Am I the only one who thinks this is abusing twitter?

I mean... why put pressure on Dan to do something like that? Let him coach. He's not your buddy or your megaphone to the world.</font></div></div></div></div>

A LOT of coaches, celebs, ........... tweet when they feel like it but also have someone that reads all of their stuff and tweets out things when appropriate.

Yes, I agree with you that it is abusing twitter, but I am not so sure that Mullen is missing any valuable time replying to tweets like that. I am guessing a grad student handles some of the twitter BS.

it appears she works for the university and may have some professional relationship with Coach, so that takes a tidbit of stupidity off of the request. Let a man retweet what he wants to without the public peer pressure of doing so. "If you don't retweet this then you must be a communist."

Prayers sent.

Richard Akins was an Assistant Strength Coach that retired back in 2003? I imagine after spending 20 years with the football program it was hard to completely stay away. I can only guess this may be his wife? <div>
</div><div>edit*** did not work with the football program but directed the strength training for all of the other athletic teams. Link to an article in the reflector</div>

There is a way that you can unfollow chronic retweeters retweets though.

It's the fact that this Akins lady sends a personal message out and expects our head coach to send it to his masses...

When I heard the soldiers died today, I said a little prayer myself... but I don't expect anyone else to perform the same sentiment.
