Their comments appear to be very real. They also follow and are followed by several Bama players who have private Twitter accounts. I was pretty excited to see my follower request from @quintorris today!

That's what makes me think they're not real, no offense, but why would Julio Jones follow you?

You must not be on Twitter or know much about it. The most important thing to most "famous" or soon to be famous people is to have as many followers/people following you as possible. It is all about the numbers. Usually, someone like that will request to follow you after you request to follow them, but he requested me first. He probably signed up, after Mark Ingram urged him to and went down Mark's follower/following list and just requested the people that follow/are followed by Mark. He doesn't care about me personally, but one more person makes his count go up. It may also be because my Twitter page is all about Bama football and that appealed to him. Haha. Seriously, it is about the numbers.

I started following the MI account in question when one of the former Bama players suggested to follow it. I think it was Shaun Alexander that gave MI Jr. the shout out.

Mark Ingram's twitter has mysteriously disappeared and McElroy is now saying he doesn't think Julio's is legit:

Greg McElroy
@quintorris Based on his most recent tweet. I've realized that this is not Julio. Everyone stop following this imposter asap

It's useless following any of these people unless there's a verified check next to their name. Greg is one of the few without the verified check who has said publicly it's his twitter.

He then followed it up with this:

@markingramjr is a fraud too. He sent me a direct message asking for a shout out and I said text me if you are Mark. That text never came!

Also, just saw this and I have no idea what you're talking about. You don't have to follow people to have them follow you.

Conan O'Brien has 2,300,000 followers and he only follows 1 person.

No offense intended, but Julio Jones has no reason to follow you. If someone named Julio Jones is following you on twitter, there's a 100% chance it's not really him.

I believe @quintorris has disappeared as well.

he didnt play at bama but TO is a really good one to follow and something of a bama fan. His tweets during the NC game last year were pretty funny.
I really like TO. He doesn't take plays off like so many WRs. He may be something of a Bama fan but I wish he would take time to help his alma mater, Chattanooga. By the way, what is his tweet address?

I made an honest attempt to do the Twitter thing over the past couple of weeks.

Couldn't stand it. You have to have ADHD to even manage the darn thing. Those of us who think linearly can't deal.

I deactivated my account today. Give me a good old-fashioned message board or facebook any day of the week.
