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.
Nerlens Noel may be a beast on the court, but off the court, he’s an ole softie. In addition to visiting the Lexington Special Olympics basketball league, Nerlens invited his friend Reece to live out every kid’s dream of visiting the UK locker room after Tuesday night’s game:
Me and Reece in the locker room #PostGame twitter.com/NerlensNoel3/s…
— Nerlens Noel (@NerlensNoel3) January 16, 2013
That may be the cutest picture ever. In fact, it’s this week’s “Tweet That Makes You Go Aww.”
Anthony Davis has some wise words for Kentucky fans:
Big Blue fans stay with these young boys. #BBN #UK

It’s no secret that we love Doron Lamb around here, especially Doron Lamb on Twitter. This week, Doron tackled the world’s biggest mystery: love. Here are some questions Doron asked his followers:
Question for the ladies If yall had to pick a guy with mess up feet or mess up teeth? Which one
— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) January 14, 2013
Messed up feet. That’s why socks exist.
Question for the guys if u had to pick a girl with a nice body wit a ok face or a cute girl with no body? Which one
— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) January 14, 2013
I’ll let the guys answer in the comment section…would you rather have a butterface or a butterbody?
Who got better looking girls NYC or NJ?
— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) January 14, 2013
Has to be NYC, right? Also, yes, Doron, this looks nice and would be an excellent engagement ring for your lady of choice:
Look nice twitter.com/DLamb20/status…

Erik Daniels is tired of hearing about Manti Te’o:
I’m tired of hearing about manti. how can u call someone your girlfriend w/o meeting them
— Erik Daniels (@danielserik) January 17, 2013
So is Antoine Walker:
ESPN is blowing this manti situation out of control ..
— Antoine Walker (@WalkerAntoine8) January 17, 2013
Is this going to hurt his draft stock?
— Antoine Walker (@WalkerAntoine8) January 17, 2013
I’m going to go with Yes.
Eloy points out how this could all have been avoided:
He don’t have Skype? He shoulda Skype her!! Smh
— Eloy Vargas (@EVargas30) January 17, 2013
Even Tony Vanetti got in on the latest craze: Te’oing.
Te’oing at LAC twitter.com/tonyvanetti/st…
— tony vanetti (@tonyvanetti) January 17, 2013
Look at Tony being up on the times.
Heads up, guys: International Single Awareness Day is right around the corner…

Rex Chapman wrote an article for NCAA.com describing who he thinks are the five best players in the country. Nerlens Noel is among them, but another fellow Cat almost made his list: Willie Cauley-Stein.
I was torn today leaving #WillieCauleyStein off of my “5-players to watch” list. He may prove to be the cream of the country’s frosh crop.
— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 16, 2013
I LOVE #WCS . The sky is the limit for Willie. He’s just now beginning to figure out how good he can be. He’s #KennySkyBowie to me.
— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 16, 2013
Perry Stevenson has been substitute teaching around town and, as you would expect, gets a fair share of questions about his time at UK:
Mr stevenson how tall are you? Who did u play for? Did u play KY bball? Are you taller than Davis? Where’s John wall? How big are your feet?
— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) January 15, 2013
Do you still like Pop Tarts?
As if athletes’ routine pictures of their shoes on Twitter weren’t enough, Doron Lamb now posts pics of his “Socks of the Day.” Here are just a few:

Eric Bledsoe‘s success in the NBA is even more heartwarming when you consider where he came from. Rex Chapman (and Coach Cal) nailed it:
I’ll never forget @ukcoachcalipari telling #EBledsoe, “Son, if I was holding the hand you’ve been dealt there’d be a smile on my face 24/7.”
— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 15, 2013
Patrick Patterson was reunited with a long lost love earlier this week:
Oh have I have missed thee.. #chipotle twitter.com/pdpatt/status/…
— Patrick Patterson (@pdpatt) January 14, 2013
Another question for you guys: what’s better, Qdoba or Chipotle?
John Wall’s dog Thunder recently graduated from “Off the Leash” K9 Training School. What do you think Wall got him as a graduation present?
Thanks RT @offleashk9train: Had a great night training with @john_wall and his dog Thunder!Going to miss him!! twitter.com/OffLeashK9Trai…
— John Wall (@John_Wall) January 12, 2013
You’re never too old to wish for a snow day. Right, Tod?
What are the chances classes get cancelled tomorrow? Im counting on at least one professor being lazy and calling it off
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) January 16, 2013
Seriously, is it football season yet? #Thingsmy2011selfdidnotseemeasking
There will be a new attitude on the field next year for our team.
— Josh Clemons (@J_Clem20) January 13, 2013
Ra’Shaad Samples sees you, eRupption Zone:
Kentucky visit..Crowd full of people holding up pictures of me chanting WE WANT RA-SHAAD crazy instagr.am/p/Ueaywco9rD/

