I disagree. I think such behavior is ridiculous and immature. Moreover, it reflects poorly on Va. Tech when their coaches didn't pull him from the game, suspend him, or even address the behavior in the days following the game. Unless some sort of disciplinary action is taken (even if it's just pulling him from a series or a few plays or extra running after practice), such poor behavior will continue.

I can see the argument for flipping the bird, to me it's just not a big deal. The flipping the ball thing I saw at least 5 times this weekend in college and pro games. He didn't throw it at him, and if it hadn't hit the guy in the facemask it wouldn't have been a penalty. By themselves they were; a dumb mistake and something rather benign....but for the elbow. I think grad is right. That says to me he is a little unstable. I was thinking Randy Moss, but Lawrence Phillips could be more like it. I was originally thinking of Robert Reynolds, who I felt should have been kicked off the team, despite the fact that he was a good guy. Marcus Vick is hardly a good guy, and what it appears he did to that coach is at least as bad as the choking incident.

My comments were based on his entire record...I have my doubts about the coach thing.

For one, it was a very hostile game...tons of trashtalk on both sides. Trust me, the WVU players were doing just as much as VT.

Next, it is a huge rivalry game with a recent history. For Vick to have any contact with the coach, he had to have been out of bounds on the WVU sideline...not a good place to be in noted environment.

Finally, considering noted environment and hostile sideline, I could definitely see Vick nudging, pushing, squirming his way off that sideline as fast as possible with an array of rips and swims...elbow to the back of the head? Entirely possible. Intentional? That would have to be proven to me. Rodriguez is trying to tell us that 20+ loyal players watched their coach get elbowed to the head and not one jumped in reaction or protection?

Vick is a piece of work and not very bright if he wants to risk his future...but I really don't think he is that stupid.

WHat I find amusing is that the article doesn't state why he was arrested twice and suspended from Va Tech last season.

When is the last time you saw an article about Troy Smith that didn't mention that he was suspended for two games for accepting money from a booster.

No one ever talks about what Marcus did last year to get suspended.

How do you know there was no discipline? It was probably handled in-house.

You're right. It might have been handled in-house. My point is that if this weekend at PSU, a Buckeye scores a TD and then flips off the crowd, I woudl be disgusted. I would feel that such a gesture reflects poorly on our football program and our university. I would want Tressel to publicly address the issue, if for no other reason than to let the media and the nation know that such behavior is unacceptable to the football program as well as the university and state of Ohio that it represents. So, you're right--maybe Beamer handled it in-house. I just know that I wouldn't want such a reaction from my coach as it possibly implies a lack of concern of a problem.

Marcus Vick discussion (merged)

Havent seen this posted here, but I know their are alot of people here that hate Va Tach so here it is.

http://media.putfile.com/VT-THUG-1

Vick said it was an accident(despite the fact that he distinctly looked down), and that he apologized to Dumervil after the game(despite the fact that Dumervil said that he didnt.) Vick has been in trouble off the field drinking with underage girls, and on the field, flicking of the WVU crowd, and this stuff right here. How much can a guy get away with??? :shake:

And while the media was constantly trashing Troy Smith for taking $500 from a booster, they were simultaneously applauding Marcus Vick for overcoming so much (self-made) adversity in his life....

VPI is the northern branch of The U.

I saw this on PTI after work this afternoon (they made a comparison to the multiplicity of problems at The U: Blacksburg) and it was the first I had heard of it...this needs to be looked into and VTech should be suspending him.

If VTech doesn't do it, the NCAA or ACC needs to step in, this was a blatant attempt to hurt someone and could possibly have cost Dumervil millions of dollars if Vick would have succeeded in trying to injure him.

Ridiculous

To put it simply, Marcus Vick is a thug, unlike his brother. However, the media will just keep praising him. Hes done a lot of obnoxious things on the football field that he hasnt been punished for, its ridiculous.

In Beamer ball...he can get away with plenty...sanctions will need to come from the league or NCAA...Beamer will look the other way :(

I'd like to see that overrated thug pull that shit in the league. Ray Lewis et al would educate him medieval style.

Anyone else getting the vibe that the Vick's stocks are dropping? The Falcons look pretty good with Matt Schaub at the helm. Mike is a TO machine it seems. And Marcus might not be reaching the potential at VT that the experts expected.
