Boylen Jumps Into Twitter Trend
Coach Jim Boylen is enjoying his first family vacation in four years, with his wife and children in beautiful San Diego.

How do we know?

He's telling us about it on Twitter.

Indeed, the coach has started using the latest hot social-networking site to keep fans apprised of what's happening in his program and no doubt expand his appeal among potential recruits. He's not the first coach to use it, even at the U. — football coach Kyle Whittingham is on there, too, with 280 followers at the moment, compared to 76 for Boylen.

But Boylen just fired it up a few days ago — and couldn't use the “Jimmy Ball” moniker he wanted. Somebody else named Jim Ball had already claimed it. “Wait until I get ahold of that guy,” Boylen joked. In a tweet, of course.
