They're confirming he was at practice, and add to it that the only way to get a tweet onto CLM's twitter home page (the page only CLM can see) is to do it through Barksdale's twitter account (other than a direct private message). I don't have a problem believing it was some idiot floriduh fan, I would say an old miss fan but they don't have internet access.
It was the Iranian's who did this to Barksdale Hackers Briefly Bring Down Twitter A WALL STREET JOURNAL NEWS ROUNDUP Twitter suffered a hacker attack in the early hours of Friday morning, which made its home page redirect to a site for the "Iranian Cyber Army." Twitter later Friday morning posted an update that said its domain name records "were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed'' and promised another update "once we've investigated more fully.'' Hackers briefly blocked access to Twitter, steering traffic to another Web site. Above, a screenshot of the site, as posted by TechCrunch.com Iranian reformist Web site Mowjcamp also appeared to be hacked by the same group, and remained down into Friday. Tech Web site TechCrunch has a number of screenshots and video of the hacks, which also affected Google's listing for the sites, according to the TechCrunch postings. It wasn't immediately clear who was responsible for the attacks. However, the attack comes as social media's role in Iran has been in the spotlight in recent months. As The Wall Street Journal recently reported, Iran has been conducting a campaign of harassing and intimidating members of its diaspora world-wide -- not just prominent dissidents -- who criticize the regime, according to former Iranian lawmakers and former members of Iran's elite security force, the Revolutionary Guard, with knowledge of the program. Part of the effort involves tracking the Facebook, Twitter and YouTube activity of Iranians around the world, and identifying them at opposition protests abroad, these people say. The crisis in Iran started with June's controversial re-election of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Claims of vote fraud spawned massive street protests, and a bloody crackdown.
Exactly. The picture in the first post says it was posted from ubertwitter, which is a mobile device app.
You think players are walking around at practice sending out texts?:rolleye33: You'ld have to be an idiot to believe Barksdale really sent out that tweet.
He can't make it home for Christmas because he's leaving for the Cap One bowl with the team on the 26th, doesn't make sense to say coming to LSU was a mistake. Not many good reasons for missing Christmas with the family but playing for a major Div I-A team in a major bowl seems like a good one.
Yeah but if he had gone to Michigan, he'd be home for Christmas. I sure hope what is being reported is true, that he didn't send the tweet. He may be unhappy at LSU but I can't believe he feels its the biggest mistake of his life. Question? Is his girlfriend at LSU or back in Meeeeeeshigun?
