I thought it was because their mascot is a turkey.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?

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".
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'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?

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.

Yea, but how many acc championships would we have won under CPJ if he had died in that fire?I'm not outraged, I'm just saying I don't really understand why people like to do it.

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