The general mood of the sports-loving side of state - and I being in Kentucky therefore mean the entire state - is one of overall happiness, at least from what I've seen. Tubby's flaws as a coach - most notably his absolutely awful recruiting abilities - were being more evident as Kentucky's program slipped more and more into mediocrity.

Understand: Yes, he coached the 98 team to the Title - but the team was almost entirely Pitino's recruits. Hasn't won since, hasn't even come close in recent years, once his OWN recruits took over the program.

You know who *I* think UK should hire? Pitino. Now THAT would be sweet.

Huge signing for the Gophers. It'll be nice to see them actually competetive for the first time in 10 years.

I don't think so. Cards fan here!;)

I think UK fans have their hearts set on Billy Donovan.

Did he really "leave" or was he sort of pushed out the door? lol
