Megan Calipari: “Guys we have the cutest most badass mom you don’t even know”

It’s really kind of hard to imagine what it must be like to be one of John Calipari’s children and see/hear the criticism he takes, especially on social media.

Sure, one way to avoid that would be to stay off social media. But that’s a lot easier said than done.

Megan Calipari is not shy about sharing opinions on social media (@MeganteCalipari on Twitter) and doesn’t mind firing back at those who criticize her father.

She had her share on fun on Twitter Sunday — and why not after UK got a spot in the Sweet Sixteen only a few weeks after many had written this Kentucky team off as perhaps the second worst UK team in Calipari’s nine years.

Take a look at some of her tweets from the last two days and enjoy.

— I’m at @JohnBrewers in Natick & when the bartender carded me he immediately turned all TVs to the UK game and turned the volume up.

— Guys we have the cutest most badass mom you don’t even know

— He’s actually not a sweets guy. Unless the food was given to him for free then he will eat literally anything. Anything.

— She’s such a badass. So grateful to have such a strong woman as my mom

— We have a whole new team from last season. And it’s not our fault that the lower seeds are winning. Your argument is invalid.

— Sorry guys I get salty in March. I will @ you.

— I don’t even know who I am in March its the madness

She is pretty cool....

Of COURSE Larry Vaught interviewed a Calipari daughter.

Guess random high school dance team members weren’t available.

Larry Vaught is great. Enough of the bs.

It's a pure coincidence Larry is always interviewing teenage girls.

I know literally nothing about her other than that she is is Cals daughter and I can imagine her having some kind of career in the public spotlight. She just seems to have the "IT" factor from a personality standpoint. Of course that could just be the Twitter talking.

Ahhh look, more Twitter feeds making news. Do journalists actual “journal” anymore?

 

[Lightbringer12]

Would.

Leisure suit Larry strikes again

 

[USMC Cat]

Megan is hot.

 

[musrat59]

Which one of his Daughters is a Dr ?

 

[CatGotMyTongue]

Her mother is Barbara Bailey?

Nothing wrong with resembling Barbara Bailey.

Megan and Erin are great ambassadors of both the Calipari family (maybe their Dad's biggest fans?) and the Big Blue Nation. They're extremely passionate and strong women, as most on here have seen, and embody all the positive qualities of La Familia.

If you have a uterus, Larry has an interview waiting for ya.

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

Too bad she got married.

 

[FanofUK]

Just started following her, cannot imagine what it would be like to be Cal's daughter. Seems to have a good relationship with her parents. Wonder if she visits this board or not.

Megan can we get a shout out to RUPP RAFTERS?

 

[GonzoCat90]

To be safe, has anyone seen or heard from her since?
