Know one knows why but Deon and those associated with the team. The Rest is speculation. Hate to see a guy miss his last game.
Although I'm in the group ready to move onto the Fuente era, I'm pretty sure it hasn't quite hit me that it's Frank's last game today. I'll be a wreck tonight.
This would be my reaction when handed that bus ticket. I think the athletic department finds the longest, most convoluted transportation home, IIRC. Short of making them walk back.
But if you mess up, you deserve the results.
Well hopefully Brewers decision making is completely the opposite of Depay's...
Am I the only one impressed with Marshalls true freshman QB? Yes, he has a lot to work on, but it seems as if he has great potential.
Not off to a good start today thanks to Man United. Hope the Hokies can do better!
A big win will definitely make a statement. If we start strong, it will be a good sign, and don't let up.
It looks like someone went muddin on the field of the St. Petersburg Bowl.
Well guys, Uncle Sam thought I was good this year so he figured out a way to let me go to the game. I will see everyone there. GO HOKIES!

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tulsa Independence Bowl Preview: Scouting the Golden Hurricane's Defense If Brewer can get enough time, I think Ford should have a monster day. He has the ability to make these corners look really bad.

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tulsa Independence Bowl Preview: Scouting the Golden Hurricane's Defense The problem is (teaser for Fuente previews) that his structure off the jet sweep fakes is less diverse and easier to defend than the multitude of looks Fuente was giving off the same action.
O has to score 35 today- watch to see how Bud defends KeYarris Garrett (No 1.) I wouldn't be shocked to see Adonis Alexander stay in the lineup and match up on Garrett some today, especially if Brandon Facyson is still nicked up a bit.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Apparently TV has been after him since he announced his retirement. We are going to see a fun side of Frank for years.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Between this and the Santa Claus picture, either he retired just in time to lose all sanity, or it's been the best thing for him.
LET' S DO IT! LET'S GO! Let's get on 'em and bring dis bad boy HOME for Beamer to send him laughing and dancing all the way to the bank and back! WHOOOO!!!
My grandfather is the biggest Navy fan I know, so I couldn't be more excited for him to watch this game with me tonight. Gonna spread the Hokie vibe!
C'mon man! The creator of FBS (my hero) knows better. Bryan Stinespring did a lot of damage to this program while Beamer turned a blind eye to his incompetence. Today is a day to celebrate Beamer's accomplishments, but also a day to exhale because Stinespring will FINALLY be gone!!!
We better win by 100.
Cannot wait.

I want a win for a winning season.
I want a win so the first day of our offseason will be a happy one.
I want a win because Go Hokies.
My initial reaction to the OP was a surprising (to me) "Meh...", then I tried to remind myself all of these reasons you mentioned above, which would normally be enough in any other season to get me excited. But walking around these last few weeks, I'm still kind of "okay" with whatever the result is (unless it's absolutely terrible). I think Duke and UNC and these last four seasons have kind of conditioned me that we can play hard and have fun and still just miss, or just win, we'll be back next week (or season).
But more so, considering this year is in fact different, I get the feeling that UNC and UVA were Frank Beamer's real last games, with the rivalries (new and old), the locations, the conference affiliations, the build up, the fire and heart and soul of this squad and fan base. Shreveport feels more and more like just a bonus, not the "I'm putting in a swimming pool" kind, but a "jelly of the month club" kind that makes you want the fat old heartless guy tied up in your living room in his pajamas with a big bow on his head, until you've had a week or two to calm down and you change your mind before the SWAT team (Tulsa) shows up. It's a chance to watch the Hokies and hope they win and keep the streak going, but it feels like the important games have already been played.
Decided it was time to go ahead and bump this back up. Every thing that applies with Scott Stadium applies to Shreveport and Tulsa. Won't be at the game, will be watching it from sister's house.
Granted!
I missed all the early games, but with Liverpool beating Leicester, Arsenal can go top of the table with a win.
