I know the school was probably worried since his brother donates so much $$$ to the school, but so do other alumni. From the beginning, Marcus has tried to ride on the coat tail of his brother's success. I guess he thought everyone should kiss his ass and he should be able to do what he wants because of his brother. Well, he'll have another thing coming in the NFL. They won't put up with his crap and his nasty "I'm better than everyone" attitude. That's obvious by the post about him on the airplane. I know for a fact that VT students DO NOT like Marcus because of his attitude. They have never embraced him like they did his brother. He came into that school demanding to be treated the like the star he didn't prove he could be. Let's face it, the attention he has gotten is because of his brother. Look out NFL, you've got another Terrell Owens coming you way if anyone's crazy enough to draft him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-1136766154318687562006-01-08T16:22:00.000-08:002006-01-08T16:22:00.000-08:00before the thug stomping --- I was on a plane with...before the thug stomping --- I was on a plane with Marcus (who was wearing his VT stocking cap) when he refused to turn off his cell phone when the stewardess requested it 3 times. We all had to wait while he pretended to turn it off. In the middle of the landing his phone rang. He called the stewardess a b-tc- and when I heard 2 days later he was accused of the stomp, based just on that observation, I believed it. And maybe VT is a good school ---- but Marcus Vick and Marquise Cooke sure make it look like a school for dumb jocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-1136765786024229762006-01-08T16:16:00.000-08:002006-01-08T16:16:00.000-08:00The NFL can have him.

Even with several bad calls neither team's coaching staff complianed; setting examples for the players to live up to. Thanks to the president and AD Tech hopefully is headed in the right direction.

Team owners look for some of the best players, knowing that they are self-absorbed jerks. The NFL will pick him up, make him a star, and get rid of him when they have had enough of his antics. We (fans) need to stop buying into these players egos by refusing to support them and demanding the NFL/NCAA owners immediately put a stop to their poor behaviors. Funny! I don't see these problems with the superior teams, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-1136740200183454822006-01-08T09:10:00.000-08:002006-01-08T09:10:00.000-08:00It is unfortunate that Marcus Vick let things come...It is unfortunate that Marcus Vick let things come to this point. He made a series of mistakes, and I credit both the University and Frank Beamer for giving a promising young athlete a second chance. Marcus, unfortunately, lost his early season self-control and determination to prove that his second chance wasn't a mistake. I also applaud VT and Coach Beamer for drawing the line after the Gator Bowl, deciding that a second chance was not carte blanche to do as one liked. Unsportsmanlike conduct of that degree is unconscionable, at any level of play. Finally, for all of Marcus' bravado, I think reality will still hit him in the face during the draft, when he realizes how far down in the draft he gets selected (if at all), due to his exhibition last week. To treat the University, Coach, and team in this manner after "earning" a much-disputed second chance does not encourage NFL managers that you are someone they want to "manage". <BR/><BR/>Hokie Alumna -- Class of 1991 <BR/>(Proud of the Hokies, not Marcus)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-1136739373918149562006-01-08T08:56:00.000-08:002006-01-08T08:56:00.000-08:00Marcus Vick is a no-talent buttholewho has discred...Marcus Vick is a no-talent butthole<BR/>who has discredited his alma mater,<BR/>his brother and his family.

Many other teams in the ACC consider V-T to be an underhanded, dirty playing group of no-accounts. As I recall, one of the officials after the Gater Bowl made the comment that the V-T team was "out of control". That, it seems to me, is a strong indictment to level against any team...one which I have never heard a game official make before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-1136730084471759972006-01-08T06:21:00.000-08:002006-01-08T06:21:00.000-08:00Marcus Vick may see himself as an NFL Player, but ...Marcus Vick may see himself as an NFL Player, but character issues will lower his draft status.
