By Walker Freer | November 11, 2005

Four Virginia football players will not participate in tomorrow's game against No. 24 Georgia Tech due to a violation of team policy, the University announced in a press release yesterday morning. The four suspended players are senior wide receiver Ottowa Anderson, junior safety Tony Franklin, sophomore defensive end Vince Redd and senior nose tackle Kwakou Robinson. "There are some internal issues that we're doing a little investigation on, and when we've culminated that process and finalized what that means, we'll make a determination on some people's status," Virginia coach Al Groh said during the ACC's weekly teleconference Wednesday. The verdict of that investigation was handed down yesterday and resulted in the loss of three established starters in Anderson, Franklin and Robinson.

I'm no marketing expert by any means, but I think I have a great idea for the next commercial in the series that has become a pop culture phenomenon over the past few months.
