On an unrelated note, I just found out minutes ago I'm distantly related to Coach Beamer but my source didn't tell me how, lol.

I met him several years ago. He seemed genuinely nice. I heard that following last week's tragedy, he visited hospitalized victims as well as some of the families of students who were killed. From what I gather, he is extremely down to earth and just an all-round good person. I've wondered what the first football game is going to be like next season. The baseball game last week was evidently quite a healing time for everyone involved.

Yesterday I found out that my ex was really good friends with one of the victims. I felt really bad-my ex hates me and doesn't talk to me anymore, but that doesn't stop me from caring.

BLACKSBURG, Virginia (CNN) -- Monday's toll inside Virginia Tech's Norris Hall might have included 11 more students had it not been for a long, rectangular table and a quick-thinking senior who used it to deflect the rampage of his fellow classmate.

This seems to answer several questions; some of which were asked with in this thread:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Seung-Hui Cho took just nine minutes to fire more than 170 rounds of ammunition as he gunned down dozens of his fellow students and staff at Virginia Tech last week, police said on Wednesday.
Police provided new details about how Cho killed 30 other people at Norris Hall on April 16, the deadliest such massacre in modern U.S. history, before killing himself as police raced up the stairs of the classroom building.
