Cal on Twitter

Not the right Calipari

It seems like it was only a few weeks ago Calipari was sweeping us off our feet with promises to recruit the best of the best, win games and hopefully championships, and be in touch with the UK fanbase like no other. Wait a minute, that really was just a few weeks ago.

Calipari opened his Twitter account just a week or so ago, and it only took a few days to get to 10,000. Calipari commented that he couldn't wait to get to 20,000.

Ah, those were the good old days...before things went and got in a big hurry. Since then, Calipari reached his 20,000 easily, and currently stands at just under 74,000 followers. In fact, Calipari is still going strong, adding 10,000 followers just since the Wall commitment (which was a little more than 24 hours ago).

So, rather than be intimidated by the "big busy world" that we currently live in, and rather than writing "Whitenack wuz here" over the threshold of my home, I have decided to embrace this new technology.

BBB will keep a running status of Calipari's Twitter count. Purely for the sake of documentation....so that when March 2010 rolls around and Coach has 625,000 followers, we can look back on May 21st of 2009 and see how far and how fast he has come.

Additionally, if there is any noteworthy tweets (slightly embarrassed to even be typing that) from that day, we'll pass those along too.
