Tubby Rents

Since 2007, Tubby Smith has lived in Lexington, Ky., Minneapolis, Minn., Lubbock, Texas and, as of this week, Memphis, Tenn., which works out to a new address every 27 months on average.

Even in the transient world of high-level coaching, that’s a lot of U-Haul rentals, and Nebraska coach Tim Miles has jokes.

Because this happened on Twitter, where every action has an unequal and opposite over-reaction, Miles had explain to the unwashed masses that sometimes people say things they don’t really mean for the purpose of making others laugh, subverting formality or saying a boring thing in an amusing way.

These are known colloquially as “jokes.”

Since 2007, Miles has coached at North Dakota State, Colorado State and Nebraska an average of a new home every 36 months.
