Frank's celebration was grassroots oriented, not put up manufactured fake corporate stuff.
Fans started the # campaigns, Fans made the signs, The players carried him, Coaches hugged and kissed him.
The only thing VT did was go along for the ride and make a couple Jumbotron videos.
The best we could do was the Hokie Pokie, MV Tuba style.
My favorite thing from those videos is their response to "Why Memphis?" Their first two words were "Coach Fuente". Our current assistants' love for Coach Beamer is what kept them here for so long and contributed to a lot of our 10 win seasons and conference championships. I sense a lot of similar love for Coach Fuente from his assistants and I feel confident that they'll be doing everything they can to make their boss and Virginia Tech a success!
I was under the impression that the 'stuff rate' showed how successful the line was at...you know...doing stuff.
Thanks for the clarification.

# | OT: Spurrier's "Open Letter" to USCe Fans (and a possible jab at CFB) Just want to point out, that in the $EC Spurrier had 3 straight 11-2 seasons at USCe from 2011-2013 finishing in the top 10 all 3 years. And during his tenure at Florida he never won less than 9 games, and 9-wins only happened 3 times in 12 seasons.
We probably won't see another like Spurrier, and that's a shame. He shot straight, had some curly-que insights, but got his teams ready to play on the field. When he stepped down, it was done for him. He bowed out and left. On his terms. For someone used to winning, it's difficult to lose.
Honestly, I couldn't give two cents about Steve Spurrier. No use wasting my time worrying about the actions of someone that I don't care about.

"He said ''Boy, wake up, we're going over the mountain,' and that was code for we're going to watch Virginia Tech play football today,""
Thats when, if I cried, I wouldve.
I mean, linemen are often referred to as "big uglies..."
I would have been a distraction throughout the remainder of the season about my last game everywhere I went. I did not want a "Spurrier Farewell Tour." The players deserve to be the story of each game
For a team that went 3-9, even if you were there you didn't stick it out with them. Sorry, never was around to see what you did for UF but saw your failure in the NFL. Not a good coach in my eyes. Even coaches that see the writing on the wall they stick through the end of the season. No leadership and obviously no respect. Frank sticking through the remainder of the season helped the fans, team, and AD find continuity. Honestly, our team needed something to drive them to play harder. I don't think we would be bowl eligible if he left mid season. EPIC FAIL Spurrier! Rant over.
If he were the coach of any other position, I'd be concerned.
Our 804 recruiting dropped off a cliff with the change from Cavanaugh to S. Beamer.
Could be Wiggins if Burden stays.
Plus, there's still two assistant vacancies that haven't been revealed.
true, it tickles your nose and makes people thinking you are picking boogs.
So with McMillan and some of the other RB's we have had in the past, we should be fine.
Haha leg for you my friend!
Rumors are that Burden will remain. That would mean Wiggins to RBs, Burden to WR and still 1 coach spot open. I'm still holding out some hope that it will be either moving Shibest to ST and having Stiney on TE and Recruiting, or keep Shibest on TE and have Shane on ST and Recruiting. I think Stiney would benefit us more, but who knows.

# | OT: Spurrier's "Open Letter" to USCe Fans (and a possible jab at CFB) This isn't a shot at Frank, just Spurrier's opinion. The guy loves to speak his mind. I'm a Spurrier fan - I find his persona both charismatic and entertaining. At USCe, Spurrier's 'goodbye tour' would have been undeserved and I think he knew this. Frank is different - it was deserved. Frank grew up in SWVA, went to college here, coached here, and brought the team to national relevance.
Does this mean Blacksburg is becoming 
?
And I hope it never stops. One of the best bits in the football blogosphere.

# | Brad Cornelsen and Vance Vice Will Reportedly Join Justin Fuente's Staff Does Fuente take over RB coaching duties? It looks like the only position coach not currently taken
That Spurrier thought the only alternative was a "Farewell Tour" speaks volumes about his character and mind set. The fans wanted to #ThankFrank for all he did for the school and community. Spurrier assumed he'd be lauded for his greatness.
Big differences there.
Insiders are saying that it will almost certainly be Galen Scott as LB and AHC
