March Madness

Thank goodness the Crappie Fishing will be picking up. It holds a lot more promise than our Wildcats!

You Got That Right! I will refain from jott'n down my opinion of Tubby Smith's coaching ability, or lack there of! The last time I posted my opinion somebody didn't like what I had to say and deleted my post. I used no foul language just stated a fact. You can bet Rupp is rolling over in his grave!

I couldn't agree more with regards for the need of a coaching change. Records speak for themselves. Vanderbilt beat us for the fourth consecutive time today, Florida has 5 on us and with the quality of player being recruited, things don't look good for the future. Just means we won't miss any fishing time trying to watch them in the NCAA!

[Wiskers]

You are right, but all you hear from the press is how he came to Ky. and won an NCAA Championship in his first year. Look back at that year. He started out shakey and then when he finally decided that he was wasting his time trying to change the player from the "Patino" style of ball to "Tubby" ball they started winning. He rode Patino's back right to a championship with Patino left overs. It has gone down hill from there! But like you said I don't miss near as many fish'n days as I did when we had a real coach. :D

If ya' think you guys got it bad, I'm a Cincinnati Bearcat fan. It's been a long season.

After 10 seasons, five have had double digit losses. It begins and ends with the coach. He took Pitino's team and one a national championship his first year and hasn't come close since. i never thought i would see the day where vandy beat us in 4 straight games, hats off to them.

We need a change, period. I work directly across from wildcat lodge and memorial, basketball on this campus is too comfortable.

I heard a man on the call in show several weeks ago sum it up this way.

Tubby smith inherited a corvette and turned it into a volkswagon. Rich Brooks inherited a volkswagon, with no engine, and turned it into a midsized sedan.

SOmething has to be done, mitch barnhart has to do it.

The state of UK basketball is sad indeed. When the Cats are not ranked in the top 20 for nearly the entire season things have fallen to a level we old timers do not like very much. We use to own the SEC and now we are just somewhere in the middle of the pack. I still say I'd rather see the team made up of 15 Kentucky boys with heart than players with supposedly better skills from someplace else.

[EDDY CREEK BANDIT]

I have found a positive out of all this mess. I will not have to choose between fishing or watching a tournament game. I have been foolish enough in the past I almost had to flip a coin. Not any more. I think what got me was the Morris fiasco. Mr. Rupp or Mr. Hall for that matter would have sent him out the door and wished him well. I think we have never recovered from that mess. At least that is what I think. THE BANDIT

[Newlight2]

He said after the game that they didn't do what he wanted, which tells me they should be benched ala Joe Hall. I agree with Bandit Morris does not give 100% and in my opinion will soon be trying to go to the NBA again. This time Tubby should take his scholarship and give it to a newcomer like Pitino did with Rhodrick Rhodes.

Morris CANNOT "try to go to the NBA again". He was not drafted. He cannot enter the draft ever again. He is now an unrestricted free agent. Should an NBA team wish to call his number then he will be gone.

In the meantime ... DRAIN THE TUB ALREADY. I was fed up years ago, and now it's just plain sickening to watch. On average I used to attend around 4 home games a year, and the annual game in Freedom Hall here in Louisville. This year I've been to 1 and had my father gone with me I would have left that game at the half. We need our pride back. We need our program restored. We need kids who are willing to give 110% for the name on the front of the jersey. We need UK basketball back.
