UCONN not doing so great in the number of twitter followers of athletic programs

[ZenConn]

Absolutely no correlation between twitter followers and winning. I prefer WINNING!

In 1989 when I went to Michigan for graduate school there were people who didn't know what UConn was. I remember one girl asking me if it was in Canada (Yukon). .

When I told my grandmother (who was born and raised in SF) that I was attending UCONN in 1990 she asked me the same thing. She couldn't figure out why I wanted to go to school in Canada when there were so many wonderful schools in the United States. UCONN's brand recognition is definitely improved since then.

We have Jim Calhoun to thank for that.

Where did Rutgers rank? Regardless, someone better start drafting up a banner or trophy to put with all of their football recruiting hardware in their "off the playing field" trophy case. It will fit nicely between their "season ticket waiting list in 2007" trophy and their "top 5 rated college football games in New York" trophy.

Yeah, but how many twitter followers does he have?

That's what really counts.

The problem might be that the vast majority of UConn fans/alumni have lives.

duckk Twitter. Facebook Lite.

That explains the drop in my followers.

A day in the TWITTER life of TheRogers:

No way Jim can pronounce twitter. Doesn't even know what the internet is.

we're a national brand, which is why we're one of the few lead schools Nike uses

can't believe I have to say that

And yet, a bunch of hicks in Kentucky, Michigan and North Carolina seem to have it sussed out no problem at all. Plenty of college educated folks up our way...where's the uptake?

I did not suggest--nor do I believe--that there is any correlation between education and the use of Facebook and Twitter. To the extent I draw an inference about the relationship between the two, it is an inverse one.

Good point the show exploded on twitter but had lousy ratings.
