I get to burn this one up right here....
Thanks for leaving out the following as well Yellow Snow...
Smith has won 77 percent of his games in nine years and just two years ago won 28 games and the coach of the year award in his conference. He's also starting three sophomores and his front line is mostly good and tall. Besides, even traditional programs are entitled to a poor season. Anyone see Oklahoma football lately? Smith has earned the right to get a pass this season
Selective reading is really something isn't it?
But that article was pretty interesting...
Im still amazed by the fact that a 21 win season is so terrible to certain fans...The fact that so many teams are down this year, and the only people calling for coaches heads are Kentucky and Indiana...Tubby is too smart to roll over and play dead like Davis...
The fact that great coaches like Lute Olsen at Zona is struggling this year and nobody is mentioning that...
How about the fact that Michigan State basically returned their whole team from a final four last year and reached double digit loses this season, yet I see nobody calling for Izzo's job? Yet he has underachieved more than anybody in the nation this year...Tubby lost 2 of his top 3 scorers from last season, and a team leader that was amazing...
Thing I find really intersting about that artricle is how he repeats that the expectations are unreal and the fans are spoiled and you're proud of that Yellow Snow..You're proud of being spoiled with your average of 1 national title every 14 years or so, because 7 titles in over 100 years is 1 per over 14 years...
The fact that he called Tubbys recent recruiting into question is interesting because even without Wright we're a top 10 class, and with Smith and Jones close to sign we'd be a top 5 class...
By the way, Tubby isn't going anywhere...
