I'm in 100% agreement on what Copeland's mom said, but her action of walking out on her own son's special moment was too much. It would've been better if they handled that matter after the ceremony and out of the public eye.

@@AR18123 well my friend is his cousin and he told me that he told his mom he would pick Bama. What she did was wrong but I understand because she felt her son made a terrible mistake that did ruin his life. UF was the wrong decision

@@Anukinihun "he told his mom he would pick Bama" So he straight up lied to her. I'd be pissed too.

Urban belongs in prison for some of the shenanigans he pulled with UF

I agree, she should’ve handled it better, but she just wanted what was best for her son

Respect as a VT fan

Let’s go mountaineers

Agreed. I kind of felt bad for Justin fuente. You don't want to replace a legend, and beamer certainly was a legend. To be open, I'm a Memphis fan and we are eternally grateful for what he did for our program. This is not like when calipari left for Kentucky and we hated him. We wanted him to do well at Virginia tech. What I never understood was how Memphis got better and Virginia tech got worse with the fan base and the money and the history Va Tech had. I think it was fair to say that Memphis would have beaten Virginia Tech every year except maybe one after he left, as we were routinely ranked in the top 25 and even had a Cotton Bowl appearance. Good luck to coach fuente wherever he goes next

Mountaineer gang

As a UVA fan, I have the same sentiment

Wasn’t the most successful coach but definitely one of the most loved coaches

@@regurgitatedapplez7388 “successful” by college athletic standards doesnt really mean sh*t. Coach Calipari is one of the worst coaches in the country but according to his resumé you would call him successful but thats only because he ends up getting the best players in the country to play on his team. With all of these too teams like Alabama, you could put 100 different coaches coaching those same players and still end up with the same record as Saban, maybe even better. Saban might be a bad example but you get what I’m saying. If you can get 20 of the top 50 players in the country on your team while other teams get 1 player in the top 50 players in the country, its not exactly being a great coach is why your “successful”. College sports is joke in that way. If you actually compared how good of a coach Calipari is compared to some coaches who have barely a .500 winning percentage. You would think Calipari is the way better coach and thats why he “successful” when in actuality those .500 coaches are 10 times better of a coach he is. This is why Calipari gets knocked out by a 15 seed as a 2 seed, its why he loses the crucial games, because hes such a bad coach that even with some of the best players he still cant win. And when he does win its because his players dod everything for him. His championship team I believe he had his whole starting 5 go in the NBA 1st round (never been done), he had like 2 or 3 straight NBA rookies of year on his team in college (Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans). When he did coach in the NBA he was garbage and lasted like 1 year because that was more of even playing field. Thats why you see these “great college coaches” try to go to the pro league and get eaten alive. Winning percentage for a coach doesnt mean sh*t for how good you are as a coach in all the major college sports.

@@Keyser___Soze ok cool

Coming from a lifetime Tech fan, they did him and his son wrong for not hiring him, and they are hurting now as a program for it, in my opinion…

@@Pop_Richie fax

It has been said that if the bus broke down while in the state of Michigan, Woody would have the team push the bus(es) over the state border rather than refilling it. Because that fraction of a fraction of a cent that U of M gets from public spending and gas taxes would be supporting U of M.

@@TrinityShoji yeah fuck the blue

Beamer was just a stand up guy. Loyal, kind and a second father to many of his athlete

gaey lmao

Im a massive GA Tech fan, I hate yall's guts, but man, I can't hate Beamer, especially not after hearing that story.

Nowhere near my first, but very near the best.

that's hella funny

Not sure what he’s doing but I looked on Twitter and he apparently was inducted into the VT hall of fame last year if I’m not mistaken!

Was he there during the Kenny bell block

@@robdavis4951 Kenny bell block was 2012, Taylor was a freshman in 16

He’ll do better soon.

piques not peaks

@@Augfordpdoggie wow I've never known that lol, thanks

@@yoFACTOR you are welcome ;)

I always thought it was “peaked” or “peaks” like it heightened my interest, it was the top of my interest, high point top of mountain in my interest level. It almost still works for the definition of “peak”. This is the one word that people probably mess up that still almost works with the wrong word being used. Thanks for correcting that so now I know. Side note, I dont know why people get so angry when someone corrects them. Why would you want to continue to keep doing it wrong? Most people get so mad and defensive especially when they correct their spelling or grammar. I’ve never understood that. You have to be extremely insecure, sensitive and unintelligent to get mad when someone helps you to correct yourself so you dont continue to make the same mistake.

