There are things in life that are so ugly they become beautiful. A child's kindergarten art project, say, or scrambled eggs you make at 2 a.m. after a hard night out. Rarely do sports ascend to this level; generally when two football teams are engaged in the kind of awkward pillow fight that makes crowds boo and viewers tune out, someone seizes control and puts the other side out of everyone's misery.
There are things in life that are so ugly they become beautiful. A child’s kindergarten art project, say, or scrambled eggs you make at 2 a.m. after a hard night out.

Wake Forest, on the other hand, would have loved to be that unremarkable. The Demon Deacons hadn’t reached eight wins in half a decade, and as a result hired Clawson in 2014 to turn around the team. So by the time the gray days of late November rolled around, both teams were playing out the schedule, any hopes of championships or marquee bowls long gone.
Wake kicker Mike Weaver had chances; he missed four field goal attempts in regulation, including a re-kick after a penalty and a potential game-winner at the end of regulation. When the clock hit zeroes and the Deacons still hadn't scored, Beamer raised his arms in exultation … andOvertime wasn’t much better. The teams combined to run 18 plays for a total of nine yards, but at least this time there was some scoring.
The Beamer 0-0 meme is perfect for celebrating the most mediocre achievement possible — brushing your teeth three days in a row, say, or showing up to a 1 p.m. class on time. "I did not share this information with anyone, including our student-athletes, anyone on the coaching staff, or my father, nor did we use the information in the game,"."I realize I made a serious mistake in judgment by accepting the information and failing to notify officials at Virginia Tech of the communications."
