They have beaten the teams that basically the same squad couldn't beat this year.

 

And I don't see a single loss on their record along the lines of Gardner Webb or San Diego.

 

:thumb: Name one bad one that they have lost to (they have lost to a couple of average teams)...... No One picked them to do anything and they are beating the teams that they are supposed to beat, imo is just a matter of time before they are beating some of the better teams.:thumb:

 

From what I see Tubby is beating most of the teams on his schedule (a lot of teams would like to be 12-4 right now and in the top level of their conference.

I though that was what a coach was suposed to do. (Who Knew?? - LOL)

Interesting comments I heard by the commentators in the short time I watched the game. They stated that this Minnesota team was expected to be good this year even before Tubby got the job. I think it was something along the lines of they knew they had good players returning who could score and who gained valuable experience last year. So, while they have probably exceeded expectations, the fact that they are winning games & being competitive is not a total shock.

 

The commentators where discussing what Sampson from IN had said about MN. Sampson had made the comment that he thought MN was going to be a good team this season even before they hired Tubby.

Still waiting on a good team they have beaten.

 

They had any major injuries or 7-8 OVC type players left over?

Tubby is a good coach and will do well cause he hired a staff that will work. Why not bring Vince Taylor to UK?

Why not take his great staff at UK with him? He left this place a mess is my main beef.

 

You got your wish and Tubby is gone, why the need to drag him down? Is it not enough that he is no longer UK's coach? Do you want him to never coach anywhere else again? Does it bother you that much that he is winning somewhere else?

 

If you don't like Tubby and don't want to root for Tubby fine, don't read about Tubby or get into threads that are about Tubby.

 

If his success somewhere else is that disconcerting to you, I recommend you completely remove him from your life and not go into threads about him.

 

And for the record, UM lost to IU WITH GORDON by 5 points. WITHOUT Gordon, how many did UK lose to IU by?

This is really getting old buddy? As I said before we all are trying to move on past this, because we can argue back and forth about this forever like we all have on here for the last few years. It really is pointless.

 

But since you did want to go there, and bring this up in a Minnesota thread, I will reply. I mean have they beat any big name teams this year? No they have not. Have they won games, that they probably shouldn't have this year, yes they have. I mean since they lost to alot of these same teams they lost to last year, then that kind of shows that maybe they weren't suppose to win them this year. And well since you want to bring UK into this. UK did lose to TWO HORRIBLE TEAMS this year, and we just didn't lose a close game on a heart breaking shot to those two teams. We pretty much were dominated all game by those teams. Yes injuries hurt us, however we still had PLENTY of enough talent to win those games, and still more talent that what Tubby has at Minnesota. Yet he has won all those games unlike us. Also we at UK got killed by IU and they were without their best player. Minnesota though only lost by 5 to them and Gordon was playing. Minnesota was even winning with 1:30 to go in the game. Then had a shot to tie it with 10 seconds to go that they had a great look at but just missed. I just wish we could have had a chance to win it at the end like they did. So I mean you really dont want to have this argument at all...

 

Also you know what Tubby and Minnesota doesn't even have to be a top ranked team all year, but as long as they keep winning and beating everyone else. Then this year would have been a GREAT year for the team. I mean they have a great chance to get to 20 wins this year, which is a huge improvement over winning just 9 games last year.

 

So seriously you attempts to still bash Tubby is getting old and kind of weak now. As I said before, it would be best to just stop talking about this, there is no reason to even talk about it even more. Because there is always going to be an argument back to it, just like I just proved...

Last year OTS had some gray in his hair, but last night it was jet black. A little Grecian Formula? Anyway, I thought he did a good job against the Hoosiers. Wished the Golden Gophers had won.

Since you've brought UK into this thread:

 

On March 1st, 2008, I think UK would beat Minnesota by 10+ points and would take IU to the wire with a chance to win. JMO

Amazing what a reduction in stress can do for you :thumb:

Just going on what was reported and put on the screen.

 

Yeah, they showed 4.

 

They have already had 2 more than last year, at 6.

Depends on who is healthy.

I sure would hope we would be able to beat Minnesota by 10+ by then, because we have a lot more talent than they do on that roster. Its a shame actually to even have to say that if we played right now though, Minnesota might win.

And who brought most of the stress on him. That would be the fans? But remember people said fans had nothing to do with running him off. But that is for another discussion lol...

This is for another thread, but UK has improved immensely in the past 2 weeks. It just takes a little time when you have a new coach and new system. As for Minnesota, Tubby is getting the most out of what he has on the roster and that's commendable.

Amen to the bolded.

 

Question on the next sentence, why didn't UM have that same problem? New coach, new system, no problems.

Maybe Tubby's way is a little easier to deal with than Billy's way.
