Coaches had to put a dollar in a cigar box if they used profanity at practice. The story is that one day practice wasn't going so hot, so he stormed down from the tower, walked passed the cigar box, through in a $100 bill and said, "Run me a tab!"

The future is right now. The profanity thing cracks me up. Bud is going to need a big raise. My opinion remains that when Frank jerked the RS off Tyrod in 07, that told us how long he plans to coach.

When the Chessmaster leaves the hallowed Grounds after this season, recruiting the state of Virginia may become dicier for Beamer and crew. Any reasonable coach with a personality may well sway recruits to Mr. Jefferson's school. After all, UVA does have the name behind it, the tradition and aura that is University of Virginia - right or wrong. On another front, that image you see in the distance may not be the Georgia Dome. It may be Nick Satan's halo you are seeing. Finally, I guess Frank is now at the age where he is anticipating his own demise one day. Perhaps he is preparing to take that long, dark walk through that lonesome valley that only he can take. Accordingly, he is trying to clean up the legacy he leaves behind, not to mention grease that valley a bit so its easier to traverse. Silly? Perhaps, but WTF other reason could there be????? Stupid if you ask me. Perhaps, as an alternative he could give $250,000 to starving children around the world. Jim,

After all, UVA does have the name behind it, the tradition and aura that is University of Virginia – right or wrong.
