The Virginia Tech Hokies football team, since its creation in 1892, has played 27 post-season bowl games in 14 different stadiums across seven states. This includes five Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game appearances and one appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. As of the completion of the 2013 regular season schedule, the Hokies have been invited to a bowl game every year since 1993. This 21-year active streak of consecutive bowl appearances is the second longest such streak in the nation, second only to the Florida State Seminole’s 32 straight appearances and is the fifth longest all-time bowl appearance streak.〔(Current Consecutive Bowl Appearances ) College Football Data Warehouse, Accessed December 7, 2010.〕〔(Orange Bowl Media Guide ) Virginia Tech Sports Information, December 2007, Blacksburg, Virginia. Page 4. Accessed February 7, 2008.〕 Dozens of National Football League draft picks have played for Virginia Tech in bowl games, including two first-overall selections: Bruce Smith and Michael Vick. Smith participated in the 1984 Independence Bowl, while Vick quarterbacked the Hokies to their first national championship appearance during the 2000 Sugar Bowl, and followed that performance by leading the Hokies to the 2001 Gator Bowl, his final collegiate game. Following the game, Vick entered the 2001 NFL Draft and was selected by the Atlanta Falcons.〔San Diego opted to pass on the No. 1 selection, agreeing to a trade with Atlanta Falcons for their No. 5 selection. The Falcons took Virginia Tech QB Michael Vick to begin the 246-player draft. 〕 Since 1987, Frank Beamer has led the Hokies football team as the head coach. Beamer has led the Hokies to 21 consecutive bowl games starting in 1993 and the Independence Bowl. As of the completion of the 2013 season, Beamer and the Hokies have gone 9–12 in consecutive bowl appearances since 1993. Beamer has earned national coach of the year honors several times from various organizations, and has the most wins of any active Division I college football coach.〔(Frank Beamer ) Virginia Tech Athletics department, Hokiesports.com.
