Does anyone know why we are honoring Coach Foster at the Wake game?

I got this email today from VT Football and I though it was weird that we aren't honoring Coach Foster at our last home game. We waited until the last home game to do the big tribute for Coach Beamer. Is there a good reason for this? Or is this another scenario where VT Athletics screws up honoring someone? (I'm thinking of the recent screw up honoring the '99 team)

THIS ONE'S FOR BUD

Join us on Saturday, November 9th as we celebrate the career of Coach Bud Foster during the Hokies game against Wake Forest. Stop by Hokie Village to sign a "Thank You" banner, arrive in Lane early for giveaways at the gates, and be in your seats 30 minutes prior to kickoff for a ceremony you don't want to miss!

Upon the conclusion of the season Coach Foster will continue to serve Virginia Tech Athletics in a new role reporting directly to Director of Athletics Whit Babcock working as an ambassador for the program, in addition to focusing on special initiatives and other duties as assigned. Foster currently serves as the nation's longest continuously tenured FBS assistant coach at the same school, having arrived in Blacksburg for Beamer's initial season as head coach in 1987.

In addition to single-game ticket options, we also have Fan 4-Packs available for this game against Wake Forest. Click below for ticket options.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
โ€œI served in the United States Navy"
