Timeline of Virginia Tech's Bowl Game Streak

Starting in 1993, lead by head coach Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech's football team has made it to a bowl game every single season. This is the second longest current bowl streak in the NCAA, FSU holds the number one spot with 34 consecutive appearances. Coach Beamer carried the Hokies through 23 consecutive bowl games, including one national championship in 2000. He coached his last bowl game where the streak started: the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was fitting to send the head coach of 29 years out with a win where his bowl streak began. Many people thought that the streak would end there and the program would have to start from scratch after losing their head coach. However, new head coach Justin Fuente has proven many skeptics wrong this season with his new upbeat offensive scheme. The Hokies once again became bowl eligible after beating Pittsburgh on October 27, and increasing their record to 6-2. If the team keeps up their momentum, the Hokies will make an appearance in the 2016 post season.
