I am sure that this will be dealt with in only the harshest terms by the VT Administration. No question that a suspention against Conn or Rutgers will be in order here....

First game is Sept. 2nd against 1-10 (0-10 vs. 1-A) Kent State...I have no doubt Beamer will lay the hammer down and sit him for at least 4 plays...maybe even 6. In fact, maybe he'll only play a half....the first half, when Va Tech gets up 51-0, and then Vick will sit in the second half, and Beamer will claim that is a suspension.

Only his last name will get him out of this...like everything else.

Marcus Vick has had tons of off the field problems coming into the season, and there have been problems during the season...it's obviously a pattern. This is horrible.

What Robert Reynolds did was embaressing and bad, but he got suspended, learned his lesson, and it was a one time thing.

With Vick this seems to be the norm. I don't care if they suspend him or not, because he's not that good, and he's not a leader.

Exactly. It is not as much as this just being the one incident where he is getting in trouble in, it is a series of incidents. First, the situation that got him suspended for a season with the underage girls, and then I believe he had some marijuanna charges against him. Then you get him flicking off fans in West Virginia, getting personal fouls left and right for unsportsmanlike conduct, and then now he kicks/stomps on a player after the play while he is on the ground. Marcus Vick is a complete idiot, a thug, and it would be an insult to have him playing for your football team.

I usually don't bring stuff from other boards, but this post, cut and pasted from a VaTech site was too good to pass up:

I think everyone is blowing the Marcus Vick "stomp"...

of purportion. I meam come on, quarterbacks get cheap shotted all the time and when vick gets tackled you can see defensive players trying to take shots. I thinks its about time a qb started to fight back. That defensive player was prolly talking a lot of ish, but they won't talk about that. As far as vick being overrated, I think he did pretty good for not playing in a year being a first year starter and playing with young receivers. He lead tech to 11 wins and a top 10 finish. at the end of the day, its not his fault he's michael vicks brother and its not his fault everybody compares him to his brother and its not his fault he was hyped up by the very people taking shots at him now.

Now, to their credit, basically everyone on the thread and the board from VTU condemned this post and this attitude (kinda refreshing), but....holy cow.

No way, No change, no how was that an accident. None. That should be reviewed by the ACC conference and I honestly think he should be suspended for a couple of games for that.

I have said many times that their coach either teaches the players to play dirty or looks the other way while someone else does the teaching. This isn't the first time by FAR that there have been instances of very dirty play by VaTech.

The media has a love fest with this seemingly every year because they have a good record until they actually have to play a good team and promptly gets whooped. They over look all of the negative stuff.

Beamer is an a$$. Bad karma will come back at him threefold.

Not on this board, but we don't trash our players on this board. I thought Rob should have been suspended for the rest of the year after his stunt. I think kicking him off the team might have been a little severe, but if that was what JT would have done, I would not have been very upset. I support Rob Reynolds because he is still a former buckeye, but he acted like a thug that day, and did serious harm to the reputation of the university.

One major distinction you have not mentioned is that Rob Reynolds acted like a thug once. Marcus Vick has acted like a thug many times. Marcus Vick IS a thug. That is the main difference to me.

Go check out Robert Reynolds try to twist off Kellen Winslow Jr.'s ankle in the NC game. He was always a hot head and I think we're lucky thats the worst think he did.

If I recall, he was involved in a house fire at some point and the skin over most of his body had to be repaired. Something along those lines, I think.

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything official. There were several different allegations of whay happened, including:

-result of a car accident
-injury from Vietnam
-house fire as a youth
-injury from a kerosene heater exploding next to him as a youth.

It's hard to get a definitive answer, but regardless, it's hardly a good reson to mock a person.


EDIT - here is what I found at techsideline.com

[QUOTE]Beamer grew up on a 70-acre farm in Fancy Gap, Va. In 1954, when he was seven years old, he used a push broom to help keep a pile of burning trash in place. When the job was done he returned the broom to the garage, unaware that its brushes were still smoldering. A spark ignited a can of nearby gasoline, which exploded in front of him. His 11-year old brother, Barrett, saved him by rolling him around on the ground, but Frank was left with burns on the right side of his neck, chest and his shoulders. Over the next few years he endured dozens of painful skin grafts and was left with permanent scarring[/QUOTE]
