Billy Donovan is staying with the Gators.

Who do you think is the next logical choice for the wildcats? I'll put my money on John Calapari.

You're a Minnesota fan? Ha, even Tubby is a step up for you. We've been trying to get rid of his 10 loss ass for a decade.

We got Billy Gillepsi now. :woohoo:

I found many of the comments at http://www.firetubbysmith.com/ to be simply amazing. You guys are completely whacked when it comes to college basketball. Of course, what else do you have? Some minor league teams and a horsie race? Not much else to get excited about, I guess.

I hope that wasn't intended to be a subtle jab - because I totally agree with you. We have nothing else....except the winniest basketball program in the history of the sport.

We are not wacked. Well there are some of us that are....but most of us expect excellence from our teams. Its the same way with the Yankees and the Alabama and Notre Dame football programs.

Tubby Smith did not go to a final four his entire career with UK. He did go the first year he was there - when he bought himself a championship ring with Pitino's players. From there on, it was strait down hill. We went from a perenial number 1 seed who was always in the hunt - to two years as a #8 seed (both years highly overseeded)

Tubby doesnt play the style of basketball that we like here. Kentucky appreciates high potent offense with a full court attack, not the grinding defense coupled with slowly walking the ball up into a 7-pass offense. It's boring and hasnt proven to win.

We wanted him gone. Minnesota will be better for having them. They wont care if he loses 10 games a year up there or probably even 20.

We dont expect our coaches to go to the final four every year, or every 3 years. Just more than once in a decade. And Kentucky should never go into a game expecting to lose. A loss should be a surprise to all of us. The last few years, Kentucky was picked to lose about every freaken game.

We were horrible. Now it's time to get back on the mountain top.

When I first clicked on this thread I thought Landon Donovan turned down an offer to go play in the English Premier League...to which I thought, "who the hell would want Landon Donovan?"

This makes much more sense.

Ah. I know Beckam and Adu. Only soccer players I've ever heard of. I guess he makes three.

Yeah, can you believe that I'm actually a fan of the school I attended?

Ha, even Tubby is a step up for you.

Oh yeah, well UK's hockey team sucks!

We got Billy Gillepsi now. :woohoo:

Let me know how that works out for you. Seriously - college sports are different these days - dynasties are a lot harder maintain.

Didn't know you were a Golpher, Lionel. Guess there had to be atleast 1 reason to like them though, right?

Hockey Team? From me and the rest of the country = who gives a shit about Hockey?

Though, back in the day Ashley Judd posed in a very hot UK Hockey picture.

Like I said - we don't expect to be a dynasty. Kentucky is and should continue to be one of the megapowers of college basketball. As long as they are in the hunt - we're ok. They do need more than one final four a decade though, that's for sure.

Wait, UK actually has a hockey team? That actually ruins the joke. :)

Good thinking. The poster of Garrison Keillor in a bikini didn't go over well.

You gotta like any school that will put a hot girl on its posters. If they tried that at Minnesota there'd be massive protests against the misogynists in the athletic department.

We still have to get rid of Tubby's rift raft though...and let Billy G do what he does best - RECRUIT.

By the way - hi everybody.

You should see the team Tubby inherited here, they were 9-22 last year.

I guess Tubby is doing what he does best - COACH. :)

We'll have to compare notes at the end of the season.

And welcome back.
