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.

Happy Throwback Thursday, otherwise known to Marshall Henderson as the day after #whitegirlwednesday! MVTweeter of the team, Twany Beckham, posted several “TBT” gems while recovering from back surgery earlier this week, including this picture of him and Shaq:

Twany! You’re smiling in a picture! I didn’t think it was possible. He also put up this one (of him putting on deodorant?) from “prep school”:

And, of course, because it’s Twany, one for the ladies:

Kyle Wiltjer also got in on the fun, posting a shot of him, Jarrod Polson, Anthony Davis and others putting up three goggles and this adorable childhood picture that earns him this week’s “Tweet That Makes You Go Aww”:

Look how tiny his hands are!

Why am I not surprised Jon Hood watches “Finding Bigfoot”?

Do u like watchin this “finding bigfoot” cuz its ignorantly entertaining or cuz u actually believe it? @hoodyhood4 (p.s. I kno the answer)

— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) January 29, 2013

Also Tod, it’s totally the latter. Don’t you know Bigfoot was spotted wandering in the woods by Kentucky Lake three years ago?

I wrote a lengthy piece last night on how beautiful Oxford was. Brian Long agrees, at least when it comes to the hotel rooms:

Best hotel rooms goes to Ole Miss

— Brian Long (@BrianLong32) January 29, 2013

I’m guessing they had BET.

Brian, you’re from up north. Shouldn’t you be used to the snow or has the South made you soft?

It should be illegal to have to walk to class with snow on the ground

— Brian Long (@BrianLong32) January 25, 2013

Can someone tell me what the hell Ramel “Smooth” Bradley is hooked up to?

Is that a massaging machine? If so, where do I get one?

Rex Chapman was not impressed with Marshall Henderson:

I wouldn’t b hurting Ole Miss’ Henderson like this if he wasn’t 22 & didn’t act good. But I prefer getting excited abt players who can play.

— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 30, 2013

It’s tough 4 me to get excited abt guys who can only shoot & nothing else.Sorry, but I cannot get excited abt a guy who only can’t shoot.

— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 30, 2013

Walter McCarty and Nazr Mohammad toasted to the Cats’ win over Ole Miss on Twitter with two very different but similar looking drinks:

Other former Cats put in their two cents on the victory:

Very impressive win boys. Ole miss showed no discipline down the stretch. Cats took advantage. Road warriors!

— Bobby Perry (@BobbyPerry13) January 30, 2013

Man, I’m happy for those UK players tonight. NOTHING like being on the road w a whole building against you & walkingoff the floor w a win.

— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) January 30, 2013

Big win by the CATS!!!

— Tony Delk (@tldelk00) January 30, 2013

Marshall Henderson was eerily reminiscent of Zach Marbury tonight.

— Bret Bearup (@BretBearup) January 30, 2013

And then here comes Doron “Who Up” Lamb to remind us what was.

Sigh.

Prairie Dog Stevenson already won Twitter with his tweet about Billy Gillispie attending the Texas A&M/UK game on Saturday, but this picture of autographs from the kids he teaches is also pretty great:

How sweet are these guys.. I signed autographs for them and they gave me theirs also.twitpic.com/bzah24

— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) January 29, 2013

You know it’s “golf time” when Ron Mercer posts a selfie in his UK golf outfit!

Golf time twitter.com/rmercer33/stat…

— Ron Mercer (@rmercer33) January 29, 2013

Watch out Drew Franklin, Anthony Davis is moving in on your girl:

S/O to one of the up and coming tennis stars @sloanetweets go follow her! twitpic.com/bz5yml

— Anthony Davis (@AntDavis23) January 29, 2013

Jacob Tamme added a nice piece of art to his collection this week:

Framing some of my most prized artwork. #BBN #WeAreUK #2007 twitter.com/JacobTamme/sta…

— Jacob Tamme (@JacobTamme) January 31, 2013

I’ve spent way too long trying to figure out if this is actually Winston Guy dancing or someone famous. I’m sure those of you younger and hipper than me will let me know. Regardless, Winston typing out the lyrics to “Bootylicious” makes me laugh.

What say you, KSR readers?

Well, let’s settle this argument Kentucky, who has a better twitter game, me or @patty_ice14?!

— Landon Foster ✝ (@BigBlueKick12) January 30, 2013

To help, here is what I consider Landon‘s best tweet of the week:

It’d be a lot easier to “eat fresh” at subway if the line at the student center wasn’t 28 people long

— Landon Foster ✝ (@BigBlueKick12) January 29, 2013

And Patrick‘s:

Imagine the ASPCA commercials if it actually rained cats and dogs… Sarah Mclachlan would be singing for days…

— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) January 30, 2013

I’ve gotta go with Landon. Sorry, Patrick. Use it for fuel for next week.

New look, finally looking human again twitter.com/TaylorWyndham/…

— Taylor Wyndham (@TaylorWyndham) January 30, 2013

Bah! Who is that and what has he done with our bearded warrior Taylor Wyndham?!

Weep not for the memories…

It’s been a rainy snowy week in Lex, which means…leggings and rain boots, right Landon?

It’s a cold, rainy day…I know what 99% of girls are wearing. Leggings and rain boots. 😍

— Landon Foster ✝ (@BigBlueKick12) January 28, 2013

Patrick Graffree debuted a new haircut this week. First the Brow, then the Flat Top, now the Juice?

JUICE! twitter.com/PatGraffree52/…

— Patrick Graffree(@PatGraffree52) January 28, 2013

You know how I know Jacob Tamme is a true UK fan? This:

@rcobb18 nice! Great privilege eh? I watched in awe as a kid when people did the Y. Woulda said u were CRAZY if u told me I’d do it one day

— Jacob Tamme (@JacobTamme) January 27, 2013

What do you do when you’re retired and live in California? Apparently you start going to polo matches if you’re Rich Brooks:

Watched our first Polo match on a nice sunny day. Interesting and some good looking horses. twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

— Rich Brooks (@UKcoachbrooks) January 27, 2013

Beware of the steaming divot, Papa!

Oh Boyd, I hope your granny isn’t on Twitter:

why my granny look like Don King?

— Aaron Boyd (@Oh_Boyd) January 31, 2013

Josh Teater had a huge week, coming in second in the Farmers Insurance Open, but it’s nice to know that people keep him in perspective:

Thanks RT @markvoils: @jteater12 Congrats on making the big stage… kentuckysportsradio.com…and the golf thing too.

— Josh Teater (@jteater12) January 29, 2013

Doron Lamb has become the go-to person on Twitter for advice on life, love, and how to take pictures of your friends passed out without them knowing. Now, he is adding “nutritionist” to that list:

Drink this before you go to bed twitter.com/DLamb20/status…

— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) January 25, 2013

Or this twitter.com/DLamb20/status…

— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) January 25, 2013

Vitamin C is very important.

Finally, I’m kind of over Bookie, aren’t you? Instead, we’re going to finish each week up with the “Tweet of the Week.” The inaugural honor goes to Patrick Patterson, who posted this picture of his favorite way to relax:

Don’t judge me.. #relax #pickles #chill twitter.com/pdpatt/status/…

— Patrick Patterson (@pdpatt) January 26, 2013

Pickles, Patrick? Really? If you start wearing animal prints, I’m going to have to nickname you Snooki.

Until next time, RT plz?
