Georgia Tech in the News


Tech student charged with supporting terror group
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a 21-year-old Georgia Tech student taken into federal custody last month has been charged with giving "material support" to a terrorist organization.

plez sez: From the article, it appears that this young man has been on the federal government's radar for quite some time (at least a year before his arrest). It looks like the "war on terror" has finally yielded a real win.

Crittenton arrival forces Fredrick's departure
It appears that with the arrival of top basketball recruit Javoris Crittenton, Zam Fredrick has decided to transfer to another school.

plez sez: These kids should be going to college for an education and a quality education is one thing that Georgia Tech offers. I am sure that Zam Fredrick is a talented young man and wants to play basketball, but he should also weigh the importance of playing college basketball while receiving a quality degree against his prospects of being able to earn a living of playing professional basketball. I've seen him play... he needs to concentrate on his degree!

Why news from Georgia Tech? I received my degree in electrical engineering from there and I've had football season ticket for over 15 years!

The joke......excuse me .....war on terror was bound to get somebody one of these days. What else do you expect from such a "shotgun" tactic?

As for Zam, he definitely did not play up to his hype. I hope he doesn't think that he is good enough to throw away a season to go play for someone else.
