They did what?!?!?!

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news 2 days in a row... but our school has dismissed Marcus Vick today leaving me befuddled and the future of our great football team full of uncertainty. See for yourself by clicking the links below:

Virginia Tech's statement

As disappointed as I am, what it comes down to is, he got a second chance and if he were smart about it, he would have done everything he could to stay on the team and at our school. Yeah, he's a great quarterback and definately one of our opponents biggest threats, but I don't want somebody like him representing my school if they're going to conduct themselves the way he has throughout the season and not just at the Gator bowl (ex. the unsportsmanlike conduct at the WVU game - that was uncalled for). Though this is a sad loss for us, we've got a strong team, great younger players, one great coach who will probably recruit someone even better. It's just sad to see this is how it unfolded.
