Besides, I'd be too distracted looking at that brown thing on there. I certainly wouldn’t say that to Beamer’s face. Besides, I’d be too distracted looking at that brown thing on there.

Beamer doesn't have that luxury -- the Hokies' margin for error is pretty small (see the four losses). As an SEC guy, I really hoped Alabama would win. But I have to say I'm happy for Utah, and really happy to see Saban knocked down a notch. Talk about late-season folds. In mid-November, it looked like an Alabama-Texas Tech national championship game might happen. Now each has two losses to end the season. Amazing.

Yeh, I totally agree... I think it's tough, though, for older head coaches like Beamer or Bowden or Jo' Pah. I mean they already have a reputation of being old skool coaches. Not an excuse, understand, just the way it works for them. I wonder, though, if younger coaches like Sabin, Meyer and Carroll control their players any better because they're younger? I suppose they have choices on the bench, and maybe that's the difference? Sabin has that attitude -- but it didn't show last night. I totally know you would NEVER say that to Frank. My smiley dropped down a line. :( Love the blog! Did you love what happened to ‘bama or what?

He's more of a friend to the players than anything. Weaver had to play bad cop and kick Marcus off the team because Beamer wouldn't. ... And Thug U is not fair, but two years ago, you remember that was the reputation the Hokies were picking up because of Vick and a few of the defensive backs who racked up late hits and unsportsmanlike penalties. I'm just saying that Beamer can't let the program backslide like that, and Tyrod needs to grow up and play the game like a team player. Right now, he's no leader. He's just a great athlete helping his team win. I might not say that to his face out of respect, but he certainly has been less than a disciplinarian throughout his coaching career.

Tebow, White.... lots of dual-threat QBs out there that take a more humble approach to playing the position and are just as competitive. They show up higher in dual-threat lists like this one, too: http://theredzonereport.com/2008/05/11/2008-top-20-dual-threat-qbs/401/#more-401 Frank grow a pair? Would you tell him that to his face? ;) Thug U…. ouch.
