It was announced about a 1/2 hour ago that Virginia Tech has kicked Marcus Vick off the team. I am taking poll as to how long will it be before our friends on Egriz.com speculate about him transfering to the the Griz.


I am going with Friday, Jan. 6 2006 , 3:25 pm.

Haha. I just logged in to start this exact same thread. I can see it now.

"Yeah, who else would he want to go play for. We have the best facilities and a winning traditon and sprinturf and Swogger and maybe Chambers, too."

Chill out Griz fans, I'm just kidding....

That's ok....we didn't want him.

lol

egriz....3:49....close but no cigar

Ha Ha I am a Griz fan & posted that I wondered how long til a rumor popped up that he was coming to Missoula. Seriously though I don't know why either the Cats or Griz would want this scumbag.

Why wouldn't he want to go to the Griz. They have the best football stadium and weed in 1-AA. Sounds like a perfect choice!

Yeah but our 14 year old girls aren't that hot.

I don't imagine they look that different through the weed smoke (I'm guessing)

Yeah, but no coaches selling meth. Maybe you guys are the front-runners.

Well if he can't find good weed in Granola, maybe he can smoke a little rope or even roll a gunny sack skirt.. What a spoiled loser...

here's the article on it.

Virginia Tech kicks Vick off team

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was dismissed from the team Friday, the result of numerous legal transgressions and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl.

University president Charles Steger announced the dismissal on the same day that coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother in their Hampton Roads home, the school said in a statement. Beamer informed them of the decision during the meeting.

Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, was suspended from school in 2004 for several legal problems. The junior came under new and intense scrutiny this week after replays showed he stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil during the Jan. 2 bowl.

No penalty was called on the play and Vick claimed its was accidental. He further hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader, but the Louisville player said no such apology was ever offered.

On Friday, it was revealed that Vick had been stopped for speeding and driving with a revoked or suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17, Cpl. James West said. Vick's license had been taken away in August 2004 when he was cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession in New Kent County.

Steger suspended Vick from school at that time, and warned that any additional problems would effectively end his time as a member of the Hokies' football team.

"The university provided one last opportunity for Vick to become a citizen of the university and readmitted him in January 2005, with the proviso that any future problems would result in automatic dismissal from the team," Steger said Friday.

Beamer said in a statement that he was disappointed with the outcome. "We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus," he said. "I certainly wish him the best."


Poll

School officials said in a statement that there would be no further comment until a news conference Saturday. Beamer, Steger and athletic director Jim Weaver, who said the stomping embarrassed the university, were all expected to attend.

A telephone message left on Vick's cell phone was not immediately returned Friday, and his mother, Brenda Boddie, has an unlisted phone number.

Vick said before the Hokies' 35-24 comeback victory in the Gator Bowl that he planned to return for his senior season. Now, his choices are to declare for the NFL Draft by the Jan. 15 deadline or transfer to a Division I-AA school so he can play next season.

Vick entered this season knowing he would face hostility from opposing fans, mostly stemming from his drug arrest and another for serving alcohol to underage girls during the 2003 school year.

He said he was ready for it, but reacted to chants of "rapist" and "child molester" at West Virginia on Oct. 1 by making an obscene gesture in the direction of the crowd. He met with Beamer following that incident and apologized to the team.

In the ACC championship game against Florida State, he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for spiking the ball after a touchdown run with the Hokies trailing, and following the 27-22 loss, walked by reporters after the game without commenting, saying he didn't have to.

He finished that game 26-for-52 for 335 yards with one interception and a fumble near his goal line that teammate Duane Brown recovered. Vick threw one scoring pass and ran for two more touchdowns, but also was sacked six times for minus-35 yards.

On the field, he was often dazzling, but sometimes tried to do too much.

The Hokies started 8-0 and were No. 3 in the polls when they hosted Miami on Nov. 5. But Vick threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball away four times in a 27-7 loss.

This season, he was runner-up to Wake Forest's Chris Barclay as the conference's offensive player of the year, and was voted the first team quarterback on the all-conference team.

In 24 career games, the last 13 starts, Vick was 207-for-346 for 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also rushed 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs.

Vick is a griz

Rumor is that Vick and Swogger will be splitting possessions next fall while throwing to Chambers.

Of course, the new rumors are that Brady Leaf and Johnny DuRocher are also going to be headed to the Zoola.

Expect a lot of play fakes and laterals in 1-AA's first four QB offense. Chambers is so good, they only need one receiver.

Papa G,
That's pretty funny. In fact, at times, egriz is this close to starting a "Chuck Norris" or "Mr. T" thread for Chambers.

That might be a pretty funny thread for us to start.

Vick in trouble again. Pulled a gun on three teenagers. This guy is a real winner. I don't think any one in the NFL is stupid enough to risk taking this guy and wasting a pick.

And a gun charge is going to make it tough to get across the border to play in the CFL

Hooray for arena ball! Or maybe he can latch on with a team like the Great Falls Gladiators, if they are still even around.
