I’m not mad at Pope. He tried. He wants it as bad as us I assume. UKs problems are deeper. Forget Mitch. When’s the capaluto guy gonna go? The president guy. Yea sorry if that’s sounds disrespectful. They are disrespectful to our program

I’m not mad at Pope. I know he loves the program. I know he is doing his best. Unfortunately, I’m not sure his best is good enough. I’m not giving up. I still hope he turns this season around, but I’m 100% sure this team had a player or two that need to go. I’m not sure Pope is capable of leading the program. I hope he is, and I know he will try his best, so I’m not mad, but if he can’t handle it he will still need to go. It is what it is.

No matter how bad things look he gets the season and I will judge it when it is done. However, if it continues as it is now then he doesn’t deserve a third season. That sucks. It isn’t what I hoped for. But right now? A full season of…this? That’s not okay. Still, he gets the season before I give up.

Kentucky fans do not deserve, nor should we have to put up with mediocrity that we've been subjected to over the last several years now. Kentucky has thrown millions of dollars in contracts on the wrong coaching hires thanks to an incompetent AD. Now millions towards egotistical players who have no business wearing a Kentucky jersey.

Pope is in over his head and completely missed on this bunch in an era where building a successful roster can happen after one reason bringing in the right recruits and transfers. Barnhart is an incompetent AD, and he's been afforded too many opportunities at hiring head coaches for the basketball and football teams. You have to really try hard to screw up a rich tradition like Kentucky Basketball and so far, he has succeeded in doing this 3 times. Mitch should have been shitcanned after the Billy Gillispie stunt, and the horrific Joker Phillips contract.

Pope might want it badly, but he doesn’t show it.
And that confuses me also. Is he shy? Ik he’s competitive. Either way it doesn’t matter. Hot garbage. The lack of fire is the biggest thing with me. Above not getting top talent to sign. The lack of emotion. I just can’t stand sitting in the stands wishing I could play so bad and then seeing these guys just not care at all.

convince me otherwise these guys care. It’s pitiful. At this point Pope needs to just cover his own *** and tell BBN the truth. If there’s no behind the scenes scandal stuff between teammates then he needs to be honest and say he’s stinking it up. Ik he basically said it in coach talk but this is more serious than that. I wonder if resigning is a thought for him at the moment.

Why be mad .. Tonight's pounding was the best thing that could have happened. CMP will have to evaluate everything and that's a good thing. He knows the assignment and he's being forced to figure out what he has to do to accomplish it.

He'll have to demand more from his team and more from himself. It's good the wheels have completely come off the last two games. The ball is squarely in his court and we'll get to see if he's actually capable of handling the job of UK BB coach.

It's all about wanting to ... and I think we all know he wants to. Hopefully, he realizes that everything has to be questioned. This is not about analytics. This about evaluating every idea he has.

I’m mad that I believed in this team. I’m mad I never thought we’d be back to what we were before Cal got here. The program deserves better and I mean it with all disrespect to the powers that be.

This isn't for everybody and we can't hide you. Two absolutely spot on statements about UK basketball regardless what you think about him.

Maybe some caffienere will help. The greatest empire of the 18th and 19th centuries was built on tea making people work harder.
