Va Tech Football 2005 Year in Review

The Virginia Tech football season has come to end and it certainly was a season filled with ups and downs. I enjoy attending the games and have seen the football program grow from being just awful to exceptionally good year after year. Becoming a winning program does, apparently, come at a cost. If I had one wish for next year's team, I wish that Frank Beamer would get some guts and bench players that cause more trouble than what they are worth. Some players just behave in a manner that does not reflect well on my alma-mater. I guess discipline and sportsmanship are far less important than winning. I suspect Frank has so much riding on winning these days that he can't afford to bench players that are obviously a poor reflection on the entire program. I completely understand his position, and our program is certainly not the first program to have such issues.

Perhaps Va Tech can start offering a new class for all incoming recruits "How not to look like an immature spoiled kid on national television 101". I guess if you want a squeaky clean program, attend Vanderbilt...Which bowl did they go to this year? And when is my season ticket application due? :(

Update: Since writing this post (I saved it as a draft yesterday), the athletic department at Va Tech released this statement.
