It is to my everlasting regret that I have no more turkey legs to give.

bravo

... if you're not cheating, you're not trying?

Beams gives such diplomatic promos. But wouldn't you love it if just once, instead of talking up the next team, he came out like this?

2 things.
1) He won't be replying to you.
2) He's 16 years old, he hasn't been a fan for all that long.

Good stuff, but I'm a little confused on your table. How do the bear years line up with the year?

there's no question that Beamer is ultimately responsible when things go wrong...but when we say "it" is his fault, what exactly are we talking about?

ALL teams and ALL coaches will lose to teams they should beat. Stanford lost to Utah. BYU lost to UVA. FSU lost to NC State last year. Clemson lost to GT last year. LSU lost a couple of these this year. USC lost to Stanford when USC was #1. I could go on and on.

Does that mean that all these top-tier coaches should be fired?

Beamer is not perfect, but I can guarantee our next coach won't be perfect either.

Which brings us to the question...why do we consider ourselves a team that "should win" these games? Because we're a better program and are fielding better teams than those schools, and the reason we're a better program and fielding better teams than those schools is...

Frank Beamer.

He's the reason we have these expectations. Yes, I agree not every game is perfect and I can guarantee you we haven't been upset for the last time. Any coach will make mistakes and drop these games from time to time...when taking that into consideration, we have a pretty damn good coach at the helm. He wins (A LOT), he built the program out of nothing, he works his ass off, and he brings success without cheating. What more can we possibly ask.

He'll rebuild this program and it'll be better than ever (well, maybe not better than 99) with SL as OC.

In Frank we trust.

Just curious, but here's a two-part question for you -

1. how long have you been a Tech football fan,

2. how long have you been a fan of college football?

Im gonna be pessimistic here, but this will be a tough game for us. We can certainly lose this game. This isn't gonna be a pushover

Let's not forget the guaranteed return to the National Championship comes around the year ~2022; Vick's son should be at VT by then.
