Tubby Smith bolts for MINNESOTA?!

I got to admit, I didn't see this one coming. I mean, Tubby leaving Kentucky is one thing, the fan base in Lexington was growing impatient and Tubby was locked into a program that hated him unless he won a national championship (see: Roy Williams). But Smith is bolting for Minnesota to fill the opening up there. The Golden Gophers have been horrendous for years, and decided to pony up and pay almost 2 million a year for a big name coach. We knew there could be coaching moves in the SEC, but this one is a surprise. Stay tuned, could be more on the way.
