BLACKSBURG – Four days ago, Frank Beamer made the announcement that he plans to retire after this season. Now, he and his coaches are game planning for next Thursday night’s game against Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
The Hokies have played at Georgia Tech six times, but this season’s game marks the 25th anniversary of the year in which Beamer coached against Georgia Tech for the first time as the Hokies’ head coach – and against one of his mentors, Bobby Ross.
In fact, Virginia Tech fans probably remember the game, a 6-3 contest won by the Yellow Jackets on Nov.
