“I’ve never been to your website, I just follow you on Twitter.” “That’s fine.” I have that conversation a lot. And that’s fine. I tweet enough links that I would hope you’d end up here anyway, but a follow on Twitter is just fine. Wait, you do’t follow me? Well, follow me.
Below you will see FOUR Top 10 lists: one for most liked tweets, one for most retweeted tweets, one for most engaged tweets, AND NEW THIS YEAR… one for most impressioned(?) tweets. Retweets are best to me because they spread the word, but likes are the better metric. Engaged tweets are those that someone clicked on (usually to see an image), and impressioned tweets are the number of people that saw it, so basically the more RTd or liked a tweet was, the more people that saw it. That’s probably the best metric now. Ok, I’m rambling. Anyway, here are my Top 10 tweets of 2018 (depending on what you use to define a successful tweet). You’ll notice one from after the LSU game that keeps popping up.

It’s amazing that Auburn won the basketball AND football SEC regular season championships in the same academic year. #wareagle

Kentucky jumped Auburn in the Coaches’ Poll.

Both Ole Miss and Miss St fans chanted "UCF!" at Auburn during basketball games.
Auburn beat Ole Miss 44-23 in football and Ole Miss didn't go to a bowl. Auburn beat Miss St 49-10 in football.
Auburn beat both in basketball, Ole Miss twice. Stop being stupid, Mississippi.

The SEC Championship Game has been deemed needless and pointless. Therefore, it should not be played and we go back to pre-1992 rules.
Auburn, Georgia, and Alabama all finished 7-1. Auburn held all tiebreakers. Auburn is your 2017 SEC Champion. Print the shirts.

I’m probably overthinking it, but I’ve been trying to figure out what the hole is in the football of the Music City Bowl logo. I’ve decided it’s the hole of an acoustic guitar. Am I right? pic.twitter.com/KCYu0CG0FT

You know what the tough guys say, only great teams can go on the road and win with a touchdown given to the opponent and a touchdown taken from you. Zero consistency on the two calls.
I’m not going to read any response to this.
