Non MU - Random Twitter venting

[MUBasketball]

Does anybody follow Andy Glockner on Twitter? I had to unfollow him last night in the 2nd half, I couldn't take it anymore. Tweeting CONSTANTLY and hash tagging "#soccerbowl". WTF? I hate soccer so that just added to the annoyance.

Anyway, my point/question is this - are these national media guys obligated to tweet as part of their job? Otherwise, why in the hell must you tweet constantly during a game that everybody is watching? I don't get why any thought that enters the head some people have to type it out and Tweet it out. Who cares what you think?

Twitter, I love it and hate it equally!

There was a study that came out that people that are angry on twitter is worse than smoking.

I do, and I thought it was funny. Glockner is a big soccer guy, it's his account, and he can tweet whatever the hell he wants.

Ranting about this reflects worse on you than it does him.

LOL, isn't that the point of Twitter? To follow the guys whose opinions you care about? It's a simple solution. Just unfollow him. I have unfollowed and refollowed certain national guys before when they start going off on subjects I don't care about.

Of course he can, that wasn't the question. Was just wondering if people who tweet so much - such as Glockner last night - annoys anybody else. Apparently I'm in the minority. Fair enough.

I hope to get information from Twitter, not be overwhelmed with opinions on the Super Bowl from people I follow. I'm just amazed how much some people tweet, which was the main reason I posted this. I am just wondering if media guys are instructed to tweet as much as possible by their employer? Otherwise, I just don't get it. Tweeting 100 times in one night when almost all of them are meaningless.

"Great catch!"
"Good play call"
"Horrible throw by Brady"
"WHY NOT RUN IT?!"

Holy crap, am I getting old?

And you kids get off my lawn!!!

Live tweeting of the Super Bowl is very common.

I like Sultan have unfollowed lots of media guys who tweet too much for my taste or who beat a subject to death.....Gockner is one I unfollowed....Bilas is another.

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

I still follow Glockner, but I'm also a soccer guy. Bilas I gave up on. All he ever tweeted was his random rap lyric then "I gotta go to work." Never got any insight there.

Bilas is so arrogant--really came out in his tweets. Had to unfollow.
