Marvin Austin's Twitter account sheds light on UNC player

Posted Jul 20, 2010
Before his Twitter account went dark, UNC defensive tackle Marvin Austin posted more than 2,400 updates and built up a following of more than 1,800 people. The online account provided a social outlet for UNC's outgoing football star, but his Twitter feed has been disabled since news broke Thursday of an NCAA inquiry into the Tar Heels football program.
