I'm sure others have but I just can't recall a head coach coming out and using a little common sense. Quotes are from an interview by Jim Rome with Boise Corch Chris Petersen concerning his ban on the twatters since 2010.
"It really doesn't come up around here," Petersen said on The Jim Rome Show. "They get that. I still believe strongly in that just because I think it can be emotional, and all of a sudden they hit that send button, and five minutes later, they're going, 'Oh.' There are so many other forms of media out there.
"I think they're scared to death we're going to take away Instagram, and Facebook, and Vine and all those other things, so they don't say a word about Twitter because it is so much the same. The important thing is, there are a lot of other social media outlets that our kids do use, and they do know, if they're not smart and careful with it, well, that may go away as well. It's a privilege to be here, it's a privilege to play college football.
"And if you're not doing it the right way and representing this university, your family and the rest of your teammates the way they need to be represented, then you don't need to be on that stuff."
