And look at that, the Hokies are back in the Independence Bowl, just like back in 1993 when the whole bowl streak and legacy of Frank Beamer began. Twenty-three straight seasons is some kind of amazing record. The bowls haven't always been the best, but we've been, and continue to be, awfully proud of our streak here in Blacksburg. The thing is, and this is in no way looking a gift horse in the mouth or saying that we are unhappy to be doing something that in so many ways has real historical significance, especially to those of us who remember the 1993 Independence Bowl, but with so few fans able to or willing to go to Shreveport the day after Christmas, it feels as though it might be a quiet goodbye for Frank, and that in itself is a little unfortunate.
The Independence Bowl for the 2015 Hokies...yay?
