#FollowFriday: @CoachArtBriles and the Twitter Guide for Baylor Athletics

The blog for the Tulsa World posted a list this morning of the most-followed CFB coaches in the country, and shamefully, our own Art Briles ranked only 48th on the list. This cannot stand. If nothing else, consider it our sacred duty today to raise that number. I think we can get 6,000, do you?
