As hard as it is we need to hope for a complete implosion

If I were a “real fan” and apparently I get to make some wishes, wouldn’t I wish we win every game the rest of the season on the way to a national championship? I mean, wouldn’t Pope figuring it out and becoming the best coach on the planet be the better wish?

For a real fan I mean. I won’t expect you to know anything about that.
We really don’t want to win the SEC regular season and/or the SEC Tournament nor get to the Final Four this year because we could not fire CM!!!

He is getting booed at home now. When they got down early last Saturday the boos were noticeable. It’s just a matter of time (decent opponent) and they will boo him all the way to his Pope mobile.

Let's do this song and dance again. I'm a massive Kentucky basketball fan but now that we've won the last 2 games we really badly need to lose all the rest of them or else something bad will happen. Did I mention I'm the dumbest boy alive?

jury is still way out on Pope.

Recruiting is starting to worry me greatly. I have no doubt the man can coach Xs and Os.

Can he do so consistently? Can he motivate? Lots of ball left and still lots to prove in my book.

But a conf win is ALWAYS a good thing.

With football I knew 100% an implosion was needed. With basketball I think it’s probably needed but im only at 80-90% sure.

These two wins this week doesn’t just erase all the bad that’s happened both on the floor and with recruiting. Stoops got 2 fluke wins as well.

I’d be MUCH more willingly to forgive this year if recruiting wasn’t at an alltime low and next year didn’t look worse than this one. But it’s hard to see anyway this works out for Pope with recruiting like it is.

Another tough break for Mr. Huge Fan today. What a disastrous turn, UK basketball may never recover from these 5 straight SEC wins.
We haven’t lost a single game since four days before he started this dumb post. I bet the huge fan is BIG mad.

Of course we will never hear from him in this thread unless we lose, because he's a little ***** who spends all his time trashing Pope or the team in other threads instead.

I think Pope has issues teaching Defense and maybe even rebounding. But I am not sure how fair it is for him considering the injuries we have dealth with. Imagine if we had a healthy Robinson, Butler, Carr all year last year. And a Healthy JQ, Lowe, Williams this year from at least DEC on.

That said, I would love for him to give his defensive coaching and rebounding to another coach. I think he is good enough on offense and motivation for the rest.

Not sure how accurate ESPN is, but they showed us as #2 scoring defense in SEC.:confused:

And that is not counting today's low scoring game.
