Yes, I lost all respect for Beamer by his continued pampering and catering to this thug. But, in hindsight, it does seem that Va. Tech has been a dirty team for several years now.
I've always supported VT (except when they play FSU) and been very impressed with Beamer. That all changed watching the ACC championship. The Tech players were nasty (how do you get 2 personal fouls when the other team is taking a knee??) and Beamer was a cry baby.
