To: Lee Todd, President; Mitch Barnhart, Athletic Director When Tubby Smith accepted the position as the University of Kentucky’s Men’s Basketball Head Coach, he was fully aware of the Kentucky tradition, the high expectations for the team, and the fact that we had just appeared in two consecutive NCAA Tournament finals. He assumed the responsibility for managing and maintaining the winningest program in college basketball. www.petitiononline.com/firetubb/petition.html

Yeah, I read that the other day.
No matter how true it might be I doubt it making much difference. I also noticed that many of the names on the petition have been deleted because they were fake names so the actual number that have signed up are much less.

The number is rapidly growing however. I first viewed the number of signatures on Saturday and the number was barely over 1000. Now it's over 1400.
If nothing else I think it shows the growing discontentment with the job Tubby is doing at UK.

ED, It does show a growing discontentment though. Yeah, many of the signatures are bogus, but more than not are legit.
I wouldn't sign it because I know it means nothing, but the fact that it exists and the number is growing shows more than idiocy. Many of the posters that have signed it I'm sure are legit and feel the change is needed.
I understand you wanting to discredit the petition and it isn't that hard to do, but you cannot discredit the many that are on the list that are very serious in their feelings that a change needs to be made whether they are right or not, they aren't idiots.

They are IDIOTS for forgin a petition. WHICH in layman terms means that the petition is and will be considered BOGUS. That is the point I'm trying to make. Those idiots MAKE the petition BOGUS. ED

I wonder who would put fictitious names on it?? My bet it would be a Tubby lover. Sacrifice the good of the university for the beloved Tubster. Save the Tubster at ALL costs. To heck with UK basketball, as long as we have Tubby.
By the way, does anyone know what "forgin" means??

I signed it. We'll see how bogus it is when 30,000 people or so have signed it. Florida's petition was a major deciding factor in releasing Ron Zook. The difference is that UK players aren't going to fight against it because they agree, whereas Florida's football team loved Zook.

Going over every page of that petition now has if my calculations are right. 57% of the petition is either double names, or taken out because of being bogus. Then add on for those who are putting their dogs name in there and unborn childrens name. The stupidity is growing. The part I hate the most. Is UK Fans have lost all credibility from the rest of college basketball. I hope the minority of the fanbase is happy. They have made UK fans the laughing stock of the NCAA. Thank you. Dumb A**es!!!!

ED I guess that depends on who you ask. The petition is bogus because of the many signatures that are fake, but it's not bogus to me in that it represents the growing discontentment among the big blue faithful. I certainly don't consider any of them idiots. Immature mabe, but not idiots.

Whoever is in charge of the petition is trying to keep it as legit as possible. Believe me in that if the season keeps on its current track, the list of signatures will continue to grow.
