Serious enough to be a billion dollar industry. Serious enough to pay this dude $5M+ to put out that product they spent $20M+ on. I get what you're saying, but it brings a lot of people a lot of joy when it's good. I'm tired of hearing what a good/nice guy he is and how he was a national champion. What he is currently is a very meh coach and is a complete fraud. I don't care about any of the other stuff. Having this is worse than having someone that goes 5-25 one season. This is gonna end in another 24-12 type year. And then here we go again. When people see this dude for what he really IS (not what he was), then BBN will be back on the same page again.
I agree 1000 percent

Everyone has seen this photo, we’ve also heard him speak and one thing stands out to me: he doesn’t have the emotional maturity to be Kentucky’s coach. The man is already avoiding press conferences. It’s ridiculous.

Why is a 50-year-old man acting so emotional over a recruit? This is absurd. If a fan acted like this (and we’ve all seen it on here and on the internet) you’d tell them to grow up

Watching the video makes it worse for me. Pope acting like a child. Stokes might be immature but he played his as s off and best our as ses straight up. Shake his hand and congratulate him and quit acting like a child.

This is the most surprising part of all of this to me honestly is how seemingly fragile Pope’s ego is. The dumb fake outrage stupid press conference stuff from last year and now this. Stokes was laughing because Pope was a crybaby and actually made Stokes look like the bigger man in that exchange which is sad.

Spot on. It actually looked like Stokes was going to be chill about it until Pope was a big baby. That's when he laughed. What a giant pu$$y.

The Stokes stuff is bizarre. He keeps saying that he was a UL fan and hates KY......so why didn't he go to UL then? I'm sure they'd pay him. It's clear now that he punked pope and KY by visiting and negotiating an NIL deal. Pope looks like a chump since he made Stokes his top priority. Then he talks trash at him during the game and I have never seen that outside of layne K and ole miss. I get that Pope is a dork but damn man that's cold.

All that being said I think Stokes is a garbage human and I have my doubts that he even finishes the season for one reason or another. Self bent the knee to Peterson last year after all.
I have never wished injury on a player, but I sure wouldn't be sad to see that turd take a career-ending hit.
