Tweet Beat: CATSPYs Fashion Police

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.

The CATSPYs were Monday night, which means it’s time for CATSPYs Fashion Police! Let’s get down to it:

Willie Cauley-Stein: At least one of my CATSPYs predictions was correct–Willie wore a bow tie. And a plaid shirt. AND SUSPENDERS. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a full-blown hipster on our hands. I applaud Willie’s effort, but the plaid is a little too much with me, and the suspenders hanging down just look sloppy. Final grade: B

Alex Poythress: Meanwhile, Alex also wore a bow tie, but kept it simple with a white or blue shirt (hard to tell with picture filters), black pants, and the ever present black frame glasses. He looks very sharp, as does his sister, who accompanied him. The best part? He’s smiling. Final grade: A

Jon Hood: It’s hard to tell with the Instagram filter/flash, but Hood appears to be wearing a dark gray/black suit with a metallic blue tie. A nice choice, but it would be even better had he shaved. Remember, Jon: #lakebeardisweird. His date looks lovely, and is totally sporting the appropriate color for the event. Final grade: B+

Twany Beckham: Twany saw that I predicted him to be the best dressed, and he almost proved me right. Twany’s outfit’s strength is in its tailoring, which is almost perfect. It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but his pants are either light blue or seersucker, the latter of which would send me into a tizzy of delight. The tie is just right, as is the fact that he took his mother as his date. A true ladies man, that one. Final grade: A

What, you thought the coaches were safe from this? Ha.

Mark Stoops: Coach Stoops looks great for his first CATSPYs, with a grey pinstripe suit and blue check tie. It’s hard to judge tailoring from here, but well done, Coach. Final grade: A

John Calipari: It is so good to see Cal in a suit again. So good I’ll even let the questionable tie pass. It’s fine, but I’d prefer so see something blue to mark the occasion. Final grade: A-

BEST DRESSED: The Wildcat

As usual, the Cat nails it. Aside from John Travolta in his prime, he’s the only one that can get away with wearing an all-white suit. The UK blue vest and tie are very festive and compliment his eyes. Well done, sire. Final grade: A+

Honorable mention: Jalen Whitlow

Digging the blue and white bow tie.

As we told you earlier, Nerlens Noel has been touring area schools over the last week to talk about the importance of hard work. One scrappy student made a bet with Nerlens and lost. The wager? Ten pushups.

Archie Goodwin had a bit of a Twitter whoopsies yesterday when he tweeted “It’s a marathon not a run.” With KSR-comment-section-esque speed, people rushed to point out the correct use of the saying:

It’s a Marathon not a SPRINT

— Archie Goodwin (@A1Laflare10) April 24, 2013

I fixed the tweet sheesh. Lol let me live!!

— Archie Goodwin (@A1Laflare10) April 24, 2013

Did Archie eat he own feet there?

Want proof that Twany Beckham has always been cooler than you?

Who knew being cool was as easy as taking a shirtless pic with some bling and aviators?

Maybe Twany should take a break from being cool and clean up his room:

He has more shoes than Carrie Bradshaw.

Tod Lanter really likes tortilla soup:

“La familia” example #4,021: Anthony Davis pulling up next to Twany Beckham and asking to go get night caps:

My brother pulled up on me and last night and holla let’s go grab night caps #icecream lol @antdavis23

— Twany Beckham (@TB_UK11) April 23, 2013

Have all the toppings you want, Twany. I’m sure Anthony’s buying.

Hey Tequan Hopkins! Sam Malone does not appreciate your shout out. Also, he probably doesn’t appreciate being called “lil dude.”

“@yungnhumble_13: Shoutout my lil dude @sammaloneuk13” chill bruh don’t shout me out we’re not cool like that

— Sam Malone (@SamMaloneuk13) April 23, 2013

Does this picture mean that Nerlens has signed an agent?

Even so, I loved this picture Twany Beckham posted of him at Hillbilly Days last weekend with the Terrence Jones’ famous mechanical bull in the background:

I’m glad that Walter McCarty and I have at least one thing in common:

Forgive me if I don’t tweet back, but I’m too busy watching my favorite show @duckdynastyae

— Walter McCarty (@waltermccarty) April 25, 2013

I’m not even sure why I really like it, but somehow, it becomes really hard to change the channel when it’s on. I blame Si and Phil.

I’ll be honest: I don’t really care about the NBA Playoffs until June, and even then, it’s a stretch. But, I do love that Nazr Mohammad is still contributing after all of these years.

Getting ready to be on @sportstalkchi2nite at 5:30p on #ComcastSportNet twitter.com/NazrMohammed/s…

— Nazr Mohammed (@NazrMohammed) April 24, 2013

He and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are my favorite UK players ever. Nazr, I still have the ball and Sports Illustrated cover you autographed for me at the Kentucky Korner all those years ago.

Yes, PPatt, yes they do:

Congrats to Andre Woodson on the birth of his son, Andre Chandler Woodson III, earlier today:

Odds Andre gets his kid hooked on SmartFood popcorn as soon as he’s able to eat solids?

You know what’s American? Randall Cobb wearing a star spangled hoodie while spinning in a circle:

MERICKA!!!!! vine.co/v/bPwA2U0unlz

Can someone tell me how an Oreo Blizzard in a waffle cone is any different than cookies and cream ice cream in a waffle cone?

Whattttt!?!?!? twitter.com/Matt_Smith69/s…

“Tweet That Makes You Go Aww” has to go to Brad Calipari, who posted this adorable picture of him and his dad on Instagram this week:

This week’s “Papa Brooks Retirement Pic of the Week” tells us that Karen has been doing an excellent job on her gardening this spring.

Karen loves her flowers. They are in bloom here in the Oregon spring. @ twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

TWEET(S) OF THE WEEK: Willie Cauley-Stein

Willie Cauley-Stein had two epic tweets this week:

Rock me momma like a wagon wheel, rock me momma any way you feel! This a wonderful song

— ☆TheFr3shPrinc3☆ (@TrillWill15) April 24, 2013

Now, to which version of “Wagon Wheel” do we think Willie is referring?

A) Bob Dylan’s original

B) Old Crow Medicine Show’s popular 2004 version

C) Darius Rucker’s recent cover

I’m going with C, although Willie’s hipster tendencies make me want to pick the others. Rucker’s version is everywhere right now, and I can see Willie hearing it in the car, turning to his buddies and saying “Man, that’s a wonderful song. I can really feel the lyrics.”

Not only does Willie feel beautiful music, but he requires the perfect lighting for his videos:

Pulling a all nighter to catch the perfect lighting outside for my art video #teamnosleep #dedicatedstudent

— ☆TheFr3shPrinc3☆ (@TrillWill15) April 24, 2013

How long before Willie’s video shows up in the independent section of Netflix Instant?

Until next time, RT plz?
