No more twitter for OU football players

[SoonerNate]

I followed many of them but I can't say that I'm disappointed. Some of them tweeted all day.


Stoops said no more twitter. But Feel free to tweet me cause I love reading everybodys stuff! Live for the moment- K. Stills

[Turd_Ferguson]

Sad OUDavid1 will be sad.

[Curly Bill]

I applaud the wisdom of this decision.

Anyone as in the coaches? I'm sure they would rather get the news out via some other source.

Ah I got ya. Facebook is pretty good for keeping up with folks but that's it for me. I'll pass on Twitter.

[StoopTroup]

This is Berry Tramel's Fault

[nighttrain12]

What is the real difference between Twitter and Facebook? Can't they just do the same stuff on Facebook now?

[yankee]

FYI for those of you less-informed anti-twitter folks, Kenny had had that up for months now. It's not new. And OU football players who use Twitter responsibly are still tweeting. You're only banned if you say stupid **** like Kenny did.

Ironic, isn't it?

[C&CDean]

What's ironic? Grown-assed adults twatting 19-year old kids? I agree.

You know what's funny? Little punkassed kids talking about mature adults like they're "old."

BTW, I joined Facebook a couple days ago. Don't know WTF to do with it, but one of my kids talked me into it. He goes "dad, everybody is on Facebook." So I joined. Twitter? Nah.

[yankee]

I don't know what twatting 19 year old kids is, and I'm not sure I wanna know, especially from an old mature man.

[SoonerNate]

LOL @ folks slow to catch up with the times.

I suppose some of you are looking into flat screen televisions as well.

You want ironic? How about an old mature man pounds a mighty knot on your scrawny little punkin? Wouldn't that be like sooooo ironic? Meh. Where do these dweebs come from? I blame yermom.

I don't imagine the fans find it funny if some dumbass player wearing an OU jersey was flaunting a wad of cash and high-fiving a booster all over twitter and facebook. 'Cause I'm pretty sure kids are THAT stupid nowadays. I mean, look at the blabbermouths at Ohio State right now. Even if there was a such thing as a perfect college football program, all it takes is one still shot of a player sitting in a new car at the state fair to get all the aggies of the world asking where player X's new car came from.

I applaud this decision, and wonder if this means facebook, too.

[goingoneight]

To add, I don't think the Box or Everage family finds it "funny" what was being said about their lost loved ones the last two weeks on social networks.

David, over 900 people followed an idiot and drank Kool-aid to kill themselves. Just cause someone follows you don't mean the message is worth is worth a sh!t

Sure it's useful for us to get breaking news or amusement. However, for the sake of a program, it just makes sense to control when and were a kid gets a microphone. A certain player's boneheaded comments last season stand as a perfect example.

you should be my friend on facebook.

[C&CDean]

Internet knot, or real knot?

Yes.

Now I gotta ask, why in the hell would I want up to the second updates on what some college kid had for lunch when I can read it right here 1.3 nano-seconds later anyhow? I'll let you young dweebs sweetly suckle the sweat off some kids' sack, thank you very much.

yabba dabba. dont understand twitter and facebook myself. people sit around all day on those sites involved in something that doesnt matter in the least. 1% might be useful. loss of productivity in life. but i did just turn 40, so i guess im old.

Now THIS is irony. It's almost blatant.

You never call me nice names anymore

[SoonerHoops]

I don't have a problem with grown men following college athletes on Twitter or Facebook. What bothers me to no end is grown men who are complete strangers trying to talk to the athletes like they're good friends or something. That's just pathetic.

[2121Sooner]

Haters gonna hate I guess.

This doesn't even make sense. There used to be a name fornpeople that followed around athletes, they were called "jock sniffers". Now they are called "twitter followers"

Should just call em Twits

And if this is the type of hard hitting info you tweet I can see why people would want to hear up to the second info from you

Because they are high profile and tend to write stupid ****.

Why should they get to shape the message about news that is external to the program? :confused:
