Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall has beef with his alma mater.
The reason for that beef isn’t exactly clear, although Randall has made it clear he feels Arizona State doesn’t respect their alumni.
Here’s a series of tweets unleashed by Randall yesterday that started with this bomb.

It was assumed this was some sort of April Fool’s nonsense. Not the case, said Randall.

Randall then suggested he would no longer announce ASU as his school during player introductions, instead opting for his junior college, Mesa Community College.
@RandallTime We going to hear "Damarious Randall, Mesa Community College" during the next Sunday Night Football intros?

If you haven’t noticed, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers does the same thing. He has forgone saying he went to Cal in favor of “Butte Community College.”
Rodgers’ beef with Cal stems from their firing of his coach, Jeff Tedford, which happened following the 2012 season. Rodgers likes to hold grudges.
As for Randall, here was his vague reason for getting angry.

ABC 15 in Phoenix says one of Randall’s issues is the school won’t give him free access to the student recreation facility.
“I’m not mad about the ASU football program. It’s got nothing to do with the football program,” he said in a Periscope session after 11 p.m. Arizona time. “Hey man, they should respect their alumnis.”
“I could’ve stayed at ASU for another year,” he added. “They told me I was going seventh round. I still got up out of there.”
Is this dumb?
It certainly seems that way.
We have to wonder if Randall now regrets getting that ASU tattoo of himself earlier this year.
He is mad they didn’t teach him proper use of the English language.
I can see why he’s upset. They never taught him the difference between “have” and “has.” They also didn’t teach him the difference between “their” and “there.” He just sounds like an entitled fuck.
“Damarious Randall, Should have been a Wildcat, Bear Down”
Probably a reaction from “puff the magic dragon” again.
What this guy would do without football I have no idea
Hope that this isn’t foreshadowing character issues down the line. Cornerbacks tend to be prima donnas I hope he isn’t like that.
