VA Tech - Classless?

cooper_gd · 01-02-2006, 03:16 PM

I've always been a fan of Beamer ball and the VT Hokies. AS a WVU fan, I always got geeked to play Tech (don't kid yourself, that is the real Backyard Brawl now) and always thought the two teams had an aggressive respect for each other.

Tech seems to have totally spiraled into The U type of trash actions. Several late hits, punches, and Lil' Vick trying to mob-knee a D-Lineman for Louisville.

I can't believe Beamer will tolerate this for long.

Real men watch Wisconsin-Auburn.

Real Parrots boycott all Wisconsin games.

I saw Vick stand up and then drive his spikes into the leg of a down defensive lineman. Cheap as hell, and wouldnt be shocked if someone went for Vicks knees if he keeps this **** up.

Tech has been spiraling towards their present state for a few years now. I agree, they're turning into another 'The U'.

Yes because Miami is the poster children for late hits and cheap shots.

No kidding. It's like someone should walk up to them and say "if you're ticked you're not in the BCS, it's because YOU didn't take care of your business...not Louisville."

It's picked back up... but even then, DeNiro has not been a good actor for over a decade but he still gets called on. A reputation is what it is.

Indeed. Last legit DeNiro performance, IMO: Heat. In 1995.

I don't know. I always thought he was a stand-up guy - but his teams get away from him from time to time. A team should (and used to) play Beamer ball without becoming jerks.

What do you expect from a school whose mascot is a castrated turkey?

It appears Beamer isn't tolerating it anymore.

"A no-character individual," Dumervil said after the game.

Funny how he wasn't considered a "no-character" guy when he got a 14 year old drunk to have sex with her, but he was "no-character" for stomping a guy in a football game.

Jonzard · 01-06-2006, 05:27 PM

Well it also appears he is in trouble for driving with a suspended liscence

Considering that the guy quoted as calling him no-character was the guy he stomped on, I'd say it's a fair thing to say. Unless the 14 year old was his sister, he probably cares more about one than the other.

Latest news is vick and the hokies are no more.

Hokies end ties with troubled QB VickAssociated Press

RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was dismissed from the team Friday, the result of numerous legal transgressions and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Toyota Gator Bowl.

AP/Phil Coale
Marcus Vick, eluding a Louisville defender in the Gator Bowl, stepped on the leg of another Cardinal player who tackled him in the first half.
University president Charles Steger announced the dismissal on the same day that coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother in their Hampton Roads home, the school said. Beamer informed them of the decision during the meeting.

Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, was suspended from school in 2004 for several legal problems. The junior came under new and intense scrutiny this week after replays showed he stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil during the Jan. 2 bowl.

No penalty was called on the play and Vick claimed its was accidental. He further hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, but the Louisville player said no such apology was ever offered.

On Friday, it was revealed that Vick had been stopped for speeding and driving with a revoked or suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17. Vick's license had been taken away last year when he was cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession in New Kent County.

Steger suspended Vick from school at that time, and warned that any additional problems would effectively end his time as a member of the Hokies' football team.

"The university provided one last opportunity for Vick to become a citizen of the university and readmitted him in January 2005, with the proviso that any future problems would result in automatic dismissal from the team," Steger said Friday.

Beamer said in a statement that he was disappointed with the outcome.

"I'm very disappointed that this didn't have a better ending," Beamer said in a statement. "We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus. I certainly wish him the best."

School officials said in a statement that there would be no further comment until a news conference on Saturday. Beamer, Steger and athletic director Jim Weaver, who said the stomping embarrassed the university, were all expected to attend.
