Happy President’s Day from all of us at SCACCHoops! Right after the New Year began, we gave you the @HokieGuru Twitter 200, including a sample of college sports (e.g. football, men’s basketball, and college hockey) 100 bloggers and 100 media accounts that you should follow on Twitter. We also put out a call to get some nominations for those that we missed. So, that’s what we have here today… this is our President’s Day gift to you readers.
Make sure you give this other accounts a follow because they provide some good insight. Without further ado, here we go:
