Tweet Beat: Nerlens wakes up in a new Bugatti
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.
With the money he’s about to make, Nerlens Noel probably could wake up in a new Bugatti soon:
Jon Hood sees Tod Lanter and Papa Brooks’ fish and raises them 30 lbs.:
Andrew and Aaron Harrison made things a little easier for their fellow students out by dressing in different colors for Prom:
For the record, Andrew’s the one on the right with the longer hair. If they kept the different hair styles at UK, that would really help me out.
+1 for the Willie is a hipster argument:
Abstract art is the coolest art ever

Maybe Willie would like school more if he took art history classes?
Just in case you were wondering, DeMarcus Cousins has a UK basketball court in his backyard:
McDonald’s advertising is clearly working on Tod Lanter:
In fact, he’s pretty much an addict now.
It took 3 different locations, but we finally found an open McDonald’s with spicy McChicken’s still in stock #cravings @c_vain

I’m going to post this Vine, but I bet none of you all will read what I’m typing once it starts playing:
You got some drool…right there. Yep, got it.
Chuck Hayes starts a fun debate:

— chuck hayes (@c_hayes44) May 14, 2013
I love that he includes one of my favorites:
Also I’m gonna have to put “a league of their own” in the honorable mention
— chuck hayes (@c_hayes44) May 14, 2013
I’ll bite. Here are my Top 5 favorite sports movies:
Rocky IV (Like Chuck, I dig the Russian plot)
Major League
A League of Their Own
Rudy
Happy Gilmore
Honorable mention: Bend It Like Beckham
I trust you’ll blast me for my choices and leave your own in the comments section.
This exchange made me smile:
@rexchapman You wish you were insane with a cane on a plane and an aircraft carrier.

After he pushed LeBron James to the ground and got ejected on Friday night, Nazr Mohammad took to Twitter to apologize:
Sorry for my overreaction & being ejected. I blacked out & just reacted after I was pushed down. I’m happy it only resulted w/ a push
— Nazr Mohammed (@NazrMohammed) May 11, 2013
For the kids who were watching… That not the way to react on the basketball court.
— Nazr Mohammed (@NazrMohammed) May 11, 2013
Hopefully if I’m in the same situation again I will control my emotions but u never know what ur instincts will do. #SeeRed
— Nazr Mohammed (@NazrMohammed) May 11, 2013
And here I thought I was a big Randall Cobb fan:
Just wrapped up Beloit! S/o to the woman that had me sign her shoulder to get it tattooed #soIKnowItsRealhaha #PackersTailgateTour
— Randall Cobb (@rcobb18) May 16, 2013
Patrick Towles sums up Andrew Wiggins’ decision quite nicely:
Wiggins picks the Cavs over the Heat…

This may be the only time I’ve ever heard anyone praise a squirrel:
Today I ran another leafy, rural road. A squirrel was above me for a piece; she was far more crafty & nimble than! What clever creatures.

This week’s “Tweet that Makes You Go Aww” goes to Goose Givens, who made his mother a pecan pie cake from scratch for Mother’s Day:
Me and the Mother’s Day cake I made! Pecan pie cake made from scratch! twitter.com/goosegivens/st…
— Jack Givens (@goosegivens) May 12, 2013
I didn’t know such a thing existed. It looks delicious.
Papa Brooks may be all the way in Oregon, but he’s still got plenty of Wild Turkey to keep him busy:
How lucky can one gal get. Here are 3 Tom turkeys courting one female on the road up to our house. twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

TWEET OF THE WEEK: Willie Cauley-Stein
Willie posted this picture of him skateboarding on Instagram earlier this week, but the comments it got were what made laugh. Check them out:
Orlando Antigua: You better be careful on that skateboard brother !
WCS: I will lol nothing crazy just cruising
Alex Poythress: Lol teach me
Kyle Wiltjer: you already know Alex would fall
Orlando Antigua: I going to need all of you @alexthegreat22 @kwiltj @squishywcs15 to not get any crazy ideas and quit playing with my emotions … Lol wish moms a happy Mother’s Day from me
I’m with Coach O, boys. Be careful…we’ve got a championship to win.
Until next time, RT plz?

I think the Harrisons could have found better looking dates.
Pretty cool Cuz. At first I thought it was Boise State. Then I saw the UK in the corner.
I agree JP. Or maybe with longer hair….
Goose has a really nice yard…
Goose Givens taught the Dos Equis Man how to be interesting.
I love that picture Papa Brooks! Gobble Gobble!
twins are stone cold killers,number9 coming soon people.
But one and done players don’t give a damn about UK!
Those fish would have rather been back in the ocean.
Aaron Harrison named Texas Mr. Basketball today!! Congrats Aaron!!
I think I would label Willie as ‘Bohemian’ before I would call him a hipster. Just my opinion. The word hipster has sort of gotten muddy in the last couple years.
Top 5 sports movies in no particular order:
Hoosiers (I don’t care that it’s Indiana – it’s one of the best basketball movies ever)
Friday Night Lights
He Got Game
Above the Rim
Rudy
As always, the Goose is Golden. I followed him and James Lee throughout high school and college, those Bryan Station vs Henry Clay games were epic.
My Mother made pecan pie from scratch, but I’ve never heard of pecan pie cake. Is that a family recipe? Looks tasty.
Seems some fans have forgotten James Lee. He was the quiet guy, 6th man on the ’78 championship team, but when he came off the bench opponents ran and hid. He closed out the ’78 game against Duke the way I hope this years Stone Cold Killers finish their business. Watch, on youtube from WildcatWorld.com, this is safe for work, unless you watching in Durham, NC.

Cuz is the best. He will always be a Wildcat!

Could there be any more irony in Towles tweet? The kid is playing football at kentucky.
remember the titans
sandlot
happy gilmore

This might be the last year WCS will be able to ride a skateboard, when he gets to the NBA he will most likely be contractually banned from skateboarding.
Tin Cup and The Program are my additions to potential lists.
CADDY SHACK!!!!!
Karate Kid
Hoosiers
Tin Cup
Miracle
Caddyshack
Bull Durham
Remember the Titans
Such an idiot, my fifth would be Rocky.
I dunno #1, I think the Harrisons did okay with their dates. I mean, don’t judge man.
I agree with #15, gotta go with Remember the Titans followed by Friday Night Lights (the tv show was even better), and Rudy.
Congratulations to Aaron Harrison. Can’t wait till October!
CATS 2014
Where is The Bad News Bears? Greatest moving ending ever.
I’m a little shocked no one mentioned The Program. One of the best football movies ever made.
The Program
Field of Dreams
Rudy
The Longest Yard (original)
Hoosiers
Honorable mention: Iron Will
Ashley a bit out there having to tweet that from her rural road run.
So can we start a no-Wiggins site going forward? It’s bad enough I can’t get that song out of my head!
So you’re telling me that these one and done’s really care about the program?
Pride of the Yankees, remember the titans, the natural, rocky & miracle
Top 5 (no order):
Bad News Bears (1976)
Seabiscuit (2003)
