Good post appro. I was very disappointed with the way V Tech played that game. There were numerous cheap shots in addition to Vick's blatant thuggery. I never thought that I'd see a another college team out do the old Miami gangster behavior but I'm afraid that V Tech may have done it. Beamer does some great things with the talent that he has but I'm not a fan of the way he lets so many off and on the field issues slide. It's nice to win but the image of the University is more important. V Tech did nothing to enhance their image.

University President Charles Steger Statement on Marcus Vick January 6, 2006 Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has been permanently dismissed from the Hokie football program due to a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play. Virginia Tech had suspended Vick in 2004. The university provided one last opportunity for Vick to become a citizen of the university and re-admitted him in January 2005, with the proviso that any future problems would result in automatic dismissal from the team. Head Football Coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother this afternoon and informed the quarterback and his family of the University's decision. His recent actions are unfortunate and we wish him well in his future endeavors. **** Said Coach Frank Beamer, "I'm very disappointed that this didn't have a better ending. We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus. I certainly wish him the best." hokiesports.com
