Twitter Suggestions

Ever since I heard about twitter I was opposed to the idea mainly because I couldn't care less what some of my friends are doing or having for lunch. How much info can a person get in the abbreviated talking of twitter? However, I have come around to the idea of joining up just because there are so many rumors and other bits of information that show up on reporters feeds. I really still don't want to be bombarded with the happenings in the personal lives of friends and celebrities, but I do want to see what is going on in the world of sports (KU in particular but not exclusively). With this in mind, all of you experienced twitter users, who should I follow?

Thanks for the suggestions

What is up with the Fake____ names? Are they someone impersonating the real person?

parody accounts...

they can be pretty humorous. Just a nice way to mix in some laughs with a KU emphasis.

Speaking of twitter...

Lots of chatter out there today about “NMT.” first, T-Rob said something to the effect of, “say it to my face,” so he (and I assume his teammates) know about it.

Then, Kim English came out and said something to the effect of, “doing this would be an embarrassment to our program. We should be better than that.” Very classy move on his part.

At this point, it doesn’t really matter whether people wear the shirts (except that doing so makes it easier for the rest of us to spot the vile idiots), because T-Rob is going to drop a nuclear bomb-sized middle finger on the tigers either way.

it sounds like

it was just some idiot on a message board saying all that crap. I am beyond shocked that it isn’t true though given that you probably get a nobel prize if you make it out of columbia with any shred of common decency.

I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter

Huh?

I don’t know what that means. It’s late and I’ve been working for the last 16.5 hours, but are we sure that’s not supposed to be TMNT?

If only...

One or more tigger idiots call T-Rob “No Mom Thomas.” because they’re classless dicks. Some are talking about wearing shirts that say NMT to the KU game and to Gameday that morning.

No idea how popular this idea actually is (I’d guess extremely unpopular), but it got enough people talking to get their hateful taunt to Thomas, so I guess their trolling worked?

Kim English

He seems like a legitimately good person. He has class and is thoughtful, articulate, and intelligent. If you can find it, there is some really good video of him ribbing the ESPN reporters after they beat Baylor.

HOW THE HELL DID HE END UP IN COLUMBIA?

Maybe I'm out of touch

but what the hell are you talking about?

Some Missouri fans have started referring to TRob as NMT.

NMT = No Mom Tom.

There was a rumor yesterday that the Antlers were going to make shirts with NMT on them and wear them to the game next week.

Today's installment of people making idiots out of themselves on Twitter comes to us from Clemson, South Carolina

And is done by Jim Kelly’s nephew! Lil Kelly is a QB recruit, and he took to twitter today to taunt the current backup. There’s no way this could POSSIBLY backfire, right?
