March's Biggest Winner

Oh my dear lord, after I ripped the SEC a new rim, I get another chance to slam it down their basket holes again. If not being able to produce a sweet 16 team was enough, your best and biggest basketball team f*%$ed up ( no other words sorry).

This is a perfect example of why this is called the "Down South Report", I am here to tie two regions together with "unbiased" sports reporting. If you laughed at the unbiased reporting, so did I as UK explained their firing of Gillispe.

I admit, if State lost to VMI, Ole Miss, UGA (this year and prior to last years miracle on hardwood), Gardner -Webb, Houston and then follow up last years 11 seed with an non-invite to the dance I'd be pissed too.

However, UK, it's your own damn fault.

Even in this bad economy you hear crickets chirping. Your best candidates are either staying at current jobs or taking other jobs in the sec. Monster Jobs.com can't even find an app. for you.

UK, or maybe, UKKK, oh I went there! Tubby leave!

If you haven't and I am sure you didn't, listen to the UK Ad. explain this firing. It's great, he said everything right besides, opps I f*$%ed up by not keeping Tubby. I should of put out the fire with Tubby and made it right a couple years ago. If he had done that, I am sure Kentucky would have beat VMI in its opener this year and Gardner - Webb in its opener last year. I am sure if they were a 11 seed last year, they'd be a better 5 seed this year like LSU. Why you ask?

Well, he took a bottom feeder Minn. and grabbed the nation by it's balls. Opps, I did it again. Yes, he did, it started last year when he knocked Indiana off it's basketball pedestal in the big ten tourney. Then he came around with a hard jab and took UMinn to the the tourney, while UK went to the NIT. Trust me, I'd take that Meeks kid in a minute over...ummm...that one kid...oh yeah, I don't know any kid on Minn. Oh, Wait! I do! Ralph Sampson the III.

Shut up if you argue that Tucky went farther in the NIT then Minn did in the dance. Nobody cares about the NIT unless you're a mid major, a smaller power conference school ( UofM, Penn St., Auburn, Baylor), or a New York college. Point being, since UK doesn't fit those, they fired their coach, highlighting my point.

Tubby is ranked higher then Kevin McHale in Minn. and Kentucky can only name their football coach as a more famous person in their state. Why is that bad? Well, Kentucky is the SEC's door mate to greatness and their coach has a football field in Oregon named after him.

Besides that, Tubby took this often over looked big ten team to Arizona and beat number 1 seed L'ville, he wonda national championship in '06, six years after Izzo (or any other Big Ten coach) and he won 2 more games then Gillispie in their compared last seasons.

So why is Tubby the biggest winner. He's been rumored as a coach at a crappy ACC team, to do what he did at Minn., his former school lost in the NIT and he lost in the actual dance, he didn't loose to VMI and Gardner-Webb, he beat L'ville, oh and he still has a job!

Tucky, good luck! The coach you wanted, again, is staying put. The coach you wanted next took the Bama job (ps: left a VCU job better then yours) and despite Gus Johnson's great reporting of Izzo's unhappiness, you're not that lucky to get another good coach! Mizzou's coach would rather go to UGA then you guys.

I hope Tubby is sitting in a chillful 40's Minn. night, smoking a fine cigar, with a nice warming drink in hand (tobacco from a nice southern state and sipping on Kentucky's finest whiskey fielding calls) as Kentucky scrambles for shelter from this cold chilly coach hunt.

PS: I have nothing going on!
