Here is an interesting quote from Coach Tubby Smith from the CA:
Regarding the Big 12's decision not to expand, Smith said it's "a blessing in disguise" and “I think we’re a better fit somewhere else, in a better conference. That’s where we’re headed.”

yea.

“I think "we"’re

We is the part I like. It's great to know he is our coach. I never thought he would ever say "we" when talking about the Tigers. I hope this is his last job in college basketball and he retires here.

yea, why not. Great Tiger Thread! lol

I don't think I will believe anything about a new conference affiliation until I actually see the first football game we play within the new conference. Even then I may just have to see the second game to confirm that we are in the new conference.

same, and since I'm the average age of this board (purported to be 55), I am not sure I will live to see it.

We're a better fit somewhere else? Yeah probably true, but where? The AAC? I like our conference fine and agree it is darn close to being better than the B12 in major sports. Revenue-wise we are still light years apart.

Fixed it for you...

Well that's good news. I can't believe Tubby is getting us into the SEC and you guys were hating on him

Welcome to the spin zone

Except for the money I'm glad the BIG2 didn't take us in.
