Fire Tubby?

I thought that I would pass on these quotes from The Devils Den forums courtesy of Truth About Duke It might sound just a little familiar.

i’m sick of slow ass players. it’s killing those program.

i’m sick of some of you being defensive about us having slow ass players. i’m sick of you guys not understanding that having elite athletes often offset mental mistakes and missed free throws. having elite athletes who can take an outlet pass and race 60 feet for a damn layup is NICE once in a while. hell, i enjoy it!

i’m sick of people using “we’re spoiled” as an excuse. look, we know what we signed up for. when we invest the level of emotional energy for MONTHS that we do rooting for duke basketball…c’mon, you expect a certain reward.

next year is critical. all of those guys had better pan out. every last one of them. or we are cooked. K doesn’t have many years left, man. he’d better get it back on track.”

For what it’s worth, Mitch Barnhardt made a statement in support of Tubby:

“Tubby’s our basketball coach,” athletic director Mitch Barnhart told The Associated Press on Monday. “He’s done a great job of representing the platform of Kentucky basketball. We’ll always look to make adjustments to the things we’ve got to do to get better. Tubby and I will do that collectively.”

It’s probably not enough for some UK fans to get off the subject and focus on basketball, but it is for me. I’m very much looking forward to the Villanova game.

Karma. Sweet, sweet, karma.

Oh, how I hoped this day would come. Literally hundreds of thousands of people (in Lexington alone) are giggling with excitement upon hearing the news. JJ Redick was arrested last night for driving while intoxicated (DWI). I’ve had conversations with friends about the things I wished he would be arrested for; prostitution, gambling, gambling with a prostitute. Oddly enough, I never once pictured him being a DWI type of guy.

To make this day even more special Colin Cowherd has been railing against the idea of JJ being one of the preeminent NBA players. I’d like to dip this whole day into bronze like they used to do with baby shoes so I could put it on my shelf and walk by and smile occasionally.

Sorry to interrupt the debut of our new contributor, I just couldn’t pass up this news. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

edit: Oh please let there be dash cam, stumbling, Huggins bumbling goodness. Actually, why hasn’t the sobriety test been officially renamed “The Huggins” when sports stars are arrested.