@@Keyser___Soze Definition of pique (Entry 1 of 3) transitive verb 1a: to excite or arouse especially by a provocation, challenge, or rebuff sly remarks to pique their curiosity

That's why the system eats so many up.

Lmao what u mean 'his fault'?

Pretty sure if he went to bama he would be big didnt hear about dude after moms did that

@@billblaski9523 lmao keep defending stupid decisions im sure that will work out for you

​@@billblaski9523he lied to his mom and told her he was going to Bama. She also didn't want him to go to UF because of the trouble he might get into which eventually did happen so that's how it was his fault

nah it’s not her decision where he goes. She needs to suck it up

Probably smarter for him to use it first. It pulls you in and makes you want to keep watching.

@@Ryan-wx1bi I can see that. At the same time his endings are typically designed to be as powerful as possible, with that powerful outro music

At a Touchdown Club meeting many years before his death, Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant told the following story: "I had just been named the new head coach at Alabama and was off in my old car down in South Alabama recruiting a prospect who was supposed to have been a pretty good player and I was havin' trouble finding the place. Getting hungry I spied an old cinder block building with a small sign out front that simply said "Restaurant." "I pull up, go in and every head in the place turns to stare at me. Seems I'm the only white fella in the place. But the food smelled good so I skip a table and go up to a cement bar and sit. A big ole man in a tee shirt and cap comes over and says, "What do you need?" I told him I needed lunch and what did they have today? He says, "You probably won't like it here, today we're having chitlins, collared greens and black eyed peas with cornbread. I'll bet you don't even know what chitlins are, do you?" I looked him square in the eye and said, "I'm from Arkansas, I've probably eaten a mile of them. Sounds like I'm in the right place." They all smiled as he left to serve me up a big plate. When he comes back he says, "You ain't from around here then?" "I explain I'm the new football coach up in Tuscaloosa at the University and I'm here to find whatever that boy's name was and he says, yeah I've heard of him, he's supposed to be pretty good. And he gives me directions to the school so I can meet him and his coach. As I'm paying up to leave, I remember my manners and leave a tip, not too big to be flashy, but a good one and he told me lunch was on him, but I told him for a lunch that good, I felt I should pay. The big man asked me if I had a photograph or something he could hang up to show I'd been there. I was so new that I didn't have any yet. It really wasn't that big a thing back then to be asked for, but I took a napkin and wrote his name and address on it and told him I'd get him one and shook his hand and left." "I met the kid I was lookin' for later that afternoon and I don't remember his name, but do remember I didn't think much of him when I met him. I had wasted a day, or so I thought. When I got back to Tuscaloosa late that night, I took that napkin from my shirt pocket and put it under my keys so I wouldn't forget it. Back then I was excited that anybody would want a picture of me. The next day we found a picture and I wrote on it, "Thanks for the best lunch I've ever had." "Now let's go a whole buncha years down the road. Now we have black players at Alabama and I'm back down in that part of the country scouting an offensive lineman we sure needed. Y'all remember, (and I forget the name, but it's not important to the story), well anyway, he's got two friends going to Auburn and he tells me he's got his heart set on Auburn too, so I leave empty handed and go on see some others while I'm down there." "Two days later, I'm in my office in Tuscaloosa and the phone rings and it's this kid who just turned me down, and he says, "Coach, do you still want me at Alabama?" And I said, "Yes I sure do." And he says OK, he'll come. And I say, "Well son, what changed your mind?" And he said, "When my grandpa found out that I had a chance to play for you and said no, he pitched a fit and told me I wasn't going nowhere but Alabama, and wasn't playing for nobody but you. He thinks a lot of you and has ever since y'all met." Well, I didn't know his granddad from Adam's house cat so I asked him who his granddaddy was and he said, "You probably don't remember him, but you ate in his restaurant your first year at Alabama and you sent him a picture that he's had hung in that place ever since. That picture's his pride and joy and he still tells everybody about the day that Bear Bryant came in and had chitlins with him."

BTW, From an Alabama fan, congrats on the national championship! Ya'll earned & deserved it!

@@joelee4605 Thank you I appreciate it 👍

He did he has like 3 videos from Michigan losing and 3 way tie in the big 12

Honestly as a SMU fan, our program would be a interesting topic, just the rise, and fall, and the rise back up would be interesting for a whole video

ESPN already did a 30 for 30 on them, it's pretty cool.

I mean they penalized Nebraska when Eric Crouch ate a ham and cheese sandwich on a flight before his junior year in 2000 so who knows.

The Texas line actively made him angry, and he played some of his best games against UT, IIRC.

He’s been sticking to that line for 40 years and always has a big smile on his face when he tells it 😅
