Bud Foster, Now Making Negative $6 Million

Aug 21, 2009, 8:00 PM UTC

Here’s an innovative way to pay for a new stadium in an era of economic belt-tightening:â†µâ†µâ‡¥Frank Beamer is now levying fines on any member of his staff who isâ†µâ‡¥caught using potty-mouth (improper language) while on the job,â†µâ‡¥especially while in the company of the players. The fines are, $10,â†µâ‡¥$20 and $50.â†µâ†µâ†µ(Thank you for the clarification on what a “potty mouth” consists of,â†µanonymous BeamerBall.com blogger.) Blacksburg is about to look likeâ†µDubai, what with all the construction the Virginia Tech athleticâ†µdepartment is about to undertake. There will be a roof made ofâ†µelephants, and no building underneath. There will be a room in whichâ†µartificial snow is generated and it will only operate in January. Theyâ†µwill build a giant statue of a cat with cheese on its face. Defensive coordinator Bud Foster will look upon it all and send his kids to community college.â†µ

â†µâ†µThis is the prediction here, no matter the public stance that only threeâ†µfines have been levied. The information here comes from the official site ofâ†µFrank Beamer, not an objective site run by Actual Journalists. Theâ†µtruth is out there, and it is a diabolical plan to create a Godzillatronâ†µso large it falls through the crust of the earth. It is not 70â†µdollars that might go towards a pizza party.â†µ

â†µBeamer on the change:â†µ

â†µâ†µâ‡¥“We’re supposed to be setting the example for our players here atâ†µâ‡¥Virginia Tech and if we, as coaches, make a conscious effort to tryâ†µâ‡¥and always conduct ourselves professionally, I hope our players willâ†µâ‡¥see that and follow along. Also, we have accountability in thisâ†µâ‡¥program. I personally don’t like to hear profanity and since we’reâ†µâ‡¥all college graduates on this staff, I’m confident we can come upâ†µâ‡¥with more suitable terms to communicate with. Bottom line, theâ†µâ‡¥football field is our workplace, our job, and just like at any otherâ†µâ‡¥working environment, you want that to be as professional asâ†µâ‡¥possible. It’s something that happens rarely (profanity), but I’veâ†µâ‡¥drawn attention to it because I’d like for it not to happen at all.”â†µâ†µâ†µThe looming question is whether it’s Rich Rodriguez or Nick Saban whoâ†µwould surpass the national debt with his own potty-mouth (improperâ†µlanguage) fines if hypothetically installed as a Beamer assistant. Givenâ†µthe projections for the upcoming season, it’s probably Rodriguez.â†µ
