Wan’Dale Robinson uses Kentucky baseball’s Spiderman meme celebration
Kentucky baseball is coming off the best season in program history, but despite their tremendous play on the field, it was their antics outside the lines that made them rise to notoriety around the college baseball landscape. Pink hats, blue mustaches, and odes to Ravishing Rick Rude were staples in what made the Bat Cats lovably weird, but perhaps their most famous quirk was the Spiderman meme celebration after a player hits a home run. Now, another Kentucky legend, Wan’Dale Robinson, plans to use this same celly in the NFL.
Before Hawk Tuah, the Spiderman meme was up there with the most viral imagery across the Internet. In case you’ve been living under a virtual rock, the meme consists of three Spidermen pointing at each other.
In a recent practice, New York Giants wide receivers, Wan’Dale Robinson, Malik Nabers, and Jalin Hyatt (each of whom played at an SEC school), did the Spiderman meme celebration after Robinson took a Daniel Jones pass to the house.
Afterward, a reporter asked Robinson about it, a question that sounds like it would have come from a KSR writer. Robinson said, “We saw the meme and we were like, ‘That would be a pretty cool little celly.’ So, that was pretty fun.”
Although Robinson didn’t say he saw it from Kentucky baseball, we have to assume the Bat Cats were the origin. Right? I mean, right? Regardless, look for Kentucky Baseball’s Spiderman meme celebration coming to an NFL endzone near you.
Robinson is entering his third season in the NFL and is finally healthy. He is on many a fantasy football blogs’ sleeper list and is part of one of the speediest wide receivers corps in the league. In short, we might see this Spiderman celebration quite a few times this season.
