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 Valentine’s Day! I’m so happy you decided to spend your romantic evening with us. Whether you love or loathe the holiday, it makes for some awesome tweets. Example A:
Pimp Daddy wants to say Happy Valentine’s day to all my sweeties. I just LOVE you all <3 twitter.com/Enes_Kanter/st…
— Enes Kanter (@Enes_Kanter) February 14, 2013
That picture is too small to do this justice. One more time:
Never change, Enes. Never, ever, ever change.
Still don’t have a Valentine? Patrick Towles is looking:
To all of the beautiful women who have made the gracious decision to follow me: if you are looking… I would LOVE to be your Valentine #214
— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) February 14, 2013
Jorts is such a ladies’ man:
Happy valentines day to everyone! Wish I could send all the lovely ladies that follow me flowers!!
— Josh Harrellson (@BigJorts55) February 14, 2013
Nothing says romance like a sexy selfie, right Patrick Graffree?
See, for me, this would totally be worth it:
I hear Fazoli’s is offering free pasta for a year to couples who get engaged today in store. Has anyone proposed yet?? #happyvalentinesday
— Randall Cobb (@rcobb18) February 14, 2013
Meet you there, Randall?
Morgan Newton‘s ready get his fancy grub on:
Valentines day is a good day to go to all the over priced restaurants you can’t justify spending money on any other night.
— Morgan Newton (@monewt12) February 14, 2013
LaRod King doesn’t think Valentine’s Day is for everyone:
Happy valentines day to the women who deserve it and happy Thursday to the others
— La’Rod King (@Kingof_UK) February 14, 2013
Awh! Valentine’s Day usually annoys me, but kids make it somewhat tolerable. Case in point: Rex Chapman and his daughter.
You’s MY Valentine, Sweetie! Miss you, love you waaaay big! RT @caleychapman @rexchapman, my valentine. ❤ #iloveyou twitter.com/CaleyChapman/s…
— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) February 14, 2013
Is #OneMoreForNerlens the new #WWMKGD?
Went on a four mile jog but went five instead. #OneMoreForNerlens

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and a Twany Beckham Oreo nightcap:
Teammate Alex Poythress appears to have picked up the habit as well:
I’ve gotta go with Tod Lanter, this is certifiably creepy:
Speaking of Mr. Lanter, tweets like this (and biceps like his) are why I love him:
Some of these girls walkin around campus look like they fell into a bag of doritos. I’ve heard its free tan week & all, but its still Feb…
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) February 8, 2013
Also, WTF is “Free Tan Week”??
#SaltyNorthernerAlert:
I love blizzards. I’m hearing up to 2 feet of snow back in Boston this weekend. Closest I’ll get to that in Lex is Dairy Queen
— Sam Malone (@SamMaloneuk13) February 6, 2013
Perry, I wholeheartedly agree:
Umm.. Im never going on a Carnival cruise. Anyone else see that stranded ship??
— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) February 14, 2013
If there is a hell worse than being stuck in a confined space that smells so much like crap that people are resorting to pooping in bags, then I don’t want to know.
The perks of being tall?
Why did the flight attendant just give me one of those little bottles of Jack Daniels just for being tall
— Erik Daniels (@danielserik) February 12, 2013
The beautiful Keyla Snowden gussied up for the red carpet this week to attend the Grammys:
Fake Barney and former Cat Bernard Cote engaged in a little francophile fun last week:
@fakebarneyksr @kysportsradio Ça me fait plaisir! J’ai toujours aimé les dinosaures…
— Bernard Cote (@bernardcote) February 6, 2013
Winston Guy took the opportunity to meet new football coach Mark Stoops this week and gives his blessing:
Meet the new head coach @ukcoachstoops today. Good man and it was a pleasure to meet him. I see Kentucky doing big things this season #BBN
— Winston Guy Jr. (@WinstonGuyJr27) February 13, 2013
Challenge extended:
Sell out Commonwealth Stadium for the spring game in April…..do it for the players!
— Patrick Graffree(@PatGraffree52) February 10, 2013
Come on students, can’t Josh Clemons get a little recognition??
No matter where we go @maxwe11ukis the only one that plays football. I’m just the random big black guy sitting next to him. Ha
— Josh Clemons (@J_Clem20) February 10, 2013
Great wording by the Great Larry Warford:
Why is my hearing superb right before I go to sleep?? If an ant farted last night I would’ve heard it…
— Larry Warford (@wardaddy_67) February 8, 2013
Nice coffee mug:
Filed under “awesome”: Rich Brooks’ UK jacket.
Grady and I at the top of the tram yesterday. Great views but a little chilly up there. twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…
— Rich Brooks (@UKcoachbrooks) February 6, 2013
Who up
I’m still up
— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) February 14, 2013
Of course.
Doron had a bit of a Twitter fail over the weekend, accidentally retweeting something he probably shouldn’t have. Thank you to @WZH_07 for taking the screenshot of it while I was out of town. And yes, it has been edited.
TWEET OF THE WEEK: This has to go to Nerlens Noel, who tore his ACL against Florida on Tuesday. Despite the cloud of gloom that settled over the Bluegrass, Nerlens showed us once again how amazing he is with this optimistic message to his fans:
Minor setback for a MAJOR comeback!I love you all and can’t thank y’all enough for the prayers.
— Nerlens Noel (@NerlensNoel3) February 13, 2013
Love you big guy. Until next time, RT plz?

I think the Fazoli’s promotion is awesome!
February 14th, 2013 at 9:43 pm
Especially on Valentine’s, many a mens got Enes penvy.
February 14th, 2013 at 9:57 pm
UK fans like to make fun of UL fans. With pictures like that, I’m not sure making fun of linebeards is a sensible decision.
February 14th, 2013 at 10:08 pm
Ahhh, TweetBeat. A bit of sunshine in a bleak week. Thanks, Mrs. TT.
February 14th, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Way to delete that last comment lol….anything that you don’t agree with simply must be wrong. Classic “media”, if you can consider yourselves that.
February 14th, 2013 at 10:52 pm
My God… I had nothing to do tonight so I decided to put on the Louisville game. Big mistake… Big East basketball is so hard to watch.
February 15th, 2013 at 12:31 am
I have to agree about those statues in the entrance to Gatton, they scare the crap out of me everytime.
February 15th, 2013 at 8:04 am
If Enes really does have all those ladies he’s gonna be broke before he’s 30.
February 15th, 2013 at 8:11 am
Forget Fazoli’s! You have to go to Cheddar’s on Valentine’s day!
February 15th, 2013 at 9:39 am
Love Tweet Beat! It makes my Friday.
The “Free tan week” was some promotion going on this week at some salon in Lex.
I have forwarded Enes’s valentine to my sister in D.C. because it is so outrageous. (Had to explain who he is, though.)
February 15th, 2013 at 9:41 am
Papa Brooks jacket is baller. When I grow up I wanna live that large.
February 15th, 2013 at 9:44 am
Real weird, Sounds like you need a young man Ms. Thompson, you a cougar!
February 15th, 2013 at 11:09 am
Anyone know how much $$ Enes is making at Utah? Because I’m pretty sure he could rise to the top of the heap in WWE pretty quickly and be a super-star! He’s hilarious.
