King Tubby

RandBall posted an image of a King Tubby/The Upsetter record cover in homage to the Gophers hiring Tubby Smith to be their hoops coach.

Now I can't wait until next fall's hoops season so that I can call Smith "King Tubby." In fact, I was oddly rather gleeful about this today. Typical how my mind works:

I'm excited about using a nickname stolen from an artist whose music I'm not that familiar with in reference to a coach of a team I don't cheer for in a sport I don't care about (except come office pool time.)

Anyway, a friend says that King Tubby was "great" and made "weed music." He said he would burn me some. I think he meant CDs.
