So as most of you know, we’re VERY thankful for Twitter, especially in the summer months, as it helps us stay active without writing a bunch more gimmicky stuff on here during the offseason when we ran out of those gimmicks three years ago. Plus it’s incredible for connecting with other non-power conference dorks like us. \u00a0And now…<\/p>\n

…Duke Dog is on Twitter. Because of course he is, and we’re betting he’ll have exactly the kind of boring, PR-filled, yes-man bullsh*t that everyone already hates on FB and has infiltrated Twitter more and more over the last couple years. But still, it’s @TheJMUDukeDog and of all the JMU athletics accounts, it’s sort of a must.<\/p>\n

Summertime = All Duke Dog, All the Time!<\/p><\/div>\n

But more interesting, and considerably more substantive, to take take you through the home stretch of the college offseason (46 days to Maryland!), is the fairly cool idea from the new-look, and apparently newly-imagined, JMU Sports official site to have a student-athlete (NCAA-endorsed term!) blog from Senior Volleyball standout Meghan Niski <\/a>as she’s competing this summer in the European Global Challenge tournament in Croatia and Montenegro as a member of some kind of Midwest All-Star U22 squad. \u00a0Congrats and good luck to Meghan and please write frequently.<\/p>\n
