There ya go. And not just that Mitch has never wanted Kentucky basketball elite. It’s too much to deal with and it takes precedent all things he does not want. Look at his record let it speak.
Both correct. Don't forget that Mitch should be under investigation this summer due to the issue on the swim team I believe? If Mitch is really corrupt as it seems to be, maybe the judge can say your fine is 2million or jail. And the county can give back the 2million to the university lol
EwwTee did it with Schiano, A&M did it with Stoops. Why didn't BBN do anything when the news broke of Pope??
By “all” accounts?
My personal observations tells me that, like Pope, this administration is way in over their head when it comes to navigating the massive ship that is UK MCBB!
Seriously.
Davis fired; UNC saying standards matter. Hart running away. No recruits.
Potential yes man hire at player development.
it’s like we’ve now run the broken down Ferrari into a ditch and watching other programs drive by in Lambos. While Mitch calls a friend to pull us out instead of a professional tow truck.
Wtf is going on? Why are supposed leaders torching the gold standard to the ground?
Well said.
I bet you are a big fan of participation trophies.
We also had CM Newton, an AD that was worth something back then. He refused to let us become what Kentucky is becoming under the POS Mitch Barnhard.
I remember watching KSR post game during Cal’s last year here. It was either after the SEC tournament loss or the NCAA tournament upset loss. Anyway, behind the KSR guys the team was exiting the floor and you could see Barnfart walk by with a grin on his face. What kind of AD would even be able to grin after getting beat like that? The performance of the basketball team is not only a reflection of the coach but also of the AD also. It’s almost like he wanted men’s basketball to fail, or least come down a level.
Microwave mentality? Mitch?
Some just aren’t getting it yet because the gaslighting was extreme when he was hired and their dislike of Calipari makes them view his words with acceptance instead of his actions. They won’t hold him accountable until the last second.
I was just thinking about this. It is similar to the off-season before the 88-89 season (Sutton’s last). Kentucky graduated some good seniors, Chapman leaves for the pros (Due to him and Sutton not getting along),the Emory envelope story breaks, and Eric Manuel ACT cheating accusations. The cloud of all of this hung all summer and during the season. When the hammer fell after that season ended it was actually a relief because it was like starting over with a clean slate.
I still believe that's what we need. The problem is when you hand out ridiculous contracts.
Very simple.
UK didn’t have 3 big injuries. JQ was never healthy when recruited and some reports said might be out until February. It was basically January -February or not at all. Not to mention he’s likely sitting anyway which was always the plan it’s why he’s here and nobody else touches him. Absolutely cannot add him onto the injury situation. Pope shouldn’t have ever recruited him
Man, I wish all you guys were speaking up 10 years ago. This has been going on for a long time. There are warning signs when the guy slaps his name on the freaking new sports complex. It’s called narcissism. The 60 million he sent over to science department.
There's a troubling amount of pope people on here willing to go all in. Cornball nation lives apparently
You're cherry picking all the historic exceptions to the rule to try to validate Pope.

For every Golden and Hurley there are dozens of coaches who never “improve”. There can’t be hundreds of great coaches in college basketball otherwise the cream would never rise to the top. Kentucky is one of those programs that need a cream of the cropper to succeed.
Not trying to validate Popes coaching.
