LSU football coach says he'll Twitter during games

Les Miles, head football coach at Louisiana State University, has a lot to say during games.
With his baseball cap squeezed tightly around his head, he shouts at players, referees and, who knows, the fates themselves.
However, it appears that he doesn't feel he says enough. Or, perhaps, that he isn't heard enough. For Miles has now decided he needs to Twitter.
Oh, not merely to tell his fellow coaches, boosters and the rest of Louisiana's finest that he's just had a tuna sandwich. No, Miles intends to Twitter before and after games. And during half-time.
Recently, legendary NBA Twitterer Carlos Villanueva of the Milwaukee Bucks was reprimanded by his coach, Scott Skiles, for a half-time tweet or two.
However, Miles thinks Twitter offers him a new way to communicate. Well, let's call it strategic communication. Otherwise known as recruiting.
