I want to believe this will help but I'm not sure it will matter. Until this team plays with total effort they are going to continue to struggle.

I fully expect Pope to pull off the win and get his season record (and UK record) back to "six-seven" (67%).

He's the king of six-seven. He won 67% of his games last year, and a win tonight puts him at 67% this year.

He's super cool like that.
I can imagine there’ll be plenty of fans jumping back on the bandwagon if Kentucky beats Missouri tonight. He’ll do just well enough to keep his job but not bad enough to get fired, keeping us in mediocrity as long as possible.

Another year? How about 2 years? 3 could be a possibility! Just keep us in the hunt for a tournament bid and top brass and many a Kentucky fans will be fat and happy with a tournament appearance every other year! Those are good results for a lower-tier power conference team like Kentucky!

$5MM for 67%. $5MM for 85%. Pays the same for low T

So would you prefer a loss? Man at least game day support the team because if you cant do that why bother.

Problem is for every win we end up back at square one with fans with goldfish memories pretending things are perfectly fine again only to be up in arms over our next blowout loss.

Do I want to win? Absolutely! I’ll be watching and rooting for them. But I know that for every decent win we end up with a bad loss. The sad reality is this Missouri game probably means nothing if we win, especially if we lose the next game or the game after that. It’s hard to think a win against Missouri means we’re turning the corner. And that’s frustrating. Truth is I don’t know what to do. I’m getting tired of this.

Geez man! The game is scheduled and they have to play it so for right this moment after the game will either be 10 and 5 or 9 and 6. Since we cant change our past results I hope we win and move forward.
I agree. Was just making a joke my friend.

Next game of note is at UT. Winning the next 3 easy games isn't much of an accomplishment. It should be a given. And SC won at lsu by like 25 last night so that road game isn't difficult.

Why don’t you watch the game, and if we win and look good doing it have hope that we have something to build on? Some of you don’t seem to be satisfied with anything other than a pregame announcement that Pope has stepped down or been fired.

We should win, but Missouri just beat UF and they can hit the three. So we better bring some improvement.

Well to be fair it is an improvement having the ****** on each end of the thread. Vs. His usual Game chat thread nonsense.
What happened to
****** OFFICIAL GAME THREAD ***** ?????? I miss the old site and many of the good posters are either MIA or have changed their screen names.

Don't worry I will not be posting after this post Kentucky could win by 40 and some would be complaining about this player or that player . Why didn't Jalevic play why didn't they win by 50 instead of 40 etc.
