Virginia Tech Coach Frank Beamer Punched In The Head By Own Player

Virginia Tech Coach Frank Beamer Punched In The Head By Own Player

Cory Holt's probably going to pay for that one.

 

The Virginia Tech wide receiver got so excited during the game that he accidentally elbowed the hell out of head coach Frank Beamer. Accidentally... unless he's bitter about a lack of playing time.

False Alarm at Virginia Tech, But Good to Know Our Security System Works

After my 12:30PM class today, we were all packing up to leave the class when the monitor above our door (a new security device that has been placed in every single classroom on campus) read something like, "Sounds of Gunshots heard in Pritchard Hall.  Police are securing the building, no one in or out."  My class, made up of almost all seniors a...
