It looks like they took the account down, removed all the psycho hosebeast tweets, and put it back up with a new password.  Kudos to Twitter for the appropriate response - but I still want to see screenshots.  I enjoy watching people lose their shit in text form.

its pretty funny shit, and judgeing from the tweets of a couple of the women mentioned in the tweets it looks like its pretty much as advertised, not some joke.

I hate that the word “hacked” or “hacker” gets thrown around so easily. This was not some programmer at work stealing passwords or some mastermind scheme.  It would be like someone using a key to “break in” to a house.  There is not any breaking or hacking going on if you already have the key or password in the first place.

I almost think it'd be a good idea to make a "Digital Security" type course a requirement for all college students (like Interpersonal Communications, or English Composition). They could teach them the basics of ensuring nothing like this ever happens, and show them documented instances of things going wrong (ahem, brett favre) to try and scare them into being more careful with their online persona.  The only way to keep a password 100% secure is to never tell anyone.

I think this would even be a good idea for students who aren't high profile atletes. I think having a good security knowledge would be a good job skill to throw on a resume also. A company would be able to infer that that particular applicant would be less likely to cause some sort of digital house fire, and further, they would also know they wouldn't have to waste too much money or time getting the employee up to speed on their protocols

So glad we didn't have twitter and facebook when I was in school. Heck we didn't even have cell phones.

You hide hide just one block away!

I say stuff like that to my sister's kids and they look at me like I have an arm growing out of my forehead. What really throws them for a loop are the stories of having to go outside and turn the TV aerial in the a snowstorm because my Dad was too cheap to shell out for the automatic antenna rotator. He said I was his automatic antenna rotator

I ended up eating next to one of the receivers at the window counter in Quickie Burger at about one in the morning the night before the Chill, and his game (on the two sorority girls with him) was basically saying "we're going to Denard's apartment after this".

That just blows my mind. Not only does Denard not need game, Denard is game for some people.

This is exactly why people in the spotlight shouldn't have twitter. College atheletes are one thing, because they're still kids to some extent, but politicians and the like....It's extremely unprofessional. I really didn't want to know about Denard's personal life either.

I'm just hoping it doesn't affect him on the field.

Dark Helmet: Denard, you can see we have your defensive coordinator here, you will give us the password to your Twitter account.

King Denard: I will never!

Dark Helmet: King Denard, this is Dr. Phillip ExecutiveSearch, the best Football Coaching Consultant in the universe.

King Denard: I don't understand. My defense has already had a coaching change. It was a gift for the Brady Hoke Hiring.

Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse. If you do not give up the password to your Twitter account, Dr. ExecutiveSearch is going to give your defense back THEIR OLD COACH!

Princess Mattison: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

King Denard: Wait!  Wait!  I'll tell!  I'll tell!

Dark Helmet: I knew it would work!  Alright, give it to me!
King Denard: The combination is... One. 
Dark Helmet: One. 
Colonel Sandurz: One. 
King Denard: Two. 
Dark Helmet: Two. 
Colonel Sandurz: Two. 
King Denard: Three. 
Dark Helmet: Three. 
Colonel Sandurz: Three. 
King Denard: Four. 
Dark Helmet: Four. 
Colonel Sandurz: Four. 
King Denard: Five. 
Dark Helmet: Five. 
Colonel Sandurz: Five. 
Dark Helmet: So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! 
 
 
--later--
 
Coach Fickell: Did it work? Where's the king? 
Dark Helmet: It worked, sir. We have the combination. 
Coach Fickell: Great. Now we can wreak havoc among the Michigan faithful. What's the combination? 
Colonel Sandurz: 1-2-3-4-5 
Coach Fickell: 1-2-3-4-5? 
Colonel Sandurz: Yes! 
Coach Fickell: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.
