As some of you already know, Twitter is the single most important communication medium since smoke signals. It will have a greater effect on humanity than Velcro.
Our friend Peter Bean at Burnt Orange Nation has found himself caught up in a life and death, Ashton Kutcher-style Twitter competition: SB Nation
If he wins, he will receive many great accolades and prizes or something. Whatever. It’s not important. What is important is he’s a Horn so follow him here: PB_at_BON on Twitter

That is all.

Raoulduke,
Don’t be a tool. I kid, I kid. Who’s said I was qualified? Last time I checked this is the internet and everyone who can type can offer an opinion. Shit, half the folks offering up opinions on this blog and most sport blogs have no clue what they’re talking

If NU really wants to win they need to take a page from TO’s coaching career.
1. Never let great talent leave the state, Nebraska is desolate for talent so when a good player comes around you have to land him.
2. Develop a “system” where talent can flourish and help the team.

Nate, I think your argument is pretty solid for the SEC, Big 12 and Pac 10 but not so much on the Big 10. If you look at the 2009 Sagarin strength of sked: ND-37, Ohio St-50, Iowa-41, Penn St-73. Not so sure joining the Big 10 really helps ND’s chances. With

Mr. Bateman – First let me say I’m not trying to be an asshole or pick a fight. This is a great column and great fun to read.
Re this:
I think Kiffin’s staff is competent enough, particularly Papa Kiffin (DC), John Baxter (a pretty good ST coach), and Todd McNair is a decent RB
bigdukesix commented on the blog post Bush Paves the Way for Henderson? 3 hours, 36 minutes ago
Kiffin’s father is a great coach, but the rest of that staff isn’t. Orgeron and Kiffin are both good, dirty recruiters and mediocre to poor gameday coaches.
How important is that in college football? How good of a gameday coach is Mack Brown? Greg Davis?
Orgeron is actually a damn fine defensive line coach,

CTJ,
Always impassioned. I agree with you that his delay had to do with not being eligible to sign rather than awaiting for the smoke to settle. However, the point is not with motive but with opportunity. Maybe the kid and his family don’t know anything and just trudged along with his planned

I get what you’re saying, but honestly, it’s a cop out. Period. If the AD was to actually commit some resources into building a program, we would be competitive and probably would even give K-State a run for its money. We may never be a KU, but we sure as hell wouldn’t

Totally agree re: RJ. I’m hesitant to shout it from the mountain tops until he does it against a contending team. So far his success has been against 2nd tier teams.
Ginobili is just incredible to watch right now. Just goes to show how hurt he really must have been last season.

Nate, agreed on the buying players. What does the NCAA do? Oh yeah, you “vacate wins”. I vacated my bowels this morning.

If we can score, we have a chance. The Heat are a poor team in a mediocre conference this year and don’t come with a lot of fire power. The one thing they can do is play defense, holding teams to 95.2 points per game, 5th best in the NBA. Dorrell Wright returns from a

Before anyone questions my street cred I got my twitter account in January 2007 as part of their beta. This was when 99% of the world still thought twitter was a brazilian sex act involving transvestites and small birds.
So I know what I’m talking about when I say that Twitter is the least useful form of communication since glow in the dark braille. It is actually so unuseful that it comes out the other side and actively sucks productivity and brain cells from heavy users. I’ve seen it happen.
Here’s an iconic example and summary of the great Twitter fad of 2009.

I twitter (for business). I find it amusing on a personal level. As a nascent customer acquisition, customer service and branding tool in ecommerce land, I view it as amazing.
There are some obvious ways for Twitter to make money and I can’t really figure out why at least some of them aren’t being deployed. Of course, these guys sold Blogger to Google for a ton a few years back, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but it’s a headscratcher.
