On his livechat today on the UKAA site, UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart let it be know he is no fan of the Satirical Mitch Barnhart twitter page.
First off, let me say there is somebody out there posing as me and saying some incorrect and at times, offensive, on a Mitch Barnhart Twitter account. I do not have a Twitter account nor do I think anyone is interested in the day-to-day activities of my life. I will leave that to Cal, Rich, Joker, Matthew and any of our other coaches.
Among the fake Mitch tweets:
Starting early on thinking about my Halloween costume. I’m thinking I’m going to be a Hee Haw charactor!
why can’t I have the same number of followers like Cal? What he got that I don’t..and I HIRED the guy!
Was told that in Billys new book he referred to me at the greatest AD of all time. I’m humbled
From observing Barnhart since he arrived in Lexington, it comes as no surprise that he is so thin-skinned and apparently has no sense of humor. By whining about it he’s simply giving the prankster more exposure. He should have just stated it’s not his posts and let it go. Me thinks he doth protest too much…
