The Big 12's Twitter must-follows

Bruce Feldman released his list of ten must-follows on Twitter around the college football landscape.

Only one Big 12 player, Blaine Gabbert (aka @BlaineGabbert) made his list, but he's not the only guy in the conference giving fans an inside look at his day-to-day life.

Plenty of players around the league are prevented from opening accounts on the site, and if I'm a coach, I'd prevent my players from using it, too. One less thing to worry about.

Lucky for us, not all of the conference's coaches feel the same way.

Here a few others around the Big 12 who, if you're on Twitter, you should be following:

Von Miller, linebacker, Texas A&M

Twitter alias: @MillerLite40

The sack master let fans inside camp, including a few sneak peeks of his impressive new hair.

  1. Von Miller MillerLite40 Two-a-Dayz http://yfrog.com/ccq1hpj

Derrick Washington, running back, Missouri

Twitter alias: @Wash24

Washington tags most of his posts these days with Missouri's unofficial slogan entering 2010, "Get money!"

  1. Derrick Washington Wash24 The O bounced back with a big win in todays practice after losing 2 ina row! You can say we #GotMoney, if you will lol! #GetMoney!

Neal Brown, offensive coordinator, Texas Tech

Twitter alias:@CoachNealBrown

By far the most informative member of the list, Brown gives updates on standouts from practice almost daily.

  1. Neal Brown CoachNealBrown Both QB's threw the ball really well today. Others who impressed were Batch, James, Franks, Torres, Stephens. Pleased with OL today.

Austen Arnaud, quarterback, Iowa State

Twitter alias: @Austen_4

Arnaud's account already made one appearance on the blog after he tweeted photos of flood damage around Ames. One of his best recent hits was an update on a dinner for his offensive line, free of charge, thanks to Arnaud and running back Alexander Robinson.

  1. Austen_4 Austen_4 73 dollar bill for the big boys to eat .. .44 cents a wing too.... do the math .. good work!

Jerrod Johnson, quarterback, Texas A&M

Twitter alias: @JerrodJohnson1

Johnson finds it tough to hide his excitement for the season. Not that he should hide it.

  1. Jerrod Johnson JerrodJohnson1 Up bright & early, 2 more weeks to polish up this offenisve machine we got goin down here in college station!!!

Tyler Hansen, quarterback, Colorado

Twitter alias: @THansen999

Hansen wasn't much for updates on the quarterback competition, but he's pretty consistent about revealing his television preferences.

  1. Tyler Hansen THansen999 Hard knocks is on don't bother me for the next hour

Scotty McKnight, wide receiver, Colorado

Twitter alias: @SMcKnight21

McKnight sounds like he's enjoying the fruits of four years spent in the classroom before this season.

  1. Scotty McKnight smcknight21 Great practice this morning and now hangin all day. Life of a 5th yr senior is awesome haha

Baron Batch, running back, Texas Tech

Twitter user name: @baron_batch

Batch is tweeting photos from places few fans get to go ... or want to go.

  1. Baron Batch baron_batch The cold tub is no fun! http://yfrog.com/ndqy2kj

Bill Snyder, coach, Kansas State

Twitter alias: @CoachBillSnyder

Snyder's not much for the candid update, but he can be entertaining and informative from time to time.

  1. Bill Snyder CoachBillSnyder Proud to have so many former Kansas State players attending our opener. We hope to exceed the 300 that attended last year’s opener.
