Nobody called you racist. You have hit dog syndrome from something that wasn't even said. I said yall hate Tubby and you do. No one else even cares about Memphis, yall post every negative article make a post about every loss and have a passionate reaction a decade after he left. Bill Curry was next level awful at UK and you will never see a post trashing him, let alone 20-30 multi page threads every season.


You do realize their are many more threads about Pitino than your hero Tubby. Also i have to ask how come your not taking up for Pitino like you do Tubby?

Pitino is relative to UK because he coaches our #1 rival. I believe we've been over this in this thread.
 
And another race card played. That makes like 4.
I don't know if you're racist or not because I don't know you, but you did seem to enjoy NCukcat62 calling Michael Smith and Jamelle Hill Jungle Bunnies. I will vouch for the stupid part though.

First. I hate Tubby Smith because he is a horrible basketball coach.

Second. I hate those two racist people on air at six. I want sports not stupid politics.

Thrid. I hate you because you support apparently Tub of shit and racist at 6.

Nah, I don't even watch Sportscenter at 6 pm. It has nothing to do with the hosts, I just don't see the point of watching an SC with zero new content. I just objected to the hosts of that show being called Jungle Bunnies in the ESPN layoffs thread. You remember, I believe you cheered it on.

Your dam right I did. It's a joke what they are trying to make out of nothing but sports. You just admitted you don't watch it. I refuse to anymore. Maybe you should tune in.

CottonNash44 is the guy who feels the need to fit in, can't be a man and stand on his own 2 feet, so he joins in the mob to feel cool.

Is that why I have to take on half the board and defend my unpopular take on the Diallo situation?

Maybe tone down the savior of Tubby complex and stop caring if someone doesn't like Tubby. And did you seriously report people? That's shameful .

Plenty of mediocre people get overpaid at their job. I have no issue with Memphis paying Tubby big money. He is a shell of his former self and has had no real success (NCAA Tourney wise) since 2005. He did well at Tulsa and UGA pre-UK, and did some very good things here, including an amazing title run in 98, but he has not done much since. He should be able to coach as long as someone will pay him money to do so. It's not Tubby's fault on that front.
 
Truthfully, I have no issue with him in the Rafters. I actually think UK missed an opportunity while he was at Tech. They could have brought him in for a game, had the ceremony (and then taken their butt kicking, lol). With him being at Memphis, so chance of that happening.

Honestly, if anyone thinks he belongs in the HOF should have their head examined (and trust me, there are a few already in that are utterly non deserving). He's in no way a hall of fame coach


Tubby will be in the HOF.

If John Cheney is in the HOF, you better believe the Tubster will be too.

Unpopular take....

Calling a current player names and making accusations of which you have zero information?

Before a decision has even been made?

You should be called out, your "take" has been embarrassing.

If HD returns you will apologize to the posters here and self ban for the summer if you have any decency whatsoever.
 
You're on a message board going nuts and crying all over the place simply because someone doesn't like Tubby.

You're acting hysterical and way too attached to Tubby.
I'm sorry I took issue with the group you want to be a part of. Now you're crying all over the place just because someone took issue with the group attacking someone.

You're acting hysterical and way too attached to the group.

Yeah, that makes no sense.

I'm curious why you don't come on here and defend Billy Gillispie and tell us how wrong we are for not liking him either?
 
I like Tubby but his time was up at UK. Ten years at a school like Kentucky is an eternity. Even his staunchest admirers would have to agree. And, while I didn't read all of the above posts, I'd add that we took grief for him leaving for two main reasons: one, we are the king of the hill. Tennessee football is a big thing - in Tennessee. It's not a national program so no one outside of the state's borders cares what they did with Fulmer. Two, the haters have labeled us racists so choosing to believe Tubby was wronged fits the narrative. Interestingly enough, we are likely one of the few power five schools to have hired black coaches in both revenue sports. Seems that doesn't get much airtime.

It doesnt matter if he is at a rival, you see more threads about Tom Crean and your not their defending him either, we do not play IU. Same goes for Sean Miller, lot of posts saying ber sucks but your not defending him.
Only reason why threads about Tubby going 6 pages is because your being unreasonable and going after other posters. If you laid off the threads the. Maybe their only a half a page and gone in a few hours.
You also need to realize is that their are a lot of posters here who are in west tn and so Tubby is very much in their face. I know this because im one of em.
Josh Pastneur was a topic on this board a ton of times and you never come to his rescue like you do Tubby. So why is that? Both coached at Memphis....
This board makes fun of every coach that isnt UK's and this board will go after Cal as well and dont recall you coming to Cals rescue. Its not like their is only one coach that bbn goes after.
 
I guess the theory here is that there is some program somewhere in the entire world that doesn't know that Tubby is not a good recruiter - - and that it's up to our cadre of geniuses on the UK board to teach them about something they already know. Please tell me that's true.
 
After watching that video on the original post I got depressed. What happened to him? Tubby literally has no fire in his belly at all. He wasn't like that when he came to UK. He was like that when he left. He just seems content to ride out his last days of coaching wherever somebody will hire him and keep adding to his retirement plan.
 
You folks need to get a life Tubby will retire a rich man and a Member of the Naismith Hall of Fame and none of you whiners can do a thing to change it So type away to your hearts conntent[banana]

LOL that's all the few apologist left have because you damn sure can't cite his record. He's going in the HOF for reasons other than basketball. He's retiring a rich man because he was somehow able to dupe athletic directors who regret hiring him every time.
 
I don't hate Tubby. I hate those that said we should've never gotten rid of Tubby and we were racist and those that said we shouldn't run him off instead we should erect a statue of him. Tubby has done great in life...his teams, not so much.

If Tubby can keep getting AD's to shell out millions to him, more power to him. Just don't let it be our AD!

Make sure to come back and take your medicine when I'm proven right about Diallo. Maybe take a self ban this summer for being so far off on bashing my prediction and observation.

I also see someone deleted my post pointing out the irony of you talking about decency. Kind of humorous. Oh well.



Why do I have to take medicine?

He may go or he may not. You bad mouthing him before a decision has been made is stupid and makes you look foolish.

I use my real name on here and know many of these people. I dont know what you posted about me and really do not care. If you need me to know I'll PM you and you can reply. If you think the board should know I'll post it myself just for you.

Unlike you, I have nothing to hide... anonymous and hide your post history...


edit: Won't allow PM to you either, hmm...there is always email...or even better - in person over ice tea somewhere..?
 
That's saying eveyone who criticizes him hates him? That was directed to people who awarded the thread. There are legit criticisms of everyone, what happens in these Tubby Smith threads is something different. Again, you're either stupid or intellectually dishonest.

The criticism of Tubby is warranted and it wasn't necessarily driven by hate or personal dislike - just vindication. He did not recruit at the level required to stay a top 5 program consistently. He refused to make adjustments with his staff to help recruiting. He got fat, lazy and content during the end of his UK career and started running the program into the ground. Then us fans were unfairly labeled as racist by the Tubby Super Friends and national media for wanting a change. It become a race issue instead of a results issue.

Those fans deserve vindication and should be allowed an "I told you so" when Tubby is exposed for what he is - a good coach, who is a bad/lazy recruiter who is living off is time at UK.

The hate is real like I have always said people love the Black players but just not the coach sad, sad, sad.


I disagree.

Calling our posters racist is just lazy and wrong.

Do a poll asking who these "haters" would prefer - Tubby or BCG. I would like to think Tubby wins going away, those who choose BCG are your racists.

Most of the posters on here I know dont care if our coach is President of the Blank Panthers as long he wins some titles.

You are a pathetic pos. Don't project your inner racism on others. And black people don't need "White Goodman" coming to the rescue, people can handle themselves. Take your soft bigotry and shove it. Your kind have done nothing but set race relations back worse than before jim crow.

Bam!

You're spot on.

Most people don't realize who the real racists are.

You and I do.
 
Just a few facts left out of the tub love. For example in 10 years at 3 D1 universities, he has never, yes never had a winning conference record for any one year. He makes millions and delivers peanuts, just the facts. Sad but true.
