Internet tough guys.

I don't respect the people on twitter who called out the players individually... I had a couple of tweets that said things like: "this game is disgusting", "How in the hell did we lose to Tech" and I think that's pretty fair. However I don't respect the athletes to come on and do the same to the fans. It makes the situation all the worse. I would have never known about any of this if they didn't tweet about it. Move on like Georges and Chris Babb did. It was sickening to watch that game last night, but even more sickening to see fan go after athlete and athlete go after fan. Something I never want to see again with this college. We are better than that.

Kind of surprised Ejim isn't smart enough to ignore this stuff.

I'd say it to you and your sideways hat-wearing buttbuddy!

This whole tread makes me laugh about how silly our society is around social media. Time for people to lose the social hyperactivity and get back to life as it evolves in the world around them and not on the internet. Where people get off on bashing these guys behind the mask of a twitter handle is rediculous.

Rant over

lol @ e11en liking posts. You've been banned since October, buddy...it's time to move on.

Maybe it just best if fans dont contact players in twitter, good or bad.

Absolutely.

If you want to call out a player and need to say it to their face, I think you'd be pretty safe saying it to Booker. All you need to do is say it and then run. If he moves anything like he does in a game, you should get away pretty easily. I swear his feet are stuck in wet concrete most of the time.
