YMCA blaring from the speakers... We are back in time.

 

[AIChatGPT]

No kidding.

This is like something from Ted Lasso.

It is insane.

This isn’t astroturfed either. This is about as grassroots as it gets.

 

[Century Cat]

Guys I’m legit about to cry

On tv, Pope got choked up in his interview, and so did I.

 

[cawoodsct]

I’m buying everyone who shows up to Pazzos tonight a drink

Breaking: Mony Mony is BACK

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Delay it more, just got into Ashland…

No audio on stream.

 

[pretzel__logic]

The feel of Kentucky basketball I had during childhood is back. I didn’t realize just what was missing during the Cal years and what exactly made me so disgruntled even before he fell off, but…it’s this. It’s 20k people showing up for a press conference. It’s HOPE. I am so excited for what’s ahead for the first time in…almost a decade. 🥹

 

[bradyjames_rivals]

Do we really not have a livestream with audio? Somebody help a brother out?

 

[Bonzo_Cat]

Cal was right about UK being the needle. He’s was wrong about why we are the needle.

He thought it was because of him…

….today’s display of passion by the faithful is the real reason.

[syrus12]

this is f*cking magical. I’m all in.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

So much F*** YES! right now, you guys!

 

[Teriecat]

The bus!! Yes! So awesome

 

[NW50]

given WS’s story about Brad with a hoodie pulled up at Whole Foods, it’s clear the Calipari family knew we were done with them.

After today, the whole basketball world knows we were done with them.

If has beens like Teague who were treated like gold by our fan base want to draw their line in the sand on team Cal, have a time, meanwhile I would welcome a John Wall ex player who loves UK and its fan base and has credibility with recruits to the coaching staff any day.

 

[MrKentucky]

I legit cried a little. It feels so magical to have this program back.

One of my first UK memories is attending the 96 championship ceremony. Chills.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Mitch dropping the Jefferson Starship.

 

[justa]

was the jersey supposed to be 24?

 

[august-west]

With a tear in my eye I finally feel like we have our program back.

This has been, and is going to be, one big middle finger to Cal and I can only hope that he realizes how we feel. I wish him the best but I hope he never wins ****. And that is the last time I will ever give one **** about that bum. I. CAINT. WAIT!!!!!

 

[UK_ENGR]

Shewee, sure glad I’m not watching this in a public place…

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

The amount of F YOU to Cal is magical.

 

[BernieSadori]

Taking digs and I love it!

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

Mark Pope to Cal:

 

[roguemocha]

I’ve got all the goosebumps gang. I don’t think I’d ever thought we’d see a beloved championship winning team captain take the reigns here…

 

[pretzel__logic]

The FUs to Cal from Mitch and Pope = Triple H and Stephanie McMahon running out the Paul Levesque Era at Wrestlemania in a direct FU to Vince. This is unreal. I would run through a damn wall for Pope right now.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

I mean he's destroying this. This is special. Preaching to the choir.

 

[catfan in loserville]

Mark Pope reads Gyero.

 

[UK_ENGR]

If he somehow flips Reed, the collective head of #BBN may actually explode in delirium…

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Reed needs to walk out in the Wildcat costume take the costume head off and announce he’s coming back. Would be BANANAS!!!

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Was on the treadmill when the players started getting off the bus. They played the old intro music (bulls intro) and I cranked it up to 8.5 for two miles. Also, it may have gotten a little misty seeing those old 90’s players all together.

Nice to have one of us leading us again. I’m sure some of the cal players didn’t appreciate some of the words but they’re big boys and they’ve been giving it.

 

[legalbeagle123]

If Layla Pope did in fact say "Who's in the House Tonight" then........

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

What a walk off grand slam. Just amazing.

Provided this stuff with the swim coach blows over, I will never say a bad word about Mitch Barnhart again. What an absolutely spectacular week for that guy!

 

[catlanta33]

Bonersoup of a start. What an awesome, charismatic dude. LFG!

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

Words can't do it justice. BBN is awake again. The program is back in the hands of the fans. This is special.

 

[pretzel__logic]

Pope crushed, obviously, but I was blown away at the energy and excitement Mitch had. I mean damn I didn’t know ol Top Button could seem genuinely JACK3D about anything. He nailed it too.

Damn, it’s a great day to be a Kentucky Wildcat.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Cotdamn I want this to work

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

I don't really care about the story; did my man Tiger Woods go from 45 to 58 years old since the last golf season?

 

[Century Cat]

Hope Cal caught some of this.

I also hope he enjoys his stint in the minors.

When he first arrived, he knew this program was not about him, then he lost his way.

Today was a good reminder of that.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Passion and PRIDE can go a long way. Especially with this particular fanbase. I think we all figured out what was broken. Now we have to trust MP to fix it.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

Pope could easily be governor of Kentucky some day. While still coaching UK and winning NC's.