Larry Vaught’s picture of a snowy Pigeon Forge is practically Papa Brooks-esque:
My view in pigeon forge. Snowing like crazy twitter.com/vaughtsviews/s…
— Vaughts’ Views (@vaughtsviews) January 17, 2013
Nope, Papa still does it better:
Sunrise in La Quinta ands day that will be in the mid 70′s. golf with Karenand the Porter’s today twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…
— Rich Brooks (@UKcoachbrooks) January 9, 2013
Bookie was pretty quiet this week (is he still on the team), so instead of deciphering his tweets, enjoy this picture of Erin Calipari under a waterfall:
Hiking. Found a waterfall! Wish I had a heart monitor. HR definitely near 90% max. twitter.com/TheErinCalipar…
— Erin Calipari (@TheErinCalipari) January 13, 2013
Erin, Rock Oliver would be proud. Until next time, RT plz?

Put me on team #HotBody
January 17th, 2013 at 10:10 pm
Tyler “Jungle Fever” Thompson, getting it done
January 17th, 2013 at 10:11 pm
Gotta agree with #1
January 17th, 2013 at 10:17 pm
I’d take the hot bod and we’d hit up the ‘doba!
January 17th, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Rex Chapman, here’s hoping your are right! –and how ’bout Doron with the sly-devil routine.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:19 pm
I aint got no grammar. Wish they be offering me an English class at uk yo.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:35 pm
Makes me appreciate Bledsoe even more. Tough kid.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Anyone else think Erin is kinda hot?
January 17th, 2013 at 10:54 pm
#8 Kinda? Megan is hotter though.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:54 pm
I don’t get this Tweet Beat thing?
January 17th, 2013 at 10:59 pm
Please, why would u take a shower in the woods in Eastern Kentucky, Erin …. Duh Lol!!! U all need to go to Peegs.com 4 the best team info.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:06 pm
Easy decision, I’d take a butterbody because she would have nice teeth. Imagine a pretty girl with a jacked face with jacked teeth throwing gang sings everywhere in her mouth. Nope not my style I’d take any light heavy weight.
January 18th, 2013 at 12:19 am
Qdoba
January 18th, 2013 at 12:34 am
Did they train John Walls pit bull to smile? Impressive!
January 18th, 2013 at 12:57 am
as always MTT, great job.
butterbody because you can always fix that. face is much tougher to fix.
qdoba by far. although, let’s not forget moe’s.
January 18th, 2013 at 1:36 am
Freebirds is much better than Qdoba or Chipotle.
January 18th, 2013 at 1:50 am
umm Anthony Davis is about 5 minutes older than these guys. give me a break.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:34 am
14. Pretty sure that’s an American Bulldog
January 18th, 2013 at 8:19 am
Team Hot body and Chipotle, hands down, much fresher meat….if they only had queso, the doba might get run outta town.
January 18th, 2013 at 8:22 am
Hot body and Chipotle. Easy choice for both.
January 18th, 2013 at 8:58 am
#18 Pretty sure you are wrong. That is a definitely a pit. Even though, American Bulldog, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Pit Bull Terriers are all closely related in breed
January 18th, 2013 at 9:14 am
18 – Definitely a Pitt; looks just like the one I have at home.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:52 am
Qdoba, hands down. Chipotle is …. blah.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:52 am
Body, I can go buy a girl some braces, get her hair did, and hire a makeup artist. But I can’t overcome that big butt gene.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:31 pm
Chipotle by a wide margin. One of the things I miss about living in Australia is Chipotle. Wouldn’t care if I ever saw a Qdoba again. The closest here is Guzman Y Gomez which is ok but not what I’d call good.
