Tweet Beat: #Polsanity


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.
Sure, it’s been almost a week since Jarrod Polson‘s big night in the Big Apple, but the tweets about it never get old:
Nobody sleeping on JP anymore!! I was off my feet in the background.. twitter.com/BrianLong32/st…
— Brian Long (@BrianLong32) November 10, 2012
Justin Beiber kinda looks like @jpolson05
— Sam Malone (@SamMaloneuk13) November 10, 2012
So happy for @jpolson05. Always plays hard, tonight it showed #iceintheveins
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) November 10, 2012
Thanks everyone for the support, so happy for my guy @jpolson05 played like a beast tonight.
— Kyle Wiltjer (@kwiltj) November 10, 2012
I see my boy @jpolson05 geekin
— Eloy Vargas (@E_Vargas30) November 10, 2012
Who saw Polson out of the shadows this game?? I didn’t. But man am I glad!!! Clutch!!!
— Mark Krebs Jr.(@MarkKrebs12) November 10, 2012
Good job cats and congrats to my boy @jpolson05 hope he keeps it up and is better than I was! Keep working hard young fella
— Josh Harrellson (@BigJorts55) November 10, 2012
“@marquisteague25: Shout out 2 @jpolson05 did his thing tonight I see u..”yessirr!!!

While the Cats may have lost to Duke, Anthony Davis and Darius Miller know what’s really important, and Austin Rivers doesn’t have it:
@uknum1 like someone on our team lol
— Anthony Davis (@AntDavis23) November 14, 2012
Davis was clear to point out that he was “just playin.” Surrre.
I’m glad to see that Alex Poythress and I share little superstitions like good luck pennies:
Just found a heads up penny, maybe today is my lucky day.
— Alex Poythress (@AlexTheGreat22) November 14, 2012
I wonder if he also knocks on wood, crosses his fingers, and makes wishes at 11:11 every day.
Reason #12,078,006 that life as a UK player is not bad:
It never ceases to amaze me how far aviation has come that i can be laying in bed in Lex 2hrs after walking off the floor of the GA Dome
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) November 14, 2012
It’s not every day that you see a UK basketball player reference “The Langoliers,” a miniseries based off a Stephen King novel.
Bluegrass Airport feels like a scene out of The Langoliers at 2:30am
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) November 10, 2012
I’m sure he’s referring to the part of the movie in which the passengers arrive at the airport to find it completely deserted, but this scene is much more fun to watch:
Can we call the monsters Thamel and Emmert?
Julius Mays’ eye injury confirms that I am squeamish and could never be a doctor:
Took a nice one twitter.com/JMays34/status…
— Julius Mays (@JMays34) November 10, 2012
Just in case you didn’t hear just how awesome the Barclays Center was, Sam Malone is here to remind you:
Whole team bus currently being lowered underground into the building by a freight elevator
— Sam Malone (@SamMaloneuk13) November 10, 2012
AND, the elevators SPIN so the bus doesn’t have to turn around. Almost a week later, I still haven’t gotten over how cool that is.
If you see Prairie Dog at the movie theater in Portugal this weekend, be sure to give him some grief:
Can I be excited for the twilight movie and not be judged? No? Okay cool, cuz i wasn’t excited about it anyway.
— Perry Stevenson (@PSteve2122) November 14, 2012
This picture of Ramel Bradley giving kids basketball tips makes me happy:
RT @nhoopsforkids: @dreamsmooth giving shooting lessons for kids from Barak Moadonite. twitter.com/Nhoopsforkids/…

Jorts is a wee bit homesick–err, huntingsick:
Man I miss deer hunting so bad!!! I miss the woods and my 4 wheelers! I need to get out in the woods an get down and dirty
— Josh Harrellson (@BigJorts55) November 12, 2012
[Cue up Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Cause I’m Country Strong”]
I’m only 28, but I can to relate to this (at liquor stores and bars):
Just got carded buying the new call of duty. Made me feel young again.
— Corey M. Peters (@CoreyPeters91) November 15, 2012
Randall Cobb and DeMarcus Cousins were also impressed by Eric Bledsoe’s monster block last night:
Ok @ebled24 I see u sir!!
— Randall Cobb (@rcobb18) November 15, 2012
My bro @ebled24 still got it haha 👋
— demarcus cousins(@boogiecousins) November 15, 2012
That is a ton of light switches. Any guesses as to what kind of room it is?
I didn’t even know this was possible twitter.com/Matt_Smith69/s…

Taylor Wyndham‘s twitpic is almost Rich Brooks-esque in terms of beautiful nature shots:
Today was a good day twitter.com/TaylorWyndham/…
— Taylor Wyndham (@TaylorWyndham) November 10, 2012
Speaking of Brooks, check out Papa’s new house in California:

Ready to come be the pool girl anytime, coach. But, I will not clean any fish:
Caught some nice bass in the ponds behind my house. Fighters. twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

#ThingsIDidNotExpectLarryWarfordsDadtoSay:
At the eku murray state game with my dad, a girl walks by, Quote from my dad “ooh she’s sexy, I like her butt and I like her shoes”…what??
— Larry warford (@wardaddy_67) November 10, 2012
Patrick Towles is wearing his stretchy pants to Thanksgiving and doesn’t care what you think:
What’s the problem with eating 3 plates at Thanksgiving??? there is none
— Patrick Towles (@patty_ice14) November 15, 2012
Not even Chuck Hayes and his kid can beat out Erik Daniels and his basketball team for “Tweets That Make You Go Aww”:
Tim Couch’s kids do the Heisman pose weren’t far behind:
— Tim Couch (@timcouchtv) November 15, 2012
Finally, if you’ve ever wondered what Oh Boyd does on cold days, here you go:
this is a movie, fireplace, cinnamon roll, hot apple cider, gf kind of day.
— Aaron Boyd (@Oh_Boyd) November 12, 2012
Before you think he’s getting all soft…
mama told me never leave this world until I bust a nut.
— Aaron Boyd (@Oh_Boyd) November 9, 2012
Oh, Boyd.
Until next time, RT plz?

Sound like b-long is appreciating it!
Congrats again TT.
How is Aaron Boyd still allowed on Twitter? And who is Aaron Boyd anyway? Like, I thought I remembered earlier this season, but now I have forgotten again.
Am I the only one that thinks there is absolutely zero resemblance between Polson and Beiber?? I mean none at all.
Only one sleeping on JP was Cal. Should have started against Duke with main PG out. Mistake.
The last tweet by Boyd literally made me lol.
Words to live by !!!
I’m pretty sure the light switches are in White Hall Classroom building.
This is why we love you, MrsT!
Bring in Erik Daniels as the next Asst. Coach, ala Delk and Padgett. From that picture, he obviously has coaching experience! I kid…but I wouldn’t hate it. He could work with Nerlens and Willie’s interior passing. Remember he and Chuck down low? Their passing was a thing of beauty…
