The Twitterati Hunt For a Win

by Ben Cohen on March 2, 2009

Maybe it was the rain, maybe it was the weekend, but for some reason, the Twitterati weren’t so active during Duke’s 72-65 win over Virginia Tech Saturday. Then again, it’s Virginia Tech and not Maryland or North Carolina. The best of the best:

For what it’s worth, Gerald Henderson and Mike Krzyzewski seemed equally baffled by [...]

Gerald Henderson Rocks The Twitterati’s World

by Ben Cohen on February 26, 2009

The Twittersphere has erupted with users in the last two weeks, but it truly exploded Wednesday night when Gerald Henderson decided he wanted to reprise his recurring role on SportsCenter’s top plays. Search “Henderson” on Twitter, and you’ll see at least two pages of lauding Tweets, with descriptions of the junior’s dunk ranging from “redonkulous” [...]

The Twitterati’s Prayers Are Answered

by Ben Cohen on February 23, 2009

Not even the Twitterati knew what to expect before Duke’s 101-91 win over Wake Forest Sunday. When we called for predictions on Twitter, no one called for career performances from Gerald Henderson and Jon Scheyer—but to be fair, if anyone had, we’d be sufficiently spooked. All rationality about this team was dismissed long ago. So [...]

In The City That Never Sleeps, It’s A Boring Night For The Twitterati

David Cutcliffe Joins Twitter

by Ben Cohen on February 19, 2009

Early in a conversation with the Duke head coach today, I mentioned Twitter—and not long after, David Cutcliffe was Tweeting away on his laptop and BlackBerry from his fourth-floor office in the Yoh Football Center. The biggest decision of the day was not to join, but rather, what username he should [...]

The Twitterati Find Themselves Abused And Disappointed

by Ben Cohen on February 16, 2009

We usually try to find Tweets from Duke fans, not haters, for our Twitterati reviews. It was hard to differentiate between the two Sunday—even the most ardent Duke fans questioned their loyalty after an 80-74 loss at Boston College.

Good thing Hirsh is a medical student at Duke. If the Blue Devils make him sicker, maybe [...]

The Twitterati’s Gods Cry For Duke

by Ben Cohen on February 12, 2009

Duke and UNC were Twitter trends all game long, and if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry—we don’t really, either. But we do know how to parse through a few pages of Tweets and pick out some of our favorites!

That’s fair, Katy, but it would be nice to enhance that experience with a [...]
