re: J'mon Moore going after Mizzou fans on twitter

He has all the potential in the world, just needs to back up the potential with catches.

As far as social media - it's made things so difficult for players, in many ways. It provides basically unlimited access for every dickhead fan, including opposing fans, and people are absolutely vicious when they luxuriate in anonymity. I can't imagine now frustrated players feel. I"m not surprised that they will strike back using the same media. If I were the coach, I'd ban twitter for the season. They just don't need it, it just creates numerous problems.

The players ask for it by almost begging for strangers to follow them. Particularly during recruiting.

Truth. And as much as fans can help on social media during recruiting, it's just bad during the season. I remember feeling so bad for James Franklin - he took an absolute beating on twitter. I was shocked at how hateful people were to him. That was the first one I remember being deluged with hateful messages. People get drunk and say things on social media they would never attach their names to. Sad.
