They've won the past two ACC championships and appear poised to earn a third consecutive trip to a BCS bowl next season. This tradition of success is a testament to the coaching abilities of Frank Beamer. While the Hokies rarely win on national signing day, they're always victorious when it counts.

In the Hokies’ loss to East Carolina last weekend, Sean Glennon proved he was unable to lead the Tech offense. Commentary: Beamer’s decision to redshirt Taylor this season to preserve his three remaining seasons of eligibility looked to be the correct call when it was made. Glennon could take ... lhroberts@gmail.com (Lee Roberts) Virginia Tech Hokies 2008-09-05T01:42:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/12106 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/12106 George Washington High (Danville, Va.) running back David Wilson gave the thumbs-up to Virginia Tech on Friday for the ’09 class.

But it was a window of opportunity for a top-five ranking, and it may be awhile before that window opens again. Not that the Hokies will devolve into Atlantic Coast Conference doormats next year. Under Frank Beamer's stewardship, Tech has become a team that reloads rather ... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Virginia Tech Hokies 2008-01-11T01:54:54-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/10199 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/10199 For most college football coaches, having two starting quarterbacks is like having two girlfriends -- it seems like a great idea at first, but it will come back to bite you.

They always have been. Their defense is opportunistic and aggressive, their offense freewheeling, their special teams perhaps the best in the nation year after year. Beamerball, they call it. Moreover, under Frank Beamer, they've been consistently in the top 20, often in the top 10. They won the ACC championship two years ago in their first ... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Virginia Tech Hokies 2007-10-24T01:51:27-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/10025 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/virginiatech/10025 No one had a clue. Virginia Tech linebacker Vince Hall, the team's leading tackler, was joking with reporters after the Hokies' victory over Clemson last Saturday. When it was mentioned that Clemson had run 90 offensive plays, Hall quipped, "Well, I was in there for 84." Some of them, apparently, with a broken wrist. Hall later felt some discomfort in his left wrist, was X-rayed, and underwent ... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Virginia Tech Hokies 2007-10-10T01:35:54-05:00
