Kentucky Sports Radio

As part of the never-ending quest to bring you University of Kentucky news in the most ridiculous manner possible, I comb the Twitter-verse each week for the funniest, oddest, and sometimes, nearly illegible tweets from your favorite players and personalities. Basically, I read Twitter so you don’t have to. Without further ado, here are the best tweets of the week.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist surprised the team by flying in for last night’s game. Let’s just say we all got a little verklempt:

Had fun at the game tonight.. Aint nothing like that “Kentucky Love”

— Mike Kidd-Gilchrist (@MikeGillie14) January 3, 2013

Please, ain’t nothing like that MKG.

New motto for the rest of this season: WWMKGD? (minus that whole buying $500 shark sweaters thing).

Rex Champan was also at the game last night. Nice seats, King Rex:

Love when rotation guys root hard, like this, for the walk-on’s during blowout-wins. #WalkOns #Warriors #thanklessjob twitter.com/rexchapman/sta…

— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 3, 2013

Rex’s daughter certainly enjoyed meeting Josh Hutcherson, aka Peeta from The Hunger Games:

#Bucky !!! “@itstatumchapman: Had the best time at the Basketball game meeting Josh Hucherson😍 #teempeeta @jhutch1992 twitter.com/itsTatumChapma…“

#TeamPeeta

The team may be playing better, but that didn’t stop Cal from giving them some chores, according to his daughter:

My dad literally made all of the players clean their rooms the other day. #LaFamilia for real. Welcome to the fam boys.

— Erin Calipari (@TheErinCalipari) January 3, 2013

He did say “this isn’t going to be easy”.And keeping your dorm room clean is certainly not. #shitCoachCalsays

— Erin Calipari (@TheErinCalipari) January 3, 2013

Other #ShitCoachCalSays about cleaning your room:

“We can’t hide your trash here.”
“This room will be in good shape by February.”
“Willie Cauley-Stein vacuumed the fifth most times and he’s got the cleanest room on the hall.”
“I like my room.”
“We’re a dust-first program.”
“Keeping your room clean isn’t for everyone.” H/t to Aaron Flener

Why were their rooms so dirty? They must be taking cues from Billy Madison:

My teammates got me weak off the movie Billy Madison hahahaha

Twany, if you enjoyed that, I also recommend Tommy Boy and Happy Gilmore. The mid-90′s were so good for comedy…

It looks like the pool tables in the Wildcat Coal Lodge got some good use over the break. Is that a UK Christmas tree I see back there?

Good break @dabig52 instagr.am/p/T-D_fiPioq/

Did anyone else know that Bobby Perry was in a band?

Check out our newest song. drunk Tonight. youtube.com/watch?v=QRnCs3…

— Bobby Perry (@BobbyPerry13) January 2, 2013

Get on with your keyboard-playing self, Bobby!

Anthony Epps ain’t got no time for sleeve rollers:

Pep peeve: ppl that wear long sleeve shirts and then roll da sleeves up all day…just wear a short sleeve shirt y don’t u..

— Anthony Epps (@aepps25) January 2, 2013

More #AnthonyEppsFashionPolice:

Can someone get Keyla some noise-canceling earphones?

The same two crying babies from my flight last week are on this one too . 😧😩 . I jus wanna nap.

Never doubt how much Perry Stevenson hates Louisville. He posted this after the Cats lost on Saturday:

If ur one of those “fans” that harass ur team when we lose… Ur an idiot, I wanna punch u & personally see that u move out of the state.

— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) December 30, 2012

….and there’s the second stage of coping with a rivalry loss: drinking.

In other news, I scraped ice off the car with a cup… Is it frowned upon to just use the ice for my “adult” drink? Lol

— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) December 30, 2012

Enes’ message says to be safe, but that wink means get wild!

