BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was suspended from the university for the 2004 season because of his run-ins with the law.

 

Virginia Tech officials said Tuesday they took the action because of Vick's convictions in May on three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after he and two teammates gave alcohol to 14- and 15-year-old girls at the players' apartment. Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback and former Hokies star Michael Vick, was acquitted of a charge of having sex with one of the girls and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250.

 

The suspension also was based on reckless driving and marijuana possession charges filed against Vick last month after an early morning traffic stop on Interstate 64 in New Kent Kent County. The 20-year-old player faced trial on those charges Tuesday.

Uh, Michael & Marcus are the same generation.

 

Yes...I know.

 

I consider Michael an idiot for trying to scramble up the middle on the Baltimore Ravens.

 

Obviously little brother Marcus has more issues. Like having a famous brother and not being the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Was Vick supposed to be the starter this year? I wasn't sure if that Randall guy graduated or not.

Not saying he wouldn't get in trouble at another school, but I once saw a profile on Marcus when he was in high school, and he specifically said he was NOT going to go to VaTech. Said he didn't want to have to face all the comparisons and expectations. Maybe that's what got him in trouble, his "I'm Mike's brother and I can do whatever I want" attitude; maybe he should have gone somewhere else.

Can someone please explain to me the hardon ESPN and Virginia Tech has for Marcus? I've seen him play and he is definately not a good quarterback.

When I just saw that he was getting suspended for the season for weed, I thought it was kind of bullshit, but if he already got caught getting 14 year olds drunk, I guess it makes sense. Besides, Randall's been a damn good QB for them, and he deserves to play his senior season without looking over his shoulder every damn game.

 

As for how Va. Tech's gonna do this year, .500 sounds about right. The ACC's gonna be crazy tough this year, and really Va. Tech built a lot of their reputation by beating up on teams like Rutgers and Temple in the Big East.

Amusingly, I have a co-worker who goes to V-Tech and attends a lot of the same parties as Vick. She says he basically comes in and acts all high and mighty, and pretty much nobody outside of his groupies (which are, surprisingly, not overwhelming) likes him. He got a $1 million check for his birthday from his brother, though.

 

This shit just shows how hype can ruin a kid.

That's it, now I'm going to make sure my little brother goes to the NFL. Anyone have a phone number for Todd Marinovich's dad?
