# | Hokies Set to Face Tar Heels' Dynamic Offense and Bend But Don't Break Defense Noticed that as well-
Heading up with the girlfriend (converted Hokie from Sweet Briar) and meeting up with the old college roommate. Leaving tomorrow at 6am to head over the mountain (Route 8).
Excited but not sure if I'm ready.
If we were looking for a defensive minded head coach we would have already named BUD as HC. I don't see them bringing in a defensive person ahead of Bud, that would be a slap in the face IMO.
My parents sister and I will be there!
If you want someone out of left field that hasn't been mentioned before, how about Gregg Williams? His son played here, he has NFL experience as both a coordinator and head coach, runs a complex attacking scheme on defense, during his NFL suspension was at all of VTs games and offered advice/tips to players besides Chase as well.
I don't think he'll be the coach, but he is a possibility that I hadn't seen mentioned before.
The Keion Carpenter one, wow.....the onions are strong today....
You are on fire with the literalisms this week. I don't care about the reports, if you've played a sport you know that every locker room has players who will complain about a coach. Every single locker room.
So a guy saying "he curses too much" literally means nothing to me.
I'll ask this as nicely as I can. If you really don't care how a coach treats his players why do you follow college football?
VTCC Really did a nice presentation to Coach Beamer on 11/18. He's gonna need a bigger house to put all this stuff in!!
I wish.
I'll have to settle for cable.
Me baby, meeeee.
Can you imagine if he magically ended up coaching at loluva??? That would make that week even more special.

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia I'm just saying that if you want to give Beamer credit for the Architecture department's top 10 status, you should bring some sources for that, not just speculation.
I'll give Beamer credit for the football program, but I prefer to give the Architecture program credit for their success.
Certainly, the football team's prominence is good for the university, so everybody wins.

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia Both of those programs were top-25 already.
Engineering I think is true. Architecture I don't believe so. But could be wrong. As I said, would love to see the sauce on that.
I think the prominence of the architecture program has more to do with the people in the architecture department than with Frank Beamer. Otherwise, wouldn't all the other programs be "top 10" as well?
Again, this seems reductionist. Yes, the college of Architecture was not run by Beamer. (A point that nobody has made) Nor was any course taught or any student mentored/tutored or otherwise informed by Beamer in regards to architecture. Yet, there is a failure to recognize what national exposure brings. Specifically increased money but also increased awareness. Would those same professors have come if VT was still primarily a regional Engineering school? Would the amount of research dollars funneled into Tech have been the same? As I demonstrated before the trend says "no" for the money. increases in endowment/research grants/even salaries and numbers of positions all stem from the university's increased market position. That's just how it works. Basic economics.
So yeah, let's say Arch was top 25 when you were there. Well it took from the start of the university until your time to get there. Then in short order it was top ten and consistently top 5 for a while, maybe even still. That's a severe curve there. And being a nationally recognized school was mostly responsible for that, to which football, led by Beamer, established for us.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: JACKSONVILLE STATE GAMECOCKS (2-1) VS VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES (0-1) 7PM ESPN3 I had two papers and an 800 word response due in four hours
Wife, father-in-law, and I will be there to cheer on Frank and the fighting Beamers for the day!
The rating is actually explosive drives, defined as averaging more than 10 yards per play.
For what it's worth, the defense has given up 50 plays of 20+ yards, 89th in the country.

I lived in Boulder Creek up in the Santa Cruz Mountains while working in Santa Clara for 7 years. You all San Jose Hokies ever been up there?
