I don't particularly care for players tweeting and such. Seems sort of juvenile. I didn't know Travis Lewis had done that tweet against us prior though...I was just starting to come around and respecting his game and career at OU after the douchebaggery he pulled on us on signing day...guess not, seems Lewis is a major d-bag still.

I don't totally care for it, even EMart's tweet back...let the action on the field speak loudest...scoreboard.

so not tweeting in general, just tweeting smack talk? i'd agree with that.

right, not in general...but as a coach I would hate if you gave the opponent bulletin board material this way. This is sort of a weird Big 10 v Big 12 which team belongs in Conf USA smack...so not really opponent to opponent but still not in the best taste IMO...I gotta believe Bo is going to say knock it off. You play well on the field, you don't need this...you play crappy on the field and this stuff looks really stupid...looks like EMart couldn't resist.

...You know, I don't care what their 'tweets' look like. My problem is that texting, tweeting, and facebook status updates have become so much a part of young people's lives that they don't know how to separate that from times when 'proper' or academic English is appropriate. You should try reading a high school student's report that is half written in 'text' language. I actually have to tell the kids at the time of the assignment that 'text' language is unacceptable.

This is completely true. Sad, really.

people had similar fears because of television, radio, printed text, and so on and so forth. get over it.

It's not a fear, it's a reality. I had students turn in papers that were half written in 'text' language. The worst part was, they had no idea why I was handing it back, ungraded, and telling them to re-write it. I'm not affraid of anything, I just think these kids spend so much time texting, and so little time reading English, that they don't even realize that they shouldn't turn in a formal paper written in text.

As a high school teacher myself, I can tell you this isn't fear mongering. It is absolutely the truth. I get papers like this all the time and have to hand them back to be re-done. It is sad.

I'd love to see examples of said papers. It sucks how that form of writing has become so popular. I immediately tune out anyone that types like that even in a text.

 
I'm in college and have not heard of any of my class mates writting papers like this. Probably because all of our papers have to be typed. Because of this is spellcheck. Make your students type their papers.

 
I think all of Martin's tweets bagging on Kinnie's speed were way better.

And the whole Lewis committment turned sour after an in-home with Cally. Bill pissed off momma
