Butch Jones finally made up his mind about a coaching job and Tennessee finally ended it's long coaching search as BJ will move to Knoxville to coach the Volunteers. Whit Babcock put out a statement that said:
"I would like to thank Butch Jones for his time at the University of Cincinnati,” Cincinnati athletic director Whit Babcock said in a statement. “With that said, we are excited about the future of this program and this job will be extremely attractive nationally. Our search will begin immediately.”
That's pretty much what I'm guessing we all think. Steve Stripling will coach the Belk Bowl against Duke. I absolutely hated Tennessee when I was growing up and have never liked them. I think I said that in the Tennessee preview last year. I don't really care how Butch Jones does at Tennessee. I hope he doesn't get fired after 2 seasons, but I don't really want him to win the national title next year.
The way that Butch handled this week is ...

No. 11 Cincinnati 92, Md.-Eastern Shore 60
Cashmere Wright got ready to shoot a long 3 from the left wing, thought better and pulled the ball in. When the defender didn't respond, he fired away and swished it.
Cincinnati's senior point guard seems to be getting better at deciding when to shoot and when to pass, one of the things the 11th-ranked Bearcats want to see as they get ready for Big East play.

For the 11th time in school history, the Cincinnati Bearcats are 9-0. I didn't have to look that up because Tommy G said that roughly 49,823 times during the broadcast. Maryland Eastern-Shore is very bad. Cincinnati is very good. That was the story of the game. There is a week off before the Bearcats play again, so this game got the job done as an exercise in ass kicking.
