Seriously, the kid has game. Oh, I know, there are some in the pole-up-their-tuchus contingent of Hoya followers who DON'T SEE HOW ANY PLAYERS HAVE TIME TO USE TWITTER, but I was just on Casual Hoya and saw the Hoya Twitter feed.
Look at Henry's latest:
I don't chase down purse snatchers... I just watch.. Then approach the purseless women and tell her that I'm glad I'm not in her position
That, my friends, is the twitter equivalent of a triple double. If HS isn't going to get any more PT next season, at least give the kid a blackberry on the bench and let him tweet away.

Is that supposed to be a metaphor for something? Maybe purse snatchers are loose balls ricocheting off a basket, and Coach is a purseless woman? SMH.

Oh come on, you left out the 2 previous tweets which gave what you posted any sort of context. Henry has decided to take a super-hero alter ego as "Regular Man" who stands for doing whatever is regular or common - for instance, not chasing down purse snatchers, or if the house is burning, only rescuing the X-Box. No word on whether #regularlife will be a more effective movement than #swaglife or #savagelife, but Henry really needs to be recognized as the Big East Tweeter of the Year. Can we get some sort of award like that going? twitter.com/Simsity30 |

Thanks TC for the context. Yeah, really. I was gonna say: This is kinda funny but also makes him sound kind of like an ass. Context helped. His tweets are awesome regardless. |

Yeah that was hilarious. Basically made fun of the small size of Jason's laptop all day long, which he punctuated with a picture of Jason's laptop next to a normal-sized one. I remember Vaughn had a pretty good stand-up routine going on a bus ride home from a road trip, IIRC. But I still think Henry is the Twitter king. That said, Twitter is weird. |

Earlier in the year, I "confessed" to following our players on Twitter. Henry on Twitter is truly out. I'm still ashamed to admit that I get so much entertainment from following our guys, especially Henry. But I see I'm not alone. ;D (Slinks away from the computer to go hide...)

The Regular Man thing started when a tweet-debate broke out between the Hoya starters this weekend about who was truly a regular guy. For example Chris said Greg couldn't be a regular guy because he is a lottery pick. Henry would later claim that he was the true regular guy and one just needed to look at the stats he put up this season for proof.  Gotta love self deprecation. |

Update: What's happening with this today over at Casual Hoya is - in all seriousness - one of the greatest interactions between fans and athletes I've ever seen. Absolutely hilarious stuff from Regularman, swagman and casualman. Check it out.

our front court could use a little gorilla/guerrilla, vanilla or otherwise - I hope Vanilla G shows up on some signs and tshirts next year, i hope he earns that.

I like Casual Hoya's Jersey Shore awards, but this hot dog/H.O.R.S.E. challenge thing is way too attention-whorey. They've jumped the Nikita.
