Virginia Tech Hokies football

Obviously the Virginia Tech Hokies were extremely good back when they had Michael Vick, Kam Chancellor, Josh Morgan, and so on. Now, Virginia tech is alright in football (that is 6 wins or more). However, their bowl streak is still intact. This is largely thanks to the work of head coach Frank Beamer. It also happens that his son Shane is also the associate head coach.

Let's go back to the year 2008. In 2008, the Virginia Tech Hokies were 10-4 overall. A year later in 2009, they were 10-3 overall and defeated the Tennessee Volunteers in the Chick-Fil-A bowl. In 2010, after and 0-2 start, Virginia tech was 11-3 overall. In 2011, the Virginia Tech Hokies were a consecutive 11-3 record overall. In 2012 though, things started to go downhill for them (though they did get to 6 wins and to a bowl game). In 2012, the Hokies were 7-6 overall with a Russell Athletic Bowl win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. In 2013, the Virginia Tech Hokies improved to an 8-5 record overall. In 2014 the Hokies were the same record as 2012, that is 7-6 overall with a Military bowl win over the Cincinnati Bearcats 33-17. Extra! Extra! It seems that Frank Beamer will return in 2015.
