Here is the thing. This guy, he is here to troll. He is not, nor never has been a fan. He gets his enjoyment out of everyone he engages with or can get a reaction from.

Now there are those on this board who are fans and dislike Pope. There are plenty. But this guy is not one.
Yup, he’s a troll and he’s currently getting owned by several people.
He’s not even a well prepared troll.

I believe it, I watched every minute he played, almost all of which were horrific in February and March. He was literally unplayable in the SEC and NCAA tournaments. If you don't believe me, go back and look at the game threads.
I'll take NBA level evaluations over some moron on an internet forum when it comes to evaluating players.

I'm honestly excited to watch the game. Given the weather, I'm skipping Friday night HS football and going to settle in and watch it. There are a ton of question marks on this years team. Feel like it could go really well or not so great given how good/not good those question marks are. Exhibitions are what they are, but it will be good to see those players play against another team. I'm always excited for basketball, and if for nothing else this will keep my mind occupied waiting for 6:30 tomorrow night in Norman!
Right on. High school Fall football is special for sure. I'm always excited for Kentucky basketball. The success we've had and the new direction for Kentucky football has me really jazzed this year. Can' wait for both games.

We are going to have several games where Momo dissappears just because they will key on him so hard. Other guys will have to step up.

I like Mcbrides energy so far, we just have to make shots. No excuses make em

Been outside with a nice fire 🔥 and the first real fall evening with the game blasting on the radio. From what I can tell from the play call is most of us are lucky it isn't televised because the pace and shot making have been high school ball at best. Might not even watch the replay of this.

I mean I can understand that this is the first exhibition game but damn if it doesn’t look like the same ol same ol. 69pts in a HOME GAME against effin Little Rock??? Braden Hawthorne looks completely undeveloped, we turn the ball over waaaayyy too much, the offense looks completely out of sync, and our defense is soft af. Idk guys, thank goodness for football!!! Never thought I’d have to say that.

I don't disagree, it feels like we are just out of shape. Ya momo is good, but none of us are intense on the defensive side. Pope won't be here next year, and I am not a Pope hater.

The 24/25 season gave us no return? That team played the toughest schedule in UK history, was riddled with injuries to starters, but still beat the eventual title winner in a great game, swept UT, beat UL, won at Gonzaga and beat a loaded FF duke team on a neutral.
They got a 3 seed and a sweet 16 while missing Robinson, a backup pg and playing with 2 hobbled players.
I know we have high standards, but given the circumstances of that season, it checked off most of the boxes and it was exciting.
Did you miss the quitting that season?

Did you know that team didn’t even show up in MSG and Bridgestone against Alabama?

The players on that team bailed out Pope many times. They had all been coached elsewhere.

Give it a rest. That team didn't quit. Welcome to sports, where sometimes you just get your *** beat. It doesn’t mean they quit. That team didn't have a single guy on it that had a quitters mentality.
But look at you, you quit a long time ago, because it's too hard for you to put energy into anything positive this staff has done. You're the quitter.
