No, John Calipari did not know what “YOLO” meant


Yesterday, eyebrows around the Commonwealth raised when John Calipari tweeted this:
Team lifts at noon and then walkthrough and dinner tonight. I'm going to Mass, then to watch my Steelers! I'll meet the team tonight. YOLO!

“YOLO”? Really, Cal? A reporter asked him if even knew what the acronym meant, prompting this hilarious exchange.
“What’s that?” Cal replied, looking baffled. “What did you say?”
When the reporter said that Cal tweeted ‘YOLO,’ Cal turned to Eric Lindsey, who manages his social media accounts.
“I said, ‘You only live once.’ He did the ‘YOLO.’ Like, what are you talking about?”

Of course, the fear here is now that Cal knows what YOLO means, he’ll use it all the time.
“Listening to ‘Hey Soul Sister,’ YOLO!!!!!”
“Ellen just made a Blue Apron meal, YOLO!!!!!!”
“Alaskan Bush People marathon on TV, YOLO!!!!!”

TT, please write more often. Even better, please take over for Drew.
I agree totally! Tyler.Thompson is by far the best writer on this website. While other writers are posting political drivel on the basketball board no less or writing childish articles about the places they got drunk and partied or posting gifs they think are funny like instead of Stallions name the team scallions (as Matt would say if you’re gonna make a joke at least make it funny), Tyler is writing about things we want to hear UK sports and things related to UK sports, she interjects humor when appropriate and when she does its funny. All the writers on KSR can take lessons from Tyler, especially the ones on the weekend who it seems to ever proofread or check for spelling mistakes make sure they have people’s names spelled correctly or a teams’ nickname is correct, like when it was posted by another writer that Romeo Langford plays for the New Albany Red Devils(New Albany’s nickname is Bulldogs), the Red Devils are Jeffersonville, New Albany’s biggest rival. I could detect a Tyler Thompson post over another writer’s just by reading it because hers are easy to follow, names spelled correctly, and to the point, with just the right amount of.the most ridiculous manner possible. I hope Matt pays Tyler well because this website would lose a ton of readers if Tyler ever left. I know I find myself skipping over posts written by others and reading Tyler’s posts first. She is the glue who holds this website together and I for one appreciate her hard work very much! And no I’m not the president of the Tyler Thompson fan club, mainly because she hasn’t asked me to. Haha. Keep up the great work TT!
