I don't think it is really fair to compare records as he did, but oh well just wait a few years and we'll see.

I agree.

An interesting poll would be for UM, would you want Tubby or Billy G.

An interesting poll for UK would be would you have preferred Tubby stayed or have Billy G.

 

 

I do miss.......

 

to have jumped players who made mistakes, inspiring the term "The Tubby Stare."

As others have said on here, OUCH!

 

Not San Diego State. San Diego, which compares in size but not athletic tradition to Eden Prairie High School.

 

 

In October, Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl called Kentucky "the team to beat" in the SEC. Asked if he is surprised by the Wildcats' losing, Pearl admitted, "A little bit."

Lexington, epicenter of the mentally imbalanced basketball universe. :lol:

 

Those willing to excuse Monson and Gillispie will cite roster turnover and injuries, but college coaches make their contract demands based on wins and losses, so records are fair game.

I agree, I don't think comparing records is fair, however Tubby has done a much better job coaching this year so far than BCG.

A friend of mine from Minnesota mailed me a copy of their paper and in it it questioned UK fans because it said that UK had verbal commitments from Jai Lucas and Patrick Patterson and after tubby left they both decommitted and only Patterson recommitted to UK. I mean it could just be my memory is bad but I don't remember either of them ever verbally committing to UK b4 Patterson signed his letter of intent.

:laugh: Classic line.

I've said this a few times, and it's often dismissed as rumor, but it came from someone close to the McD's AA game production. Patterson and Lucas verballed to UK and were going to announce it at the game. When Tubby left they canceled that segment in the program...

Neither verbally committed unless it was in secret. Imo BCG was the main reason we got Patterson. They said Patterson liked Tubby a lot, however UF was the leader until BCG came along.

Is that hearsay? or are you pretty confident in that? Im up-to-date on the recruiting trail and had heard nothing of that?

GT was posting that in March of 2007. He has a great reputation for knowing those types of things. I give it great credence.