Happy New Years Everybody!!!! Be safe tonight

— Enes Kanter (@Enes_Kanter) January 1, 2013

Rex not only got to sit courtside last night, but he also watched the team practice earlier in the week:

Checked-out Cal & these ‘Cats #WORKIN on New Year’s Eve a bit earlier. Got after it. #Teachin #Learnin #Runnin #Hoopin twitter.com/rexchapman/sta…

— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 1, 2013

What move do you think Cal is trying to teach Jarrod right there? The robot?

You know Patrick Patterson rang the New Year in with style:

It’s gonna b a good night #aceofspades twitter.com/pdpatt/status/…

— Patrick Patterson (@pdpatt) January 1, 2013

Let’s just hope he didn’t drive that nice new car after drinking that bottle:

My new ride. #BmwM6Coupe instagr.am/p/T34r9ksJ7y/

— Patrick Patterson (@pdpatt) December 30, 2012

Walter McCarty is officially a grumpy old man:

If your underage and your drinking tonight I hope you get caught lol #HappyAndSafeNewYear

— Walter McCarty (@waltermccarty) January 1, 2013

Things I don’t understand: why people take Instagram pictures of what is basically a tweet and then send them out on Twitter. Do they like the fancy fonts? It seems like a lot of work…

Stay safe my friends #HappyNewYear instagr.am/p/T7FLzmN0Dg/

The NBA isn’t always glamorous, as Darius Miller learned this week when he was sent to the D-League to play for the Iowa Energy:

What yall know about Des Moines, Iowa??

— Darius Miller (@uknum1) December 31, 2012

Leave Darius some suggestions on things to do in Des Moines in the comments section.

Fun fact: Patrick Towles has a scar from chasing a dog under a rocking chair.

#StoryBehindMyScar running.after my Jack Russel when he ran under a rocking chair so i went after him… head first…

— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) January 3, 2013

Also, is he calling out some of his teammates for wanting to transfer?

Despite my buddies being stupid i am not going anywhere #BBN #GoCats

— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) January 3, 2013

Tell ‘em, Patrick!

You can laugh at my team for winning 2 games this last season, but you’re going to cry later when we start upsetting teams. I BELIEVE #BBN

— Patrick Graffree (@PatGraffree52) January 3, 2013

Know how I know Rich Brooks is still true blue? He called the Cards’ win over Florida impressive but “painful“:

Fla is getting killed by the Cards. Got to admire what coach Strong has done there. Painful but very impressive.

— Rich Brooks (@UKcoachbrooks) January 3, 2013

I kind of like “Lare Bear” too…

@wardaddy_67 but I like lare bear:(

Is anybody else wondering why Stone Cold Willow is sending shirtless pictures of himself to Patrick Towles?

“@stonecoldwillow: @patty_ice14 this will take you to the SEC Championship in the Georgia dome twitter.com/StoneColdWillo…“@morganfunsmith

— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) January 2, 2013

I’ll never look at Hershey’s Kisses the same again.

Songs I did not expect Taylor Wyndham to tweet: Adele’s “Someone Like You.”

Adele – Someone Like You @cummy72_ @j_mer11 @matt_smith69 brining in 2013 right #Adele youtu.be/7AW9C3-qWug

— Taylor Wyndham (@TaylorWyndham) January 1, 2013

Maybe that’s how he got so much eye black under his eyes… #runningmascara

The “Rich Brooks Retirement Shot of the Day” shows us Papa’s beautiful view on New Year’s Eve:

Happy Year from the Ca desert. Will play golf today and bring in the New Year tonight. Sunrise! twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

— Rich Brooks (@UKcoachbrooks) December 31, 2012

Papa, you let me know if you need a caddy…or someone to water the garden. I’m a multi-tasker!

In this week’s “Who Up,” Doron Lamb treats himself to one his favorite indulgences: a pedicure. That’s great and all, but is he wearing any pants?!

#TweetThatMakesYouGoAww had to go to Josh Harrellson, who posted this old picture of himself and his sister on Instagram for “Throwback Thursday”:

In the “Bookie Tweet of the Week,” Bookie shows off some of his “Christmas swag”…are those a pair of Santa’s pants??

Waist on down.. twitter.com/bookie3_FLYA/s…
