What's this?

I am an unapologetic supporter of Michael Dwayne Vick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No qualifiers. No equivocation. No couching my remarks to appease the haters.

I will shout this for the people in the back. MICHAEL VICK SHOULD HAVE WON THE HEISMAN AS A FRESHMAN. Ron Dayne? Please.

The dude is simply the most exciting player to play the position. The most exciting player I've ever seen in any sport. He changed the game.

And I have ZERO time for people who want to drag him for his crimes. He paid his debt to society in every which way. He did it with grace. He did it without groveling for the quick PR patch up. I never heard an ex-teammate or ex-opponent say anything bad about him. In fact, they seemed to love him. I want him as close to the current Tech program as possible.

Amen! ** -- jonnyhawk 12/17/2021 3:29PM

Not even Bruce Smith or Tyrod Taylor lifted VT as high as Michael Vick did ** -- DGHOKIE 12/17/2021 3:00PM

Is there really a need to compare our two #1 draft picks? -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 3:13PM

Exactly, I was what?? ** -- VaTechie 12/17/2021 8:04PM

I was just responding to "one of the best" ... I think that Bruce did more -- DGHOKIE 12/17/2021 3:45PM

Two time all American, Outland Trophy winner, number one draft -- VaTechie 12/17/2021 8:08PM

With no Bruce Smith, there is likely no Mike Vick. -- VTfan2019 12/18/2021 12:03PM

Vick, who? ** -- banishedtothelounge 12/17/2021 2:20PM

marcus' brother? ** -- squarerootofone 12/17/2021 2:26PM

I think he is the brother of VT's 4th highest rated recruit of all time. ** -- JACHokies 12/17/2021 2:34PM

Best stomper VT ever had. Pretty good at shooting birds too. ** -- JACHokies 12/17/2021 2:41PM

I heard Coach Pry is suggesting a Marcus Vick Day game next season... ** -- banishedtothelounge 12/17/2021 2:34PM

Absolutely, I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it is -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:16PM

I am dumbfounded this happened, there has to be more to this. -- TekkNerd 12/17/2021 2:25PM

Yep something smells here* ** -- sacramento hokie 12/17/2021 3:11PM

It's a screw up, nothing more, i'm convinced. -- jonnyhawk 12/17/2021 3:33PM

I'm hoping that this isn't some woke/PC appeasement. If so, I'm worried -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:30PM

Seems to me this is one of maybe two possible explanations. I mean he is -- JACHokies 12/17/2021 2:38PM

Clearly worth making amends. ** -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:42PM

Again, speculation. ** -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:31PM

My hoping something does not amount to speculation. Two different concepts ** -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:32PM

Voicing an unsupported fear is speculation.** -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:35PM

OK Maybe you're right. You're also speculating that it was unintentional.** -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:36PM

I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:38PM

I was actually hoping that that negative intentions were not true. -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:41PM

A better way to handle these things is not to assume the worst of people. -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:45PM

You win. Obviously you know everything and are very skilled at the ways of -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:48PM

I’ll always hope it’s not about any woke crap but I’m sure it’s not here ** -- Hoakie82 12/17/2021 5:25PM

No, there doesn't. -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:28PM

MV is not just 1 of 150 people. He is among one of the few greats at VT. ** -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:31PM

Actually, he is the best player VT has ever had name one better. Falcons -- DGHOKIE 12/17/2021 2:57PM

Close ... played in the Independence Bowl once ** -- DGHOKIE 12/17/2021 8:41PM

I don't disagree at all. ** -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 3:17PM

Yes, he's among the elite players from VT. There are more than a few. -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:33PM

Not more than -- VAVET 12/17/2021 5:40PM

Obviously you have not been around very long. ** -- Hokie_Dawg 12/17/2021 2:37PM

I went to his games in person, so I'm old enough -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:39PM

Lets face it, Mike and Dwight do a VT podcast, so they are prominent... -- EDGEMAN 12/17/2021 2:36PM

I agree, but mistakes happen. No need to make unfounded accusations. ** -- VTfan2019 12/17/2021 2:37PM

How often do you hear about other schools making the same "mistake" -- VTHokie2000 12/17/2021 5:05PM

I don't follow this level of non-story for other teams. ** -- VTfan2019 12/18/2021 12:01PM
