He's paying deference to his predecessor and transforming the team in his own way. I mean, 103 points in two weeks. That's Fuenteball, or Fu's ball, or whatever you want to call it. But the bedrock of special teams is the lasting legacy of Frank Beamer, not just at VT, but in all of college football.

JUGS is 1-0 at Lane Stadium...dare I come to the Miami game??

Well Done!

Nope but I will try this place next time I'm down there.

Dude that is freaking awesome! Has anyone every caught a td, blocked a kick and had a sack in the same game before?

I did not know that Freddy Mercury was an ECU fan.

I could go way more in depth buttttt this basically covers it all and im still celebrating a great weekend for the hokie/badger that currently writes you. Regardless the broski has covered every point pretty well if you want some evidence why people might be drawing the wrong conclusions from papers im more than happy to look it up. Regardless science thrives when people challenge ideas, it forces you to prove you're correct which has been done time and again. Theres always going to be people that doubt the obvious answer, and thats OK, people to this day question quantum mechanics, but that stuff is pretty proven... As is climate science at this point. Iunno why these people are questioning it, but I cant forcibly change their minds, just present facts much like hokieshibe and myself have done in this thread. Again im trying to avoid politics but until you present factual evidence as to why I might be wrong (without massive holes in the arguments that can be shot down by the very data I have access to) I find it rather offensive when you call theories a fabrication. That makes it sound like scientists for years are trying to pull wool over your head? But for what purpose? To scare you? Honestly what sick kick do you think they get out of that, let alone 99% of the scientists in a single field. Do you think they all just got together one day to decide "Oh hey lets mess with the world governments and convince the world is utterly and totally screwed!" no...just no... there's a lot of evidence...A TON OF IT if you read my statements and followed my sources and read up on the topics. This isnt some hoodoo voodoo magic, this is a legitimate problem.

Alaskans are already seeing awful consequences from this stuff... There are horrible grizzly bear polar bear hybrids, that are as angry as polar bears and as free roaming as grizzlys... Regardless its bad news, and they're mating as grizzlys trend further north due to warmer temps, and polar bears are heading to land due to the lack of ice because....well its melting. They're a horrifying abomination of everything that doesn't represent the coke a cola commercials properly

" Wait.... we lost?!" - this guy after the game

I got bitten by the Hokies football bug in 2004 as well during my first year at Tech. Things were so different then. We expected to dominate every game, there were no games which were supposed to be losses for us, every game it seems had 4-5 sacks, 2 interceptions by the the defence, a 150 yard rushing performance by any tailback on offense, opposition playing timid and conservative on special teams, and there was a buzz around the program. Nice to see us getting that swag back. Bright days ahead Hokies..

6-18 (didn't get a chance to put this week up)... I think I would do better if I picked like my wife does based solely on the colors of each teams uniform.

HOKIES!!
