Notes from Independence Bowl news conference

Frank Beamer, Michael Brewer and Luther Maddy answered questions from the media at Thursday's news conference

SHREVEPORT, La. – Following a news conference on Christmas Eve, Virginia Tech quarterback Michael Brewer talked head coach Frank Beamer into a quick stop at What-A-Burger.

The Hokies’ retiring head coach ended up buying lunch for seven people, taking photos along the way. It was the latest event in a farewell tour that ends Saturday when the Hokies take on Tulsa in the Independence Bowl.

The gesture, and the morning, showed a coach relaxed and at peace in his final days as the head man.
