Tubby Smith Moves Onto Minnesotta

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap-minnesota-smith&prov=ap&type=lgns

Long time head basketball coach at Kentucky, Tubby Smith, has decided to take over in Minnesotta. Tubby spent 10 seasons with the Wildcats, never missing an NCAA tournament, winning 5 SEC championships, and 1 national title. Smith said he decided to move on because he needed a new challenge. Well he got one. The Golden Gophers went 9-22 last season with only 3 wins in the overrated Big X

    Good move for Tubby. He deserved better from Kentucky fans.

    What does this have to do with the Big Ten being overrated, and how do you say that it is?

    1) Big Ten is appropriately rated. What the fuck anyway.
    2) The Big Ten is represented in the Final Four along with the Pac-10, SEC, and Big East. Where are you "underrated" conferences?
    3) You're stupid

    Tubby has not lived up to expectations as of late, although he was great in his first couple of seasons in Kentucky, the magic had worn off, and he wasn't getting top talent anymore.
