It's been a busy week in the world of Twitter. But in case you missed anything, I've gathered all of the week's best tweets from across campus.
Football Team Dunk Contest
Just in case you didn't hear already, the Ohio State football team skipped their final day of Mat Drills to participate in some pick-up basketball to show off their new kicks from LeBron.
It was the final day of Mat Drills...

I always knew these guys were athletic, but this brings that to a whole other level.

After both some impressive and extremely sad attempts, the dunk contest crown was awarded to freshman linebacker Malik Harrison.

Ironically, Penn State's football squad held their own dunk contest the next morning at their practice — but I can tell you it was extremely lame because that's just the Nittany Lion way.
Mainly because they don't have hype men like Jalyn Holmes and Jonathon Cooper.

Campus Collection
As another academic week here at The Ohio State University comes to a close, there were some great tweets out there — but here are the ones that made the cut.
Last Friday, it was a beautiful 70 degrees and sunny in Columbus, Ohio.
Sweaty pit season came out of no where and I like it
— Jake Hausmann (@Jake_Hausmann) February 24, 2017
30 degrees, a tornado watch and a snow shower later, Mother Nature has found a way to confuse a number of Buckeyes — and left them questioning how this whole weather thing works.
Still confused how it is possible for Columbus weather to go from 75 and great one day to freezing and in the 30's the next #beyondme
— Cameron Johnston (@Cam_Johnston) February 25, 2017
Ohio weather is on one

Why is it snowing
— Demetrius Knox (@Meech_Dream14) March 2, 2017
Additionally, a few guys had some issues.
I hate watching millionaire because it gives me the same sort of anxiety you get when you take an exam and have no idea how to do a question

Get Out was a dope movie

Get out is a instant classic!
— Dontre Wilson (@treydayy_) February 25, 2017
"Get out" got me thinking lol
— leek (@Leek_8) March 2, 2017
Collectively, however, a few Buckeyes left me wishing I knew the context of their tweets.

Tweet(s) of the Week
This week, a few simple interactions and spelling errors between members of the Scarlet and Gray take the crown for the tweet(s) of the week.
The sass level is at an all time high.

— Spencer Strasmore (@TSprinkle93) February 26, 2017
But the spelling abilities are not.
