Kentucky last night won a first round game in the Tournament for the 16th year in a row. Most schools would kill for that kind of success. Not UK. A good portion of the Big Blue Nation wants to run Tubby Smith out on a rail. Tubby might be smart to get a lawyer, negotiate a buyout, and take the money and run. He's a darn good coach. However, he's not signing a ton of hamburger All-Americans, and the relative lack of talent has reduced the Cats to a middle-of-the-pack SEC team. UK fans expect more. They expect Final Fours and national championships.
I am 23-9 after the first round of bracket picks. Normally, that's a decent record. This year, with the rash of favorites winning, that is not a good record. Sure, I got VCU and Winthrop right. But, I blew it on teams such as Albany, George Washington, Oral Roberts, and Old Dominion. The Wife, on the other hand, is 29-3. She only missed Duke-VCU, Notre Dame-Winthrop, and Arizona-Purdue. Brackets are a very inexact science.
Time to clean house and to keep up with TOSU vs. Xavier.
