You may have seen my recent report that exactly 50% of D1 head football coaches are utilizing twitter.

Purdue head coach Danny Hope does have a twitter account, but Hope admitted today, "I just don't get it."

Following Wednesday's practice, Hope said, "Our recent signing class had a chance to bond some throughout the recruiting process.  They connected through twitter and facebook, so that's a good thing."

"Personally, I'm not a big tweet guy.  I do have a twitter account, but all I really use my twitter account for is on an occasional basis, I'll tweet some things, some facts about football.  To me, tweeting is a lot like keeping a diary.  Back in the day, men didn't keep diaries to share our secrets, so I don't get the twitter thing.  It doesn't excite me a whole lot."

"I'll be okay the rest of my life without it.  It just isn't me.  I just don't get it.  Normally if I've got some personal business, I keep it to myself."

"I don't get it.  Maybe I'm just too old."
