Fun's over.
UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp has now apologized for his tweet earlier today about Krzyzewskiville. Sheesh. And this Chancellor/President feud was just showing some promise.
Sheesh.
"Sorry about the tent/Kville Tweet. Both U's have great students. I shouldn't have gotten carried away by our rivalry in basketball."
Well, I suppose that was fun while it lasted.
Thorp's apology came just after I used my journalistic cunning to pry this response out of Duke President Richard Brodhead:
"Hey Holden, someone hacked your Twitter account to talk trash. May the best team win. From the land of TRUE Blue, Dick."
Some context: Thorp's comments came during a digital town hall discussion on innovation.
Okay. Everyone get back to work.

Arrogance

Hey Thorp, have you ever heard of Marvin Austin, the tweet master?
"Tweeting" is a timebomb
Wed, 02/09/2011 - 15:50 — AgentPierceThe immediacy and impulsiveness of "tweeting" is a liability a high profile figure does not need. Blurt out 140 characters, hit send .... and DUCK!!!
Unless one is a Kardashian and theres no such thing as bad publicity, it's best left to teen-agers and convicts.
