Thinking I could recycle my ‘we love tubbs’ shirt with bringing Tubby Smith to Auburn for Men’s Basketball. Recent news says I should go purchase a Barbee shirt.
WELCOME TO THE PLAINS TONY BARBEE
“TONY THE TIGER!” (probably trade marked but I can dig it)
AUBURN, Ala. — Tony Barbee, a longtime protege of Kentucky coach John Calipari, will now have a chance to match up against his mentor in the SEC.
Auburn hired Barbee as its head basketball coach Wednesday night. The 38-year-old Barbee has spent the last four years at the University of Texas-El Paso, where he’s gone 82-52 and was the 2010 Conference USA Coach of the Year.
“We have challenges in front of us, but we also have great opportunities with everything Auburn has to offer — a great university, outstanding community, tremendous fan support, and a terrific new arena and practice facility,” Barbee said in a press release. “The time is now to take Auburn basketball to new heights.”

Whether you’re pulling double-agent duty or simply trying to keep the identity of your “hoes in different area codes” away from prying eyes, Secret Contacts ($2) can help. Masquerading as an innocuous tip calculator on your iPhone’s home screen, this little black book shows its true colors when you enter a secret bill amount into the calculator. Just make sure your significant other isn’t an Uncrate reader, in which case this won’t be nearly as sneaky as you think.
Move over, Wii. The PlayStation Move ($TBA) is bringing motion-based gaming to the PS3, in full 1080p glory. The system will use a main motion controller, a “sub-controller,” like a more advanced version of the Wii’s nunchuk, and the Playstation Eye camera to offer precise detection of movement, angle, and absolute position in 3D space, which should make for some really competitive games of Virtua Tennis. As for the weird ball thing on the end of the main controller, it helps with motion tracking, lights up in different colors to notify you of stuff, and is made from some soft/squishy rubber material, which will hopefully result in less idiots chucking their controllers through the front of their flat screens.
In a few months, Tecmo Bowl Throwback ($TBA) will let you relive your gridiron glory days of the late 80′s. Available as a download this spring on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, the old school omnipotent features online multiplayer (find your old nemesis on Facebook and finally beat his ass), customizable teams and rosters, and the ability to switch between 2D (8 bit-style) or 3D (shown above) views. The only downside is they don’t have an NFL license, so you’ll have to put in player names yourself. The upside is you can now have Bo Jackson versus Chris Johnson, Montana versus Brees, and one hell of a drunken, tackle-breaking weekend when your better half goes to that Zumba conference in June.
