Andy: I know that I'm an old time Hokie who bleeds "orange and maroon" as well as follows all Hokie teams and news 24/7. But, wouldn't it be a better idea to let Coach Fuente make his own decision reference the punishment for Gaines and Alexander? Versus to imply that unless they miss the Tennessee game that his discipline has "No Teeth". Especially before they (even) go to court where fines and punishment will be assessed!

Sorry, but before I even read the article. I knew that would be your view! Please let our new, yet very seasoned 'head man" make those decisions without "twisting the arm" of public opinion. Especially, in light of the infractions at hand. Ever have a alcoholic drink under the age of 21? Or even better consider the thoughts going thru these college student's minds, when one state legalizes pot yet other states do not?

Regardless, I enjoy your articles but do however sense a touch of bias in your opinions at times......this being one of them!
