I think it’s safe to say that Rick Pitino’s new (verified) Twitter account is off to a rocky start.
First, Pitino’s graphic designer misspelled his name when the account was launched.
Now, he has decided to call his followers Pitweeto’s. No, really:
Alright Pitweeto’s sorry for the couple of bio/spelling mistakes yesterday. The graphic designer never heard of me 🙂
