Everyone likes good Twitter meat and right now Kentucky’s Twitter fingers outweigh the tobacco waste fingers of the people who run the Tennessee Volunteers Basketball Twitter account. (I’m sure they’re good people, but you get the idea.)
Is it one thing to own the track, but also on Twitter? Just a tough look now for those who like to dress up in the purple orange Rocky Top.
Beating Tennessee is routine

Twice is a coincidence.

Oh, Tennessee. Okay, beating Kentucky three times is pretty impressive, but, as Kentucky Basketball’s Twitter account points out, losing 82 games in all time series doesn’t really indicate a routine of winning at Vol-land.

Things were going great for the WildCats when this tweet was sent, but there was an epic collapse.

But, as always, Kentucky had his last laugh.

Oh, and Kentucky didn’t celebrate it as if it had won a tournament, which gets to the point where Kentucky will always be Kentucky and Tennessee will always be that team south of the border that has never been to the Final Four.
Vol-Twitter can get their digs from time to time. They could even win three times in a row in the UK, but if you had to dedicate a chart to one of your coaches who would beat Kentucky three times on the road, I wouldn’t necessarily say rivalry.
Kentucky will always be king in this rivalry, but hey, at least Tennessee has its football really relevant … it doesn’t matter.
