Getty ImagesWe’ve been doing our level-headed best to stay as as far away as we can from the “Harlem Shake” fad as we can… and then this happens.
Damn you, Frank Beamer. Damn you.
There’s really not much that needs to be said about this. The Virginia Tech football team became the latest to cannonball into the “Harlem Shake” pool with a video posted Monday morning, with their long-time head football coach making a 15-second appearance at the beginning of the clip that is spectacularly glorious.
Actually, “spectacular” and “glorious doesn’t even begin to describe the 66-year-old Beamer cutting a locker-room rug. Behold:

Your move, Paul Johnson.
Perhaps the best reaction came from Shane Beamer, Hokies assistant and son of the coach. Or, more specifically, from Shane Beamer’s young child.

Ha! that was a drop-the-mic moment for Beamer. Well done coach.
Love this!!!
Way to go Coach! You definitely ROCK!!!
Okay.. contest.. Bo Ryan vs Frank Beamer..
That is fantastic!
LOVE the dude on the cruches!!
I’ve gotten a little tired of seeing all these videos…. but for Beamer I’ll make an exception. GO HOKIES!!
I’m not a Hokies fan, but I gotta say that was hilarious! I always have respected Beamer for his special teams prowess! Love this! Props to coach Beamer!!!
Ahh…the untold delights of a 7-6 season.
Maybe you should be getting ready for Alabama?
That’s pretty dang good, but I don’t know if it’s as good as Bo Pelini doing the bernie during the Harlem Shake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cjG9y1gZ-s
Your Move Bill Snyder Your Move
