Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

“Thank God for Miami”-Frank Beamer

ESPN cameras caught it all, every fumble, every interception, every personal foul, every embarrassing bit.

There were Virginia Tech’s defensive players, including leaders Aaron Rouse and Vince Hall, pointing at each other and bickering after giving up the final touchdown. Later, inexplicably, there was linebacker Brenden Hill swaying as the band played “Sweet Caroline.”

“It’s been a little shaky in Blacksburg” Kirk Herbstreit noted after watching Hokie players fighting on the sidelines during the loss to Boston College. Is Frank Beamer losing control of his program? Or did he ever really have control of the program? Herbstreit further stated that the Hokies attracted players that were more interested in the NFL than Virginia Tech. The Hokies 10-34 record against top-10 teams should clearly demonstrate that the Lunch Pail Program (see below) might have a broken handle. Wanna read some funny shit?

The Lunch Pail’s History

  1. The Lunch Pail was created before the 1995 season.
  2. The Lunch Pail has been to 108 games and 13 straight Bowl games.
  3. It has held turf from 47 opponents’ fields.


The Lunch Pail proves that with hard work, comes heavy payoff.
Much like a workman’s lunch box, the VT lunch pail symbolizes
the Hokies’ blue-collar approach.

Work Ethic
Loyalty
Commitment
