Virginia Tech Head Football Coach Frank Beamer was in New York City on Saturday, April 21, to thank the NFL for its support of the Virginia Tech Hokies family in the wake of the tragedy on April 16. Beamer canceled the Hokies annual spring football game because he didn’t feel it was appropriate – no one disagreed.
Beamer was accompanied by former Hokies Bruce Smith (1981-84), DeAngelo Hall (2001-03), Michael Vick (1998-2001). Below is the video from that ceremony, which is prefaced by a short memorial by ESPN.
