Tubby Smith called out by local fans.

So apparently, a bunch of concerned UK fans tried to buy a full page ad in the Kentucky Kernel (UK's independent school paper) giving about 50 reasons on why Tubby should be fired (not sure on exact amount of reasons, but it was what is known as a crapload). Some of their facts weren't straight, or were at least questionable. Such as Tubby Smith is the highest paid coach in basketball history. As our sports editor (and I guess you could call him a managing editor over the summer) Chris Johnson pointed out, "That doesn't mean anything. Construction workers are the highest paid construction workers ever, because of inflation, not their good work."

There were several other claims that were just too hard to prove. So the Kernel's editors and ad staff made a decision, "No ad". Running an ad like that could give us the $1500 or 1700 promised, but could potentially cost us 25 times that amount from UKathletics, or even other businesses. The choice of not running the ad was business, and the man was told that.

So yesterday, he turned to the WLEX station and the Herald Leader. They ran a short piece about us (which spelled our advisor's name as Chris Moore, not Poore). So we in return were going to run a piece about our side of the story.

I just haven't seen it, but it should be in there today. Now our website isn't back up and running, but even if I have to type out some of it myself, I'll keep you posted.

I'm going to also try to find their website to give you BOTH sides of the story.
