Josh Q. Public: How do you like me now? Now that I’m on my way? Do you still think I’m crazy standing here today? -Toby Keith
Public Service Announcement: Ok here we go! Orlando Smith. “Tubby” The man who once led Kentucky to 263 Wildcat victories. The man who once led Kentucky to five SEC titles. The man who once led Kentucky to one National Championship. That man. That man’s at it again. He’s in Minnesota now. Minnihaha. Land of 10,000 lakes. The Golden Gophers. Minnesota, hats off to thee! To thy colors true we shall ever be. Firm and strong, united are we. Yeaaaaaaah Gophers! The 10-3 Golden Gophers. The team to beat in the Big Ten. Frenetic basketball. Frenzied basketball. Fast basketball. Furious basketball. Tubby Smith basketball. Yes, they already lost to Michigan State. But everything’s coming up roses at Williams Arena. That lucky star I talk about is due! Honey, everything’s coming up roses for me and for you! Not so much at Rupp. They chased Tubby out. Now look. Take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space. And there’s nothing left here to remind me. Nothing left here to remind me of Tubby and those winning Wildcat ways. Kentucky under Billy Gillispie is 6-7. Ouch! Kentucky under Billy Gillispie has one win against teams with a winning record. Ouch! The Kentucky Basketball team under Billy Gillispie continues to struggle and are fresh off a home loss to hated Louisville. Ouch! Not so many ouches in Minnesota. The Golden Gophers just shut down Northwestern. Shut down Northwestern and their puzzling three-game winning streak at Williams. In the coming weeks, Minnesota takes on PennState, Indiana, Michigan State and Ohio State. In the coming weeks, Minnesota and Tubby will be back on the map. The same said map Kentucky and Billy Gillispie have fallen off of.

Good topic here Josh... Tubby is off to a nice start so far, but he is obviously just getting into the beef of the Big Ten schedule. We'll see how it all goes... heck, even Penn State is 2-0 in the conference right now.
glad minn. happy with tubby. please remember these praises five-six years from now when his recruits are coming in. they still win but they just fall short in the big games that really count.
