Everyone loves good meat on Twitter, and now Kentucky’s Twitter Fingers is overcoming the tobacco-filled fingers of the people who run the Tennessee Volunteers Basketball Twitter account. (I’m sure they are good people, but you get the idea.)

It’s one thing to be owned on the court, but on Twitter too? Just a rough look now for those who like to dress in putrid orange Rocky Top.

Beating Tennessee is routine

Oh, Tennessee. I agree, winning Kentucky three times is pretty impressive, but as Kentucky Basketball’s Twitter account points out, losing 82 games in all seasons doesn’t really indicate a winning routine at Volland.

Watch and smile

Life comes to you fast.

No, we’re having more fun!

Things were going very well for the Wildcats when this tweet was sent, but an epic breakdown started.

But, as usual, Kentucky laughed last.

Oh, and Kentucky didn’t celebrate like it won a tournament, which goes to the point that Kentucky will always be Kentucky and Tennessee will always be the team south of the border that never made it to the Final Four.

Vol-Twitter can take action from time to time. They may even beat the UK three times in a row, but if you have to dedicate a chart to one of your coaches beating Kentucky three times on the road, I wouldn’t necessarily call it rivalry.

Kentucky will always be king in this rivalry, but hey, at least Tennessee has its really relevant football team … never mind.
