Virginia Tech wide receiver Ike Whitaker blamed head coach Frank Beamer for getting arrested on public intoxication charges.

Frank Beamer suspended Whitaker for missing a morning practice so the
young receiver felt he needed to go get wasted at a downtown bar.

“Half the reason I was down there is because I was suspended. And I
feel like I wasn’t supposed to get suspended,” Whitaker said. “I’m not
selling drugs, shooting nobody, killing nobody, carrying guns; I’m not
doing any of that. And for me to get suspended for missing a meeting is
crazy.”

Although he admits he was drunk, Whitaker doesn’t think he deserved to be arrested.

“I don’t think I was being wild (or) rude to anybody downtown,”
Whitaker said. “But I knew the cops know I was suspended. They were
talking about it. I was talking to the cops, explaining to them how
hurt I was that I had been suspended … So I’m explaining to the cop
that honestly I’m mad, I’m frustrated and the way I dealt with it was
going downtown with some of my friends and trying to enjoy myself as
much as possible. And then I got a drunk in public.”

Grow up kid, it’s time to put on some big boy pants and take responsibility for your actions.
