What do you expect when the one-sided refereeing ignored head slaps and worse by the Cardinals on every play in the Hokies' first possession, penalized Hokies for legal hits with flags for personal fouls, penalized Hokies when Cardinals were offenders, and ignored numerous holding penalties on 'big' plays by Louisville? That officiating team was so one sided I'm surprised their stripes weren't red. . . . I, for one, understand a little frustration on the part of the Hokies. So, because Vick was angry at the officials, he tried to injure one of the opposing players? It would have made more sense to hit one of the officialsexcept that would have gotten him tossed out of the game.
Look, it is just a game. The most important part of any game is good sportsmanship. (I know, I knowthat is a quaint notion these days.) There is never an excuse to lash out at an opposing player because the game is going badly, even if the officiating is one-sided. The coaches should have benched Vick.

Good sportsmanship. Like all the head-slapping the Cards did? Like the penalty the Hokies had called for a legal hit on the quarterback? Like the dual penalties called when a Cardinal repeatedly hit a Hokie in the head who was just trying to hold the Card away?
Yep. Great sportsmanship.

If little Vick tries this in the NFL he might end up sustaining a career ending injury because of it.When a QB stands in the pocket to throw a pass he'd be better off if the defensive tackle rushing from the backside didn't want to kill him.
