Yeah, K-Y sure made a great move in shoving Tubby out the door.

Too bad Minnesota didn't schedule Kentucky this season like Harvard scheduled Michigan. It would have been fun to see two disowned coaches bitch-slap their former teams.

Random fact but it's late. It has to be the first time in the modern era that a basketball team has scored less points than the number of letters in its official name.

Saint Louis University Billikens - 29 letters
Tonight's game - 20 points

Actually, that was pretty darn good for it being late.

Almost as humiliating as having a penis that in terms of inches is as small as or smaller than the number of letters in the word "penis.":biggrin:
