Want to be the voice of University of Michigan basketball? It's possible if you can say why in 140 characters or less

Are you adept at expressing your thoughts in 140-character snippets?

If so, the University of Michigan basketball team has a job for you.

The athletic department is looking for a tweeter to be the voice of Wolverines basketball in the 2012-13 season. According to the department, the individual would connect with fans throughout game day under the Twitter monicker @umichbball, the official basketball twitter account for the school.

Sounds fun, right?

Those interested should submit a tweet that sums up why they're the best pick and a season preview writing sample of 100 words.

Be warned: The position comes with no pay, but the tweeter does get free tickets, an all-access pass to practice and free food.

According to the athletic department posting, candidates must be available for all games during the 2012-13 season, including the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament. Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, Oct.16.

The athletic department held a similar contest for basketball last year.
