The Rivalry Begins, Yesterday

So as the SportsThat official Twitter blogger (follow me SportsThat), the rivalry between UW and UK has been set afire today. Demarcus Cousins retweeted something Washington's Isaiah Thomas said about Kentucky this afternoon and you know that UK fans can't handle someone talking about their team. They turn all BoogieWoogie vs Thunderstick in the comments section.

Cousins, who has an estimated 12,000 followers, most of whom would be assumed Kentucky fans, sent the Big Blue Nation into a frenzy with his retweet. Here are Thomas' two KENTUCKY post:

BoogieCousins: RT Isaiah_Thomas2: I hope we play KENTUCKY nxt yr n the Maui classic. All I gotta say is ITS BOUT TO GO DOWN. A BARK over a meow ne day

Big Blue Nation swarmed Thomas' twitter, sent him skyrocketing up the list of most tweeted items, followed him at a crazy rate and then Thomas responded:

Isaiah_Thomas2: Haha Kentucky fans why are yall all following me??? Ima DAWG I ain't no wildcat so please unfollow me BIG BLUE NATION LMAO

So as BoogieWoogie mentioned earlier, this is just a sign to reaffirm the Huskies definite 'thing' against the "meow" of Kentucky. The Maui Invitational should be WAY more interesting now.
