Tweet Beat: Yahtzee is the best game ever
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.
First things first, let’s get some Stanley BOOM Williams tweets out of the way:
Mainord Yahtzee’d!
Here we go #BBN!!!#YAHTZEE!!!!!!!!Kentucky style baby!!!! twitter.com/CoachMainordUK…
— Tommy Mainord (@CoachMainordUK) June 13, 2013
Stoops Yahtzee’d!
Yahtzee !!!BBN. Can I get a Yahtzee
— Mark Stoops (@UKCoachStoops) June 13, 2013
Cal Yahtzee’d!
Wow, Yahtzee! @ukcoachstoops & @ukfootball are on fire! #WeAreUK
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) June 13, 2013
Even Mitch Barnhart yahtzee’d!
Yahtzee! #WeAreUK
— Mitch Barnhart (@UKMitchBarnhart) June 13, 2013
Chad Scott did this weird thing where he did the Cat Daddy while marking territory:
Cattttt Dadddyyyyy!!!! #BBN #MarkingTerritory #WeAreUK
— Chad Scott (@CoachChadScott) June 13, 2013
As Mitch would say, it was a really, really nice day for Kentucky football.
On the other side of the world, Kyle Wiltjer posted a picture of the locker room the Canadian developmental team’s using in China. Let’s just say it was a far cry from Rupp Arena. This afternoon, he was still so amused by it he made a video:
The locker room in today’s arena… vine.co/v/blT5zO9z20P

Derek Willis seems to be acclimating to UK life well. His Twitter cover photo is Stone Cold Willow:
After months of boring tweets, Doron Lamb is BACK!
Guys rule #1 never let a woman into your bathroom with her camera phone thanks
— Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) June 10, 2013
What do you think this woman found in Doron’s bathroom?
Patrick Patterson may be a beast on the court, but he’s still scared of bugs:

Julius Randle has met a lot of famous people: Beyonce, Jay-Z, Drake, etc., but the most random may be Johnny F’ing Football, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel:
Papa Brooks was back in Lexington this week and struck a pose with a very flat Matthew Mitchell:
Coach Mitchell’s was not in but did get up close and personal with him in the office. twitter.com/UKcoachbrooks/…

Watch Tod Lanter flex dem bones on some elementary school campers:
Gotcha Dom! (kinda) #bballcampshinanigans vine.co/v/bl61PgA1J22
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) June 12, 2013
I bet even Ryan Harrow would dunk on that goal.
Today was a big day for Brian Long…he ate Arby’s for the first time:
How can you go 21 years and not go to an Arby’s @brianlong32???
— Jon Hood (@hoodyhood4) June 13, 2013
As Hood later put it, they did their GTA: Gym, Tan, Arby’s. Enjoy the curly fries, Brian.
Archie Goodwin continues to be one of the best Viners out there:
😰😰 vine.co/v/bLVAmP6vxd6
— Archie Goodwin (@A1Laflare10) June 10, 2013
I’m trying to wean myself off hoodies since I’m in my late 20’s, but this hoodie/travel pillow that Marcus Lee posted is pretty darn impressive:
Damn, I knew I should have been more discreet…
Are u really parked out front of the Y tweezing your nose hairs ma’am?
— Tod Lanter (@tod_lanterIII) June 8, 2013
Want to feel old? Antoine Walker has a daughter that just graduated from high school:
Graduation day !!!!!!! twitter.com/WalkerAntoine8…
— Antoine Walker (@WalkerAntoine8) June 11, 2013
Rex: Never.
Since when is it “embarrassing” 4 a middle-aged Dad to pick-up his daughters from cheer-practice w his fingers in the sky, bangin’ his game?
— Rex Chapman (@rexchapman) June 11, 2013
Erin Calipari just “gets it.”
ESPN, how about instead of “Kentucky hires NCAA enforcement official” we do something like “UNC professor takes bribes from athletic dept.”?
— Erin Calipari (@TheErinCalipari) June 12, 2013
This week’s “Tweet That Makes You Go Aww” is a no-brainer: Drew Barker back in the day.
Finally, a flaw in Randall Cobb: he’s addicted to candy.
“@tbozz1174: @rcobb18 Whats your favorite candy??” –Frooties, I think I have an addiction??? twitter.com/rcobb18/status…
— Randall Cobb (@rcobb18) June 11, 2013
TWEET OF THE WEEK: Ramel Bradley

— Ramel Smooth Bradley (@dreamsmooth) June 13, 2013
I’m beginning to think that Smooth can find pretty ladies anywhere.
Until next time, RT plz?
31 Comments for Tweet Beat: Yahtzee is the best game ever
Am I the only one that hates the Yahtzee thing?
What’s the origin of the Yahtzee thing? I like it, but don’t get it.
I don’t understand the yahtzee thing…what does it even mean? I haven’t had much internet access this summer…help!
@1 yes, yes you are
@2 and 3. Have you ever played the dice game Yahtzee? You roll the dice and if you get all the same you’re a winner?
Yes.
@5 I have played Yahtzee but I guess I fail to see the connection lol. But, ty for replying!
Yes, the Yahtzee thing is G.A.Y.
Ppat and Archie’s vine videos made me laugh out loud. Tod’s my cousin and I still wasn’t entertained.
@7 All they are saying is we are “rolling” and “winning”
Haha love you cuz
@1…I don’t like the Yahtzee thing either. If Louisville was using it we would all be making fun, but as long as it brings in the recruits………YAHTZEE!!!!!!!
What does it mean if they tweet “Large Straight” or ” Full House?”
So are we the only school doing the Yahtzee thing? If so I like it.
Ms Erin C…. I hear ya.
Yes, please someone give a full explanation on Yahtzee and all various related posts – full house et cetera. I’m feeling very old and out of the loop.
The staff’s code word for a commitment is “Yahtzee”
I also use that as code for I gained another 10 pounds.
What kind of bug is that in PPat’s vid? Silverfish? I used to have those in my apt. in Merrick Place. They are super gross.
When one gets a six of a kind in the dice game Yahtzee, it is customary to yell out Yahtzee! People sometimes use this in other walks of life when something good happens. It is similar to yelling Bingo.
Who started the Yahtzee thing? Stoops? The fans? Another school?
The yahtzee thing is so awkwardly lame that it almost works, but it makes me cringe
and still nowhere NEAR as lame as L1C4…. {*throws up international hand gesture for “loser”, er, Louisville*}
19 – It’s a house centipede. They are not nice things.
Dear Doron – Absolutely “No Cameras” allowed in your bathroom when you think of the poor “Travis Alexander” 🙁
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Travis_Alexander
If we reach the number one recruiting class, can we yell, “Uno!”?
I cant believe Stoops thinks Yahtzee is cool. Someone needs to tell him it might of been cool when he was a kid or something but not now. There is no difference between Yahtzee and Bingo. So uncool.
Well, apparently ‘Toine still has all those suits of his that were hanging in every city in the U.S.
And EC does just get it! Stick it to the NCAA any way you can!
I hope Brian Long appreciated those curly fries.
Yahtzee was invented by a very wealthy Canadian couple in order to entertain their guests on the yacht they owned, true story.
Being a teenager myself (like all of the recruits) I think the Yahtzee thing is hilarious. The kids love it so that’s all that matters.
