Virginia Tech kicks Marcus Vick off the football team

[Thom Little]

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

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.

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.

3. Stomped on a downed player's leg, I hear.

He was an embarrasment. Very few, if any, current or recent students will miss him.

Vick Senior will always be a Hokie.

Vick Minor never was.

4. He stomped on an opposing player who was on the ground.

Very blatant, and obviously with malice.

6. He pulled a Laettner

As a player on the other team was lying on the ground, Vick stomped on his calf. It looked, nonchalant and intentional--pretty outrageous.

5. sadly

we probably haven't heard the last about that stupid shit

[sasquatch]

7. Him and Maurice Clarett should play in the CFL

They can be the dynamic duo assholes of Canada. Sort of like Jeff George & Lawrence Phillips except less talented.

8. Good, he's an asshole.

Must run in the Mexico family.

[Squatch]

9. I hope he doesn't get picked up in the draft.

He's a no-class hack.

10. it was revealed on Friday that he was stopped BEFORE the bowl game

Well, isn't it convenient that this information doesn't come out until after the bowl game, considering Vick was already on double secret probation. Va Tech sure wants to win football games :eyes:
