(Lexington) In the wake of Kentucky's 72-61 road loss to Alabama, sources from within the University of Kentucky Athletic Department have revealed that head coach Orlando "Tubby" Smith has been moved to an undisclosed underground location to "protect his personal safety." At right, you'll see "The Tub" in transit to the bunker wearing his riot gear, which includes camouflage, a kevlar vest, and sweat repellent.

For the Wildcat Faithful, losing one game is a forgivable sin. Lose two and the moving vans show up. But three in a row? Five of the last eight? Still no wins over a ranked team all year?

Unbelievable (but real) stat warning: Kentucky is 2-13 against the last 15 ranked teams they've played.

Ouch. That's enough to ignite the Big Blue Mob.

"The bunker is the safest place for him now," confirmed the anonymous University spokesperson.
