Tech players using social media to slam the NCAA
Many of you may have read Sean Bedford’s letter to the NCAA.
Bedford, an all-conference center at Tech the past two seasons, isn’t the only player who is using social media to express his frustration with the NCAA’s decision to strip the Yellow Jackets of the 2009 ACC championship.
Wide receiver Tyler Melton changed his Facebook profile photo to one of Tech’s players standing on the podium after the ACC championship game.
Former inside linebacker Brad Jefferson posted this: Just heard they so called, “took our acc championship away,” dats funny..lol! Take something away from gladiator(ha), YEA RIGHT! All they can say is that they tried…
Former kicker Scott Blair posted this: We beat Clemson twice in 2009. We only needed to beat them once to prove we were the best in the ACC anyway.
Former linebacker Kyle Jackson has asked all Tech players to change their profile photo to a picture of their ACC championship ring.
On Twitter:
Offensive lineman Phil Smith: They can’t strip me of my memories.
Inside linebacker Sedric Griffin: Can’t win for losing as a Techie
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas: Swear they look for anything
Cornerback Mario Butler: Regardless of what happened I still got my acc ring
Running back Anthony Allen: Well good thing my ring is in a safe place but this is some bull…
A few Clemson players took Tech to task:
Running back C.J. Spiller: @JKJIII: So does this mean we get acc chanpionship rings?” That’s what I’m talkin ab bra I need my ring

The dirtiest program in the nation is allowing their cheating players to behave like thugs on the internet? Way to show everyone just how right the NCAA was you dummies. What a disgrace to the fine state of Georgia.

@Jake
If college football is all about valuable life lessons for the players, why is it that U(sic)GA had more players arrested than any other school in the country last year?

Second time in less than 10 years the crooks from North Ave. have shamed the state and forced to vacate wins. Between nerd making bombs and setting them off on campus to others killing one another with swords, I think it’s past time to shut this institute of crime completely down.
