Oklahoma Now Wants Fan Feedback Through Twitter Rather Than Email

NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department has announced it will transition its solicitation of OU men's basketball fan feedback from head coach Lon Kruger's public email address to his Twitter page.

Friday will be the last day for fans to email Kruger at coachkruger@ou.edu.  Instead, OU supporters are encouraged to follow Kruger and reach out to him via his Twitter page (www.Twitter.com/LonKruger).

"Thank you to everyone who has emailed," said Kruger. "The fan reaction has been incredible and our staff and players are very appreciative of the support.  We have received more than 600 emails and we continue to read every message.  Many of them include valuable feedback that will help us improve our program, which was the goal of this public endeavor. 

"One of the reasons we've decided to shift our collection of fan feedback to Twitter is because we believe it will allow us to be more conversational with our supporters."

Kruger has more than 4,000 followers on his Twitter page.
