Weclome, Tubby!

According to several sources, recently deposed University of Kentucky b-ball coach Tubby Smith is coming to the U.

While Tubby is not his actual name (turns out it's Orlando...who knew), you still gotta love a guy who unblinkingly goes by a nickname that is considered an insult 99% of the time. Though to be fair, it reportedly comes from the fact that he liked hanging out in the family wash tub as a youngster, not a bad spot for one of 17 children to get a little alone time, I guess.

But more importantly, this may be the ticket to finally turning around the U's, how shall we put it, lackluster performance in hoops for the past decade. Ever though the ban that prevented us from entering the postseason has long ago been lifted, it seems like we're still in an embargo.

Of course we did just win the National Championship in wrestling and are well on our way to winning yet another hockey championship, but it would be nice for the U to become good in a sport people actually watch and/or care about for a change.
