Guess who has a Twitter account!!! This guy!
I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, and as it turns out, I love it. I'm semi-addicted, especially during this month of July when college basketball recruiting is in full force. I can follow all the premier scouts, all the local Big Ten teams insiders, as well as the national talking heads. I feel "in the know" way more than I used to. I know instantly who's offered, who's committed, and who's watching who at what tournament. If you're like Grace ("You know more about teenage boys than someone your age should"), I'm wasting my life, but I look at it as a convenient way to enjoy one of my hobbies/passions.
Thing is, I don't actually "tweet". Seriously, what important things do I have to say?
But that got me thinking at the beach over the weekend. What if we all got Twitter accounts? What a great way to stay connected long distance...it would be like a never-ending chat. I know we have the blogs, and we text and phone, but it'd be cool to have a place to talk about a sports play, post thoughts on some current event, post a link to an interesting story, or call Kevin stupid.
What do you think?

You can learn some pretty INTERESTING things when you combine facebook and twitter...
I think it is fine to follow recruiting that way, but from what I've heard you can't trust what the kids say much. They'll change their opinion every other minute. As long as you don't become one of those people who messages kids trying to promote MSU to them, I think you're fine.
Sorry - didn't read your last part. I'd be down with that.
It's true the kids flip-flop all the time, but usually that's the case when a kid commits too young, or the program they're going to is in a bit of turmoil (see: OSU football). If you commit to MSU, more often that not, you're coming.
But Twitter has given me a chance to see WHO Izzo is watching before the offers are given. And who the assistants are watching. And Tom Crean. And Matt Painter. And Thad Matta. And on and on. It's nice to see and try to figure out where we are going in the next couple of years.
Yay! Alright, that's one. Kevin is in Illinois, so I'll have to get him on board, too.
Haha, I remember I once made a twitter account specifically to spite you.
I don't really know how it works, (I never actually posted on the account) but I'll give it a shot.
