SHREVEPORT, La. -- Addressing the media for the final time as Virginia Tech head coach, Frank Beamer was in a jovial mood Saturday night.
“First time I came to Shreveport, I left here a happy guy,” said Beamer, who coached his first bowl game in the Independence Bowl in 1993. “Last time I come to Shreveport, I leave here a happy guy. I’m going to come to Shreveport just for the hell of it. I like it down here.”
As the laughter ensued, Beamer beamed, taking in his final moments as the face of Virginia Tech football.
