Ky should have been fired up today playing the no. 1 team at our place, some injuries I know but no excuse some of this got to fall on Pope and his coach staff.
Pope is guilty of abandoning his team today.
- Thread starter BigBlueFanGA
- Start date
Michael Phelps younger idiot brother that can’t swim. Almost drowns whenever he gets in a pool.
Maybe you should have watched his pre-game speech. That would explain why we didn't. If Mark thinks beating some great teams once in awhile, and being calm on the sidelines, is going to get it done, then he's not as in tune with the fanbase and the program's expectations as I thought he was. Nice guys always finish last. Always.
UK fans are embarrassing. Let’s pile on Pope while knowing we have serious injury issues. Butler and Carr are OBVIOUSLY not 100% and Robinson is prob done.
At least wait another year or two to start your whining.

No. There are things that are not being done NOW that have little to do with injuries, why you can't see that is puzzling. The coaching staff is failing in some areas.
Only thing I will say that Pope screwed up today was not pulling
the starters & playing the bench
I would have gone down 50 just to prove a point
What does, “the good Mormon” act like?
Pope has gotten more out of the kids he has than Bruce would have gotten out of our kids. Bruce would have beaten the confidence out of our kids. Bruce is NOT an easy coach to play for. He will beat you down if you are not tough. I don't see a lot of tough kids on our team.
Previous years OP bitched that Cal would do nothing but scream and that tightened up the players. Now Pope is too easy on them.
Which one is it OP?

Pearls a slimy POS. Bye. Go to the Airport and cheer for then.
Remind me again, who were the returning players at UK when Pope took over in April? How stupid we must appear to complain as if this was team bursting at the seams with McDonald's AAs. Truthfully, we as UK BB fans want to win now and win big. That's not happening this year. Is that Popes fault? I think the prudent thing to do is don't expect TOO much TOO soon. Let him get some UK worthy talent and see what he does with it. Ranting and Raging against Pope makes us all look like morons. It's just stupid. JMO.
It’s amazing how some blame Pope for any loss but give credit to players that contribute to any win. It’s the Jimmy and Joes!
I can understand being frustrated by this loss, but some of you should be totally ashamed of yourselves. Should have some fan cards revoked today.
Lets freak out because we lost to the #1 team
With the team putting out a poor effort. Where was the heart? It’s not losing to the #1 team it’s the lack of fight.
Really absurd post. If you had any intellect you would be embarrassed, but you obviously don't.
The second paragraph is one I'll give you a 'like' for.
The first paragraph is really terrible for as good a poster as you.
Let’s be real, he had mere weeks to assemble a team from leftovers in the portal.Kinda makes sense on how soft the team is.. If ya coach soft? Well……
Bruce would have MADE our guys tough. Players tend to implement their coaches. We definitely would come out ready to play each game, and would be a lot more physical, and be much more fundamentally sound.
After today, I miss Cal so much.
Y’all see how he dismantled South Carolina today?
Oh wait….

I neither asked for nor require your agreement. It's my opinion and I'll stick with it.
This is MORE THAN reasonable!!!!
By year 3, he will have had 2 recruiting cycles to build HIS program with HIS players.
But for ANY UK fan to scrutinize Coach Pope for THIS team for all they have went through is CRAZY!!!!
He had 6 weeks to bring this team together!!! It's WILD how many GREAT teams they have beaten!!!! Jaxon Robinson was supposed to be our GO-TO-GUY and Lamont Butler was the LEADER for this group and BOTH have injuries that have SUPPRESSED the final product TREMENDOUSLY!!!!
I have confidence that even next season's team, with better luck on injuries, will be even BETTER than this team by a WHOLE LOT!!!
I agree to an extent but man be competitive at least. We all made it a thing for 10 loss Tubby and here we are very first season 10 loss Pope!
Don't take my post as disliking Pope. I love Pope but he doesn't walk on water and there is plenty of room for criticism.
I was pretty disappointed in the lack of adjustments offensively, we never did anything different when they kept pushing us 40ft from the goal. Give credit to Bruce and his staff, well prepared and played hard overall. I thought we should have posted Amari up more and not sure why chandler played over Noah in the 2nd half.
If you want future teams to be Auburn good, donate a lot more money to Club Blue or if you own a business try and contact the SEC to do sponsorships and get some decent officiating.
These kids were not prepared to play. The coach always has to answer for that
Tell me more about you being in the locker room. How'd you get access?
