Montemayor: Talk sports in 140 characters or less

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Smontemayor: Fellow current and potential “followers,” let’s start a revolution today. The first UDK sports column composed via Twitter. 11:22 a.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: The Man might keep us down by limiting us to 140 characters, but by piecing our updates together, we will overcome! 11:26 a.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Careful not to talk about recruiting, though, apparently we’re ALL under the jurisdiction of the NCAA recruiting laws. 11:29 a.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Or is that just Facebook? Do they know about Twitter yet? No? OK, quick: JOHN WALL COME TO KU PLZ!!! 11:31 a.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Brett Favre overload. Who cares if he returns? Is it going to make life so much worse? You’re just jealous he didn’t text you, aren’t you? 11:44 a.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Perfect remedy for Favre mania: ESPNU & the sports cable pack overall. UEFA soccer, lacrosse, soft/baseball. Best invention since the... 12:23 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Oops, ran out of characters. 12:26 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: w/summer a week away & a new year of KU sports ahead, can’t help but feel as though the stakes are obviously so much higher this preseason. 12:30 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: After the Orange Bowl/Nat’l title combo, as a fan it seems as if we were playing with house money in 2008-09. Expectations a bit higher now. 12:32 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Football expected to win B12 North, Nat’l title hopes for basketball, NCAA tourney bids expected for soccer & women’s hoops, baseball & CWS. 12:38 p.m. May 6 from Web

bryanwheeler2: @smontemayor You and Bill Simmons can have a competition to see who writes more sports-related comments in one day.

smontemayor: @bryanwheeler2 Glad you brought him up. His ESPN The Mag column sums up how athletes now use this medium to spin stories how they wish.

smontemayor: @bryanwheeler2 His take on the Twitter Era: “Access for reporters and writers has dwindled faster than A-Rod’s pectorals.” 1:41 p.m. from Web

smontemayor: Two big stories from Greinke Mania: His fiancee has sports blogs by their pills & Mon nite’s Guy Fieri impersonator further ups KC coverage. 2:30 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Unsure as to what this experiment has yielded. May not read like a traditional sports column but it serves a purpose. Like the Web itself, 2:54 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: Twitter is among the top innovations in communication. Stars may spin stories as they wish but us fans & media can call B.S. as we see fit. 2:54 p.m. May 6 from Web

smontemayor: In 140 characters or less of course... 2:56 p.m. May 6 from Web

Montemayor: Talk sports in 140 characters or less

Don't let the NCAA find out about this column! I'm not sure I'd want John Wall, anyway. He just got arrested for burglary and wouldn't really fit into our starting lineup..
