If breaking a guys cheekbone and blackening both eyes is a "bit too far", then you are right.
The CA stated that the reason he still pled out to the misdemeanor was that he went to far. Beating on the guy after he was down. You CAN defend yourself, you CAN"T stomp a guy out after he's down.
Everything said about the VT logo being trademarked is correct. The logo is supposed to look like just a key at first glance but then... that moment you realize it has the shape of Virginia:

That's right, they don't accept "Va Tech" and anyone who calls us that is a douche.
Calling it!
Two clips of Ryan Williams, two references to great blocks by Brooks.
He didn't qualify out of high school and I believe is going the Juco route. Don't bank on ever seeing him in O&M.

Yeah my guess is that there is a bunch of stuff the public doesn't know about in regards to this incident and his behavior in general. Like I said when this originally came up, I know someone personally who got beat up by Holmes and his friends over drugs. And if I had to guess, this wasn't the only time this happened.
Personally, I always found him to be a pretty average running back. None of his high school or college tape really ever stuck out to me. He looked like a JV player compared to JC in his high school tape and JC was playing against way better competition.
For his sake, I hope he gets his shit together. For our team's sake, I hope JC and Edmunds are ready to step up.
Welp. I guess vtandy gets to keep his nut.
Worst quarterback I've ever forgotten
Haha, I figured. I just found it amusing so I wanted to point it out.
haaaaa...about that...I didn't even come close to correctly saying what I was trying to say.
I know why I forgot it. I try to phase anything that involved Glennon out of my mind.
Thanks everyone, now I've been sidetracked during work. Just been watching the best inspirational sports speeches. Miracle wins in a landslide by the way. U-S-A! Can't wait for Olympic hockey next year. We beat 'em in America and now we'll beat 'em in Russia.
The VT logo is a registered trademark, so you must get approval from VT and pay to use it. The TV is simply trademarked, which means they did not register through the government and thus cannot legally pursue violators. Here is a list of all registered trademarks and nonregistered trademarks with information on how to use:

Interestingly, they have not tried to trademark a horse on treadmill.
"Too far" is a very ambiguous term. I have to believe that messed up here... I'm sure he had the right intentions, but if he plead guilty, and a student board kicked him out of school. there's gotta be some details we don't know. He hit a girl hard enough that she's suing him for $25k for a nose job? That's beyond protection.
Whatever the case, I hope he straightens out his life.
Why is everyone assuming that the student judicial board was handing out punishment for the incident that resulted in his arrest? Being expelled could be the result of multiple incidents that were not reported publically adding up.
Wait, you're getting paid for this? Where's my check at?
This blog should be titled "Michael Holmes got royally screwed by his ex." Would anyone suspected this is what she premeditated all along?
There is a VT motivational video dubbed to that speech on youtube. Or at least it used to be. One of the guys on this site probably made it.
I guess it is conceivable that there are details we don't have. But there was an independent eye witness whose testimony was used in court and from everything I've read about it, Holmes was within his right to protect himself and his girlfriend; the only thing he did wrong was take it a bit too far.
I'll be the first to admit I was all about Trey playing linebacker when he got to campus.
Glad I'm paid to be an idiot on a message board and not filling out depth charts!
If he and JC are healthy, things should be OK. I'm curious to see what Mr. Mangus can bring to the table. No doubt he'll get a good look once camp arrives.
