The juggernaut that’s Vanderbilt is spanking Mark Pope all over the place …. Dude Mark should’ve just stayed at BYU. UK is just to big of job for him!
Who would hire him at this point? BYU is in a much better place now than under Pope. I can't imagine him ever having a meaningful head coaching position again. I actually feel bad for him in that scenario. Just when you think Barnhart can't screw something up any worse ... here we are. I hate it for Pope but this cannot be allowed to continue. It needs to end sooner than later.

Man this team is just infuriating. Five games to at least get us back up morale wise to do this.
Apathy has sit in with me to be honest these last 8-9 years have wore me so out. I still love my Cats but if I miss a game now it’s like oh well . I used to never ever be like that I could never miss a game my life revolved around UK!

Even @Monday Nitro knows this team is at best 16-5 with a completely healthy roster.

You don't add a loser point guard to a bunch of losers and suddenly have a winner.

Oweh has given up on pretty much anything in this game except for scoring points.

I am sorry I keep harping on it, but this guy has no real ability to make UK better. He’s all about himself, team be damned.

You think that honestly matters to most of those guys? People need to understand that the vast majority of players we have now/going forward are basically mercenaries. They don’t bleed blue like many of us. It will make their lack of caring much easier to understand if you just accept that simple fact.
While that’s probably true why does it only apply to our guys?

Vandy players are getting paid too. Yet they are out there playing their asses off

We just quit against Gonzaga. Their players get paid. They didn’t quit.

I’m embarrassed. That’s the message.
You know every program will have nights where they just don’t have it and get beat. But at the University of Kentucky …. There should never be a time where you get EMBARASSED!!! And we’ve done that how many times this year so far???

Can we bring the loss down to under a "respectable" -15 point loss to Vanderbilt?

That's where we are folks. This is legacy hell.

I see a lot of post blaming this on money. “The whole thing started looking like this when they started getting paid” I guess the Vandy players are just playing for the love of the game. This is on Pope, most blowout in UK history.

If this team had an 8-man rotation of Oweh's they'd be highly ranked. TF you people talking about. Oh wait. One dumb **** is the one who gave me a smartass comment and then deleted when they were wrong. I even gave his mouth breather *** a 2nd chance unignoring them. That's my bad.

I can't really get on most of our players because I don't think they are getting proper coaching. There are probably 20 other DI coaches out there that would have a better record with this same group.
