I thought it was because their mascot is a turkey.

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure it's referring to the baggy skin on his neck that was a result of the burning. He had to have dozens of skin grafts. That's why people call him "turkey neck".

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, I say. I'm sure Frank has a pretty thick skin for this subject. When everyone else is talking jive, he's out there talking turkey I'll see myself out

I've never really understood why people like to make these jokes. It's basically making fun of the fact that he was severely burned and almost died as a little kid, right?

Are you gonna try to stick with this fake outrage? Are you saying VT has a turkey mascot to make fun of Frank Beamer?

I'm not outraged, I'm just saying I don't really understand why people like to do it. I know his neck looks like a turkey's neck, but I've never been able to find it funny since it's a result of him being severely burned and almost dying as a child.

I mean, maybe if he was the U[sic]GA coach.

Could have something to do with him constantly whining about blocking rules that made him a target. Maybe.

I'm offended that you could see Beamer's neck in a picture of a turkey.

Yea, but how many acc championships would we have won under CPJ if he had died in that fire?
 
Paul Johnson: 66.9% Winning Percentage
Frank Beamer: 65.6% Winning Percentage

I assume they're honoring Paul Johnson at the Belk Bowl.

Can we get a pic of Beamer's skin graft? IIRC, it looks nothing like a turkey's neck.
