Interesting. Not sure what to make of this. I'm on Twitter but don't follow MT football. And I would consider myself one of the die hards.

I would love to know what Western Michigan's number was be this time a year ago.

I'm not on twitter but follow ODU Football/Basketball and "ODU Blitz" page which is the Va Pilot coverage all on Facebook.
RE: G5 Football Twitter Followers - cmett003 - 06-20-2017 12:01 PM
Make sure you are following your team and other C-USA teams.

I guess I just haven't viewed it as a viable place to get good or new information. And after going and looking at it I was right. Twitter viewership is only going to be as good as the activity level of the account.
About all our program tweets about is our players birthdays.

Absolutely nothing. For example, Charlotte's AD account has 30K and Old Dominion's has 11k.

Are you saying its good that people follow the athletics page and not the football page? You are just mad cause you are hurting the average.
RE: G5 Football Twitter Followers - ThreeifbyLightning - 06-20-2017 12:20 PM
The main AD Twitter I do follow. Better info there. The football Twitter manager needs some help.

Facebook seems to be the same way. Charlotte's individual sports aren't highly active it seems but the "Charlotte 49er's" page has 40k likes.

Well I'm glad UTEP's official football account isn't verified. We would have the lowest followers of all the G5s at 1.8. Maybe even in all of FBS. I believe both our football and basketball twitter accounts are relatively new. The main source of information would come from the official Athletics Department page which has 88.3 followers.
