RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer will meet with Marcus Vick at his home on Friday and no announcement of possible discipline for the junior quarterback will be made before that, athletic director Jim Weaver said Thursday.

The meeting will take place at the home of Vick's mother in Hampton Roads, Weaver said, and also will involve Vick's mother and possibly his brother, former Virginia Tech star Michael Vick, quarterback and merchandising megastar for the Atlanta Falcons.

"He's going there to talk about the situation and what issues are out there at this point and what Marcus needs to do," Weaver said in a telephone interview.

Vick, whose career at Virginia Tech has been turbulent, set off a firestorm of new criticism in the Gator Bowl when he was caught on tape stomping on the left calf of Lousiville All-American Elvis Dumervil after Dumervil tackled him during the game.

Vick was not penalized on the play, but claimed later that he had apologized to Dumervil and that everything was fine. Dumervil said he received no such apology.

Beamer said following the Hokies 35-24 comeback victory that he had not seen the play and couldn't comment on it, and he has not returned phone messages since.

In short, he's just like his brother!

Personally, I think Michael Vick has more talent but is a huge crybaby. Tampa Bay has his number and almost always beats Atlanta. He starts throwing the ball in disgust after a play, yells at his teammates, accuses the Bucs of playing dirty etc...
