Dave Rubio wants 2 B your BFF, IMHO

You may be aware that there's a movement out there to regulate text messaging of athletic recruits. Anna Chappel, a former Arizona basketball player and chair of the Division I student-athlete advisory committee, claims that student-athletes want text messages eliminated.

"If you don't stop it now, what roads are you going to have to cross later on?" she said in an Arizona Daily Star article.

Very ominous.

But Dave Rubio has a different opinion. He's much more down with the youth of today.

"The preferred way of communicating for young people today is by text messaging," he said.

That's our Davey. He sounds like the editor of Teen Vogue making an appearance on the "Today" show, doesn't he?

"Coming up, Matt makes cool summer finger sandwiches, Al will have the latest weather, and Meredith Vieira talks with Teen Vogue's Dave Rubio on all the hot new trends with today's teens. That's later, on 'Today.'"
