Links For Frank Beamer's Birthday

Today is the 71st birthday of retired Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer, who now works as a special assistant to VT's Director of Athletics Whit Babcock, after saying "enough for one lifetime" during the 2015 season.  As I wish a "happy birthday" to Mr. Beamer, here are some other things going on out there:
