His name is Marcus Vick and he needs to be taught a lesson. During Virginia Tech's victory over Louisville, the Hokie quarterback is caught stepping on the left leg of the Cardinals' best player, defensive end Elvis Dumervil. Vick says it was an accident. You can view the clip here. We see this as an attempt to injure an opponent and Vick needs to be dealt with by NCAA officials because Virginia Tech has shown little or no ability to discipline Vick unless absolutely forced to. Remember this? Vick flipping off the crowd at West Virginia? That was the same game he clocked a Mountaineer assistant on the sideline. But again, it was an accident. Those who were at the Gator Bowl are calling for action but expecting nothing will become of it, knowing the history of Virginia Tech and Vick. The quarterback could have been remembered for leading a comeback, instead he soiled the win. And they won't soon forget Vick's actions in Louisville (some registration).Update: Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver said the school plans to "review and assess this incident further and deal with it accordingly." We've heard this before. ...

I don't seem to remember this uproar over Christian Laittner's boot in 1991 against Kentucky...
if coach rogers was so upset, why didn't he yank him out of the game. doesn't seem like he even mentioned it to beamer during the game. words words words and no action. we shall see how va tech deals with this one.
