South Carolina Gamecocks (official thread)

Ex-Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer backs son against Hokies​

As it turns out, blood is thicker than longstanding school ties.

Just as Brent Pry predicted.

Former longtime Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer showed up for the Hokies' season opener on Sunday against South Carolina, which is coached by son Shane Beamer, wearing black to support the Gamecocks.

Pry, the current Virginia Tech coach, knew the older Beamer would have to support his son.

At last month's ACC Football Kickoff, Pry was asked about the opening game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium testing Frank Beamer's conflicting loyalties.

"He loves Virginia Tech an awful lot, but he loves his son first," Pry said with a chuckle. "I think if you ask Frank's wife, she'd be like, 'My son is where it's at, you kidding me?'"
