I enjoy being in the chase for a national championship each year but I can also say that I enjoy watching players stay around long enough to really get to know them. Getting the best of the best each year is great but sort of leaves an empty spot in a sense. There will always be players who...
Dallas Cowboys "Americas team" was a football squad. The Yankees are American baseball in a nutshell. Basketball is then left to the Boston Celtics and drum roll "Your Kentucky Wildcats"!
Why isn't he Tubby threads pinned to the top like some others topics? Maybe have the weasel and Billy Clyde and any other soup of the day all in one spot. I think there have been some very good takes in this one over all, thanks for picking up the ref's whistle in this one.
Thank you for presenting that in a way that causes me to look at that parody in a different light. In my defense I never intended to make light of Tubby earning the position by his own hard work to put himself in a position to be offered that job. It seems that the intent I had, slipped through...
The next thing you know someone will claim that WCS played wide out in high school. No news here, Billy and his family are Floridians and I don't see that changing. Especially to a dump like IU.
I said seemed to have played it and that is because he never in my memory tried to debase his supporters use of it. A fine line maybe but sometimes being silent says more about you than just coming out and saying it.
This line of thought seems to make Tubby a victim. That makes me want laugh and vomit at the same time. The sad thing about the entire Tubby area is the fact that he actually seemed to have played the race card at times also. Tubby was an important part of our history but not exactly above reproach.
No and as I have stated Jackie and Tubby meant and faced many different things. Joker's hire to me was not near as important as Tubby's was. Football at UK doesn't have the same spotlight on it as UK basketball does. I would like to see us become as well thought of in football as our basketball...
I seem to have started a fire storm by saying that Tubby Smith was UK's Jackie Robinson. I was called an idiot, which isn't the first time I have been called that. I have been told that Tubby never faced the hatred that Jackie Robinson did when he was brought into the major leagues. I agree with...
Small town guy who grew up a fan of the University of Maryland and was offered and accepted a scholarship to that school. They changed coaches and pulled the offer from him and he ended up at High Point. Took a hit but moved on. He did well enough coaching to be offered the U K job and won it...
