Poor coaches. There really is no way to contact teenagers other than text messaging. Usually the phones they text on are silenced or they put filters on their email or they set their myspace/facebook pages to private or their parents throw away their snail mail.

There is no other way around this other than to text away. Plus it provides jobs for the kids that coaches hire to actually send the messages. Surely the coaches aren't 1337 enuf 4 that.

Well I'm officially old. I had to look that up.

I will add that my cell phone does not have bluetooth or a camera. Of course my dad just got rid of his bag phone last year, so I still feel pretty cutting edge when I hang out with him.

After a hottie walked by me wearing a tennis dress and nothing under it, I decided that a camera phone might be advisable.

According to some reports, the NCAA's board of governors decided not to reconsider the ban. Looks like the rule will stay as is until it is likely brought to the NCAA annual convention next January.
