Adolph Rupp said that if the Basketball program at the University of

Kentucky should fail, then he has built it upon a sand foundation. I

hate to see that come true, but with each progressive season under

Coach Tubby Smith, the University of Kentucky's foundation has

weakened to where it is now at the point of collapse. In his 9 (soon

to be 10) years at Kentucky he has nearly destroyed what it took 100

years to build

Don't forget Pitino is the better dresser too. :thumb:

[1996]

Better hair? ....Yes. Better Dresser?....Debatable.

Are you kidding me? We all know Donna buys Orlando's suits at Dawahare's in the Fayette Mall, meanwhile Joan is picking up Prada and Armani for Slick Rick in Manhattan!

So did you just directly copy and paste this from the catspause? if so, isnt that some kind of plagiarism? Because it pretty much says the EXACT same thing.

[Rickyp]

Rick took over a much better situation than Tubby. UK fans weren't crazy back then.

 

Seriously, how can anyone argue with those stats?

[TubbyCAT]

Apples and Oranges in all reality!

[hoopboy]

That pretty much tells me everything I need to know.

[Hip-Hop Box]

Come on now... we really have to get over this Rick Pitino Vs Tubby Smith era...96 sorry Pitino is not coming back LIG...

[HammerTime]

Get over it, Pitino is long gone and not coming back.

I'm sorry I thought most people on here were capable of reading! The first line says I got this in my e-mail.

 

Stay on topic and quit trying to be so argumentative.
