DALLAS (SMU) - In an effort to keep fans updated with the latest information on what's going on in and around SMU Athletics, SMU's official athletics website, SMUMustangs.com, and two of its head coaches, June Jones and Matt Doherty, are using Twitter.

You can find the SMU Athletics page on Twitter by clicking here, Coach Jones by clicking here, and Coach Doherty by clicking here.

Twitter pages are updated with "Tweets" (messages sent via Twitter) that contain breaking news, up-to-the-minute headlines, insight and links that can't be found anywhere else.

You can receive SMU Athletics updates via Twitter through the Web, on your mobile phone, via instant messaging (IM) or through e-mail. Whichever way you choose, you will always stay up to date with the Mustangs.

Mustang fans can add the Twitter pages to their own blog, Facebook page or other social networking site. More information on how to do this can be found here.
