Tubby Smith resigns, taking Minnesota job

[Soul Daddy]

I'm pretty broken up over this and I don't know what to think. I love Tubby and think he's been very underappreciated, but also feel that his teams have underachieved for a while. I guess I'm a fairly standard UK fan, though significantly less of a redneck. I do feel like most of us act entitled to incredible success, and act like a bunch of babies when we don't get there. And we haven't gotten there in a while, so it hasn't been a pleasant environment. This was pretty much inevitable.

In the long run, I feel this is for the best. Tubby hasn't had true support of this fan base for a long time, if ever. He never even gets full credit for his championship run in '98. I don't think he's been happy for a while, and he's put up with quite a lot from the fans and the media.

It's been fun, Tubby. Hopefully UK can find a worthy successor. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
