Having a father who instilled in me to dislike the Minnesota Golden Gophers due to hostilities between the two states dating back to the 40s and 50s, it would displease him greatly to know his grandson is a fan of the basketball team. Colin only knows the Gophers as "Tubby's Team," and has gone on to name one of his toy puppies after the head Gopher basketball coach. When he sees the "M" on television, it isn't the Gophers, but "Tubby's Team."I've had neutral feelings for Smith, felt he had a bad deal in his parting from Kentucky and had always admired his coaching style. Recently the Minnesota Star Tribune came out with this story about how Smith has taken over the Gopher Basketball program and the direction he is taking it. After reading it, I think Colin's Granddaddy would be happy that his grandson is a fan of this basketball coach. Read more here.
