Good.

I mean, it’s sad really. Marcus was given all graces but he abused them all and now he’s out. This kid had such a bright future. He can still redeem it, but he won’t do it as a Hokie.

Vick has been a real ninny. Good for VT stepping up and doing the right thing.

UPDATE: Dennis Dodd of CBS Sportsline opines about Marcus and the Vick name.

UPDATE: I’ve been thinking about this more and one thing still concerne me: Marcus was arrested before the bowl game and still played. Did VT bow to media pressure? Why lay low about it until after the game?

I prefer the word "dookie" instead.

So according to that article it seems only Beemer knew, not the admin. Sigh. This whole thing is a mess. I see Vick as a mid-round draft pick unless he does really well in the combines.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news - but that is a bag of doo-doo. CBS reports that Beamer knew of the ticket on Dec 19th. The article is here.

Good catch, Jack. Thanks. That makes me feel better about the admin at VT.

Rob, according to the VT press release:

"Yesterday afternoon, it came to our attention that Vick was charged in Hampton on December 17 exceeding the speed limit and with driving on a suspended or revoked license. It was not posted by the Hampton Court until January 5…the day before we became aware of it."
