How Beamer Way Began: Dutch’s Game-Changing Hire
Hokie Nation, ever wonder how Beamerball became legend? It all started in ‘86 when Dutch Baughman, a Texas rancher with Woody Hayes roots, picked Frank Beamer over bigger names. Dutch saw something special in Beamer’s character—integrity, grit, and a real love for Tech. That call set the stage for decades of Hokie pride and the Beamer family legacy. Without Dutch’s gutsy move, there’s no Beamer Way, no Shane on the sidelines, and no statue outside Lane. Sometimes, it’s not about the flashiest name, but the right one.
