Hood and Locke going at it on twitter...

He and Dee need to get off the twitter if they aren't going to have a backbone. Sorry to those 2, but the team deserves some criticism after that choke. I'm tired of teams using the damn Thursday-Saturday turnaround as an excuse. We had back to back HOME games. That tells me all I really need to know about this team. They won't go far in tourney play because they will always have the fatigue excuse to fall back on.
them - especially if it's someone you cover - then you should stop.
Locke seemed like an *** about this.

Locke's an *** about most everything. He loves to fuela fire with his retweets and sarcasm.dawgstudent said:
but Hood does reserve the right to make his twitter account private. Journalism is a rather dirty game and I can't really blame Locke for trying to get some kind of a scoop, but damn...he looked like a complete douche.
Locke saying "Think, then Tweet..." sounds so dick-ish. Why is he responding to players he covers? It's not his place to give them advice of any kind. That's immature on his part, at best. Just STFU, Locke, and go shave your cheesy goatee... And I like that Hood said, "I'm not yo 'dude'..." ha!
retweeting him. But once someone asks you - you should stop. IT's not like he was writing an article. He was tapping "retweet" once. No effort on his part what so ever.
Furthermore, to our fans tweeting to our players, talking ****; Grow up. That is chicken ****. While our team deserves some criticism for the loss, it's complete ******** to attack the players, personally.
I guess where I had my main issue at was if Locke really felt the need to give advice, he definitely could have went about it differently. A simple, "Sorry about that. But for future reference, be careful about the things that you say. People are always watching you." would not have been that hard to say.
It's not really surprising. Sometimes people in his profession hide behind the "I'm just doing my job" card for the most silly ****. What I am surprised about though is he didn't retweet Hood's comment directly to Locke asking him not to retweet. That would have been par for the course.
Seriously, look at this thing objectively. If we saw that Kellenberger got into a hissy fit with a Rebel through twitter over some damn retweets the reporter would be the one looking silly and not the player so this isn't just "fans being fans" as Locke so cunningly put it in a recent tweet.<div>
</div><div>The guy is absolutely miserable at everything he does and if I am Hood I just ignore his questions at the next press conference cause he reserves the right not to answer his questions as much as Locke reserves the right to retweet him.</div><div>
</div><div>I am all for pulling his **** down from the top of the board too and I have already hit that unfollow button on twitter and don't think it would be terrible if everyone else did because the reason this is a topic is because we made it one by following the dumbass to begin with (myself included).

I have zero issue with Locke retweeting Hood even after he said stop because Hood has control to block him and make his account private and I do think it is relevant information and he is a reporter "doing his job".<div>
</div><div>The issue is an arrogant reporter feeling the need to get the last word in and lecture a college freshman while claiming to be a "professional" and then to the point of bragging afterwards like he accomplished something.<div>
</div><div>What the hell did he accomplish? I think Hood proved to be the bigger man by stopping the banter between Locke and just going about his business rather than trying to one up the dumbass by getting the last word in. Off my soap box! I'm out!</div> </div>

A good, old-fashinled country *** whippin'. He never should have been given the MSU beat. He was a mediocre high school reporter and the DJ was too cheap to get a real writer with some skills to take Gregg Ellis' place. I could say more, and the beer i have tossed down tonight really wants to talk for me, but I won't. Well, except suck balls locke!
Hood is a class act and has already become a fan favorite. After a ****** loss Locke is retweeting everything hood says literally 30 seconds after he says it. When Hood asks him to stop, Locke chastises him like an *******. It takes an 18 year old freshmen to ask a "professional" to treat him with the same respect that he extends to Locke and the others.
