Vick charged with marijuana possession Richmond Times-Dispatch Jul 6, 2004 Times-Dispatch NBC12 Poll Is Marcus Vick blowing a chance at college football stardom with several run-ins with the law? Yes No Undecided Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was charged with reckless driving and possession of marijuana after a state trooper stopped him along Interstate 64 in New Kent County about 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Vick, 20, was driving west when a trooper clocked him going 86 mph in a 65 mph zone about two miles east of the Providence Forge exit, said state police Lt. Gary Payne. As a result of the traffic stop, Payne said, police discovered two bags "containing a quantity of marijuana" inside the vehicle. It was unclear how the marijuana was found, but Payne said he believes the trooper had detected an odor of marijuana. Vick, who was alone in the vehicle, was released on a summons for both charges. Motorists can be charged with reckless driving if they are caught speeding 20 mph or more over the posted speed limit. Less than two months ago, Vick and two teammates were convicted in Montgomery County with contributing to the delinquency of minors at a late-night party. The May 14 verdicts came after a daylong trial in which a 15-year-old girl testified that Vick, wide receiver Brenden Hill and running back Mike Imoh served her and two other girls liquor and encouraged two of them as they stripped and performed topless lap dances Jan. 27 in Vick's Blacksburg apartment. Vick was found guilty of three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay $2,500 in fines.

Saint Joe Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Yes. He's giving Frank Beamer a pretty easy excuse to start Bryan Randall this season. Marcus Vick is blowing his shot at college football stardom and NFL stardom. By, the way, this should be in the NCAA Athletics forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay87 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 He's a little punk who won't be punished because the coach thinks he may be as good as Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Beamer needs to kick him off the team. Except that won't ever happen because this punk is getting special treatment because of his name. (It's not the marijuana possessions which I find disturbing; it's that this is the second time he had a run in with the law, and it usually only takes one to be shown the door) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I love the Hokies. But Beamer needs to get rid of this bad apple. He's obviously not going to change his habits. No one's going to help him, he's gotta help himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 If he doesn't get playing time, he won't get to the N.F.L. He won't get playing time if he keeps getting suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Speeding is one thing... a couple of joints another... but doing both when he's ALREADY facing jail time for the "under age drinking thing" and facing some punishment from the University is just moronic. He's obviously been adversely affected by the spotlight, notoriety, and the visualizations of the Vick name. I mean.. he's driving around campus in a tricked out Escalade... and has another car as well.... and he's proved NOTHING on the football field. His older brother has received everything he's gotten via hard work and a super natural athletic ability. Marcus has captured the spotlight because his last name is Vick and preceeds his older brother and his legend status at VT. He's been suspended indefinitely.... but I believe the only recourse VT has at this point is to remove him from the university alltogether and move on. Giving him special treatment, treatment I believe he's gotten to this point because of his last name, only further indicates that VT is fast approaching the label of "Miami of the North".

Synergist Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 He's done, Even if he gets another chance I'm sure he'll screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolinrastaboi Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 VT is the most overated college program in the country. Without having Mike Vick for a minute they wouldn't have done anything. Why do people sweat VT??? They suck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Cool... When VT is beating Miami, LSU, and a number of other top tier schools... I'd hardly consider them overated. Michael Vick brought them to the forefront of college football but Frank Beamer is considered an above average college coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Ya'll must not be paying attention. Marcus Vick had already been suspended INDEFINETLY from the team. No special treatment here, this kid is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominatingDonkeys Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 If little Vick was some no name kid on the team he'd be kicked off in a heartbeat, but you won't see that happening. Va Tech couldn't do that to the little brother of the guy that put Va Tech on the map and basically made them nationally known. Beamer and his staff are damn good coaches and Vick helped them finally keep all this sick talent in the state of Virginia. With all that said he might only miss a game or 2 and will tear it up as the "slash" man for tech. All I know is that I hope he plays on the 28th vs USC. Va tech is going to get smashed in that game, can't wait.. Gooooooooooooo CANES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
