Thanks JD. That was awesome! Haven't seen anything like this in, well, forever. So good to see the passion return from our fans!

Unfortunately is wasn't enough, we lost out to LSU

One of those tweeters lifted my Beast of the East avatar photo, which I found after much searching online, and added photos to it. One cool story about me using that photo is that I got a PM from a redmen.com'er who doesn't post much here who recognized the photo, because his sister is one of the cheerleaders in the shot.

The tweets aren't creepy to me, unless the tweeters are more than 30 years old. Tweeters should be in the Sugar Mountain* range.

*Neil Young reference.

I guarantee you at least 80% of the people tweeting are more than 30 years old. Most of them are the same people that are on this website and SJU blogs and tweet about SJU all the time. Trust me, it is not our passionate student fan base of about 50 kids. It is just their way of thinking that they can help their favorite team out. Whether it makes a difference I have no idea, but I doubt it.

If you are right, then I agree wholeheartedly. People who are more than a little beyond the age of student should really refrain from that sort of thing.
