Coach Beamer visited the 757 today to speak at Tidewater Council’s Breakfast of Champions. He’s a very nice guy in person.
“MVP Level” donors received a commemorative “100th year of Scouting” football, which Coach autographed on the spot.

IT’S FOOTBALL TIME IN HAMPTON ROADS
THE THROW…
March 23, 2010 marks the 10th Annual Tidewater Council, Boy Scouts of America’s Breakfast of Champions. Game day starts with breakfast at 7:15 AM leading up to this year’s featured speaker, Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer!
THE TOUCHDOWN…
The Breakfast of Champions is a unique fundraising event in that there is no ticket price for attendance. Rather, attendees come to the breakfast, hear a brief story of Scouting and enjoy the morning with featured speaker Frank Beamer. Attendees are asked to make a contribution to Scouting of whatever they feel comfortable giving. Because most people wait until the day of the breakfast to make their donation, a Player’s Scorecard (Donation Form) is available at each place setting. There are several suggested giving levels provided on this form, the bottom line request being $167, the cost to support one youth in Scouting for one year. As a special recognition, anyone contributing $365 or more will receive a football to be autographed by Coach Beamer at the event. The minimum contribution to attend the breakfast should be $50.00 to cover the cost of the event per person.
TEAM STATS
As you probably know, the mission of the Tidewater Council is to provide a quality year-round Scouting program to our over 9,000 youth, their parents and over 4,000 adult volunteers throughout Hampton Roads. What you may not know is that donations from the community are the Tidewater Council’s primary funding source for operations. In short, this mission cannot survive without each of you!

With its win over NC State, Tech has clenched a finish of no worse than 5th in the ACC. Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Florida State will all play one final game to determine our exact finish. Winning on the road at Georgia Tech would assure us of the all-important first round bye; if we lose, then we would need for WFU to beat Clemson.
Different people are of different opinions about whether or not we are better off, if we lose to GT, with playing the opening round game. I’m of the opinion we are not – we are going to get little, if any credit from the NCAA for beating the last place team and a loss would absolutely ensure we make a third straight NIT trip.
My personal opinion is that with a win over GT, we’re in and with a loss, we would need to make it to the finals in the ACC tournament.
Below, for anyone who really cares, are all of the scenarios:
Scenario #1: VT over GT and Miami over FSU
If Virginia Tech wins @Georgia Tech this weekend, and Florida State LOSES @Miami, we will finish third. After our first round bye, we will play the winner of the 6-11 game. In this scenario, North Carolina would most likely finish #11 and Wake Forest would finish #6. So we would get the winner of that game.
Scenario #2: VT over GT and FSU over Miami
In this scenario, we would finish fourth and would play the winner of the 5-12 game. The 12-seed is going to be Miami in this scenario and the 5-seed would be the winner of Saturday night’s game between Clemson and Wake Forest.
Scenario #3: GT over VT, Miami over FSU, and WFU over Clemson
In a four-way tie among VT, GT, FSU, and Clemson, Tech would finish fourth in the conference and again, play the winner of the 5-12 game. Florida State, who beat Virginia Tech in the only meeting of the two teams this year, would be our opponent. Either North Carolina State or Miami would be the 12-seed.
Scenario #4: GT over VT, Clemson over WFU
Regardless of the outcome of FSU’s game with Miami we would finish fifth. Our opening round game would be against either by the NCSU or Miami and if we win this opening round game, we would get a rematch with FSU.
Scenario #5: GT over VT, FSU over Miami, WFU over Clemson
Tech would finish in a three-way tie for fourth with Clemson and Wake, having beaten both teams earlier in the season. Tech would get the 4-seed and would face the winner of #5 Wake Forest or #12 NCSU or Miami.
