You snuck that part in on me.

 

He also tied the longest FF drought in UK history lost to Vandy the first time ever at Rupp and 4 straight times as well as Florida 6 straight times and half his seasons were 10 loss seasons...........

Not sure of the book but someone will point it out for me...............

 

It was the best of times.........It was the worse of times.:thumb:

 

 

 

I think GT made a point in another thread that needs repeating. A UK coach with a pipeline and tie-in with Texas HS talent is nice.

Agreed, nice to have a civil discussion on here every now and then.:ylsuper:

Coach Gillespie starts the new era of UK basketball and it is a good thing. Great hire and with his personality and style he could be the Rupp of this generation in Kentucky basketball. I am soooooo excited. GO CATS.

Not coming from you...Some of the stuff you say I have to ask myself, "Is this guy serious?"

No where but no where did anyone write anything about UL fans hating Tubby but sure enough you made it out like that. So ask yourself who is the one making stuff up? Like I said don't be one of those guys and lighten up.

Paraphrased:

 

Jai Lucas: "UK got a steal with Gillispie..."

 

 

 

Who knows what that means, if anything....

I think it was Drummond of the Cats Pause who reported it.

No where will you find anything about UL fans hating Tubby but sure enough you made it up. So ask yourself who is making stuff up? Don't make something out of nothing. You need to lighten up.

When you say, "UL fans are going to have a tough time hating this guy.", it gives the impression that you think for whatever reason UL fans hated Tubby...If it was sarcasm, it was a lame attempt, try including a smilie...

:jump: I'm happy! He won me over during the press conference. He came across to me that he really wanted the job, he was humble yet passionate about basketball. (He isn't too bad on the eyes either!) Looking forward to basketball season and cutting down nets again!!!! GO KENTUCKY!!!

That's one thing that you can definitley say about him, IMO.

Since we hated Tubby, right?

 

Why would you UofL or Gator fans, or Commodore fans hate Tubby ? He is the best thing to ever happen to your programs! Maybe all 3 can get a home & home with Minnesota on the schedule starting next year!

I'm just interested to know who some of you are that voted no. If you don't mind, identify yourself, and give a reason why that you aren't happy with this hiring?

I believe Tubby had a winning record against each. In fact, wasn't Tubby the ONLY one of Pitino's proteges to beat him?

Ladiesbballcoach are you Tubbys long lost relative, or maybe his neighbor in Lexington?

Why do you wish to keep going on about this Tubby thing. I know I was one of the biggest Tubby supporters out there, yet it is over with now. This whole thing just needs to come to a rest. Tubby is at a place that he will be respected and wanted like he deserves, and now we have a coach who also i a great coach like Tubby and might be even a better fit for UK and actually might have the UK fans arguing with other teams fans all the time instead of with each other now like we have the last two years. This whole thing ended up being whats best for both parties involved. I know I was arguing with people all the time still about Tubby, but now we got a new coach and its just time to move on...
