A couple weeks ago, I was riding in my parents' car to my oldest son's baseball game, and my dad and I had a long discussion about the fate of our football program and Beamer's exit. We basically decided that we were going to end up with BeamerPa sitting up in the booth because he'd be too old to stand on the sidelines.
Half a week later...
BAM!
SHOCKER!
Beamer surprised the crap out of us (and I'm guessing a lot of you) by actually announcing that this season will be his last. He surprised me so much that I convinced my little fingers to log in to the blog and think about Hokie Football. [Shudder.]
First off, thank God that he isn't going to become BeamerPa. I was literally on the verge of never watching a game again, but now I'll finish out the season just to see how the kids play for him.
Yes, I said kids. Because I am getting old. Very, very old.
I'm not really interested in doing any sort of team-to-team analysis. The Other Tech beat us last year at home. Now we're in their stadium on a Thursday night. No Enter Sandman. No excitement. Just some stupid old car at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Bleh.
The only thing going for us, literally, is that they suck pretty bad this year. They've actually lost one more game than us, somehow.
Yay for mediocre opponents!
I'm not interested in watching The Hobbit (ever, again, actually). I just want to see how the boys play knowing that THE MAN is retiring this year.
Only 3 more games left.
Only 1 home game left.
Seriously, that's it. I have nothing interesting to say. I will work on my farewell to Frank, but I'm sorta at a loss for words. Still in shock, I think. So... yes... that's literally all I've got.
Expect to get teary-eyed watching all the old clips of Frank tonight.
Give 'em hell, Frank! Give 'em hell,
Love a well-timed retirement,
The B.S.C.
