The Virginia Tech Hokies finished the 2015 college football season with a 6-6 record. Fortunately for the Hokies, it was enough to go bowling for a 23rd consecutive season and send legendary head coach Frank Beamer into retirement on a positive note.
It was announced on Sunday, per Ava Wallace of the Washington Post, that the Hokies would be participating in the Camping World Independence Bowl. The irony of this appearance is Tech's bowl streak under Beamer began at the Independence Bowl back in 1993.
There were lots of highs and lows for Tech this season, from the loss of quarterback Michael Brewer in the season opener versus Ohio State to the disappointing loss to East Carolina for a second straight year.
