Eight months later, Frank Beamer has floated an excuse for Virginia Tech's 31-24 loss to Georgia in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. The coach believes that maybe, just maybe, Georgia had an extra set of eyes and ears near the Hokies' practices leading up to the game. "We practiced out at Georgia Tech and we let all kinds of people through there ... people we didn't really know," Beamer told The Roanoke Times. "And I thought it hurt us in the bowl game. I'm not blaming anybody ... but I thought Georgia knew exactly what we were doing in several situations." Georgia coach Mark Richt understood Beamer's concerns, but he also was quick to douse any rumors of espionage. -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
