Dude you might be the worst poster on the history of this board. If you could actually read, I was stating the things that would have to happen for Pope to not get a third year. But you can’t get your head out of your *** long enough to have any reading comprehension.
If the conditions you laid out happen, I will still bet you $1K that he comes back. Thats calling you out on YOUR bullcrap. Easy enough to prove, screenshot of a venmo for the whole board to see. Waiting....

Why would a UK fan not be a Pope pumper? Y’all are some of the weirdest fans who have ever existed. I thought yall just lied on your own team, it’s clear that a lot of you actively cheer against your own team too.
Just the ones that never wanted Pope and would rather an avatar be right than UK win. Petty a-holes, basically.

Its only the middle of his second year. He beat plenty of top 10 teams his first year.

Why would you not be glad to win a game you were expected to lose especially a top 25 team on their court. Sorry that was an incredibly stupid post.
I’m glad we won but we’re Kentucky. We have become so low that we expect lose games now. Your above comments as well as others are the reason our expectations are low now. You must enjoy mediocrity

Good grief it's sad to look at the state of Kentucky Basketball at this point. Pope was clearly not the correct hire from the beginning. He didnt even really accomplish anything at BYU, and now look at BYU since he left. It's funny how BYU can suddenly recruit now. Arkansas is now in a much better position than we are, with no hope in sight for us to return to the glory days. Pope is clearly out of his league. It says a lot when fans don't even care to tune in to watch the games. Of course it's not all on Pope, as Barnhart is the one that panicked on the hire and completely fumbled the assignment. There were so many other options we could have pursued, but he went the homer route. What now? Where do we go from here? I think it starts with cleaning house, from the top down.
It’s on you idiot.

I don't enjoy mediocrity. You obviously enjoy being a pessimistic person. I'm not. I am enjoying the way. This team is fighting to turn the season around. Yes we are Kentucky. We have been over 100 years with ups and down to that whole time but we've always persevered. Pope didn't bring this program down it was most recently dragged down by Cal. last year was the first bright spot we had in five years and I agree it's not to the pinnacle we were at, but we've always shown we'll get back to it.

Don't worry about smug-aholes that hate seeing other people have fun. They aren't worth it.

If sports message boards could get rid of one fiction, it’s the trite cliche that those who oppose your hot take about a coach are people who accept mediocrity. Geez, that will be one good thing about dying. No more prideful cliche strawman arguments. 😝

Never forget, supporting the coach of your school is a bad thing that makes you a pumper and a troll to the pathetic raftards. Be a follower and fit with the group, disparage everything UK and even make up lies if you have to.

What a joke you bandwagon frauds are.
Possibly the most accurate post I've ever read. There ARE good Anon's in this world. ✅

I want Pope to succeed while hes coaching here but make no mistake hes not a good coach or even near UK level hes just not. Tubby was better than Pope and Tubby was extremely overrated as a coach. I wish he was good hes a great guy and a UK guy but hes not. Maybe yall see something I just dont bit I dont see a breakthrough of us getting back to being a powerhouse while Pope is here.

Is that your analysis Bro? That Pope just can't coach at all? Because I think its Hogwash. The guy put together a roster that is a little mismatched. They then suffered several key injuries. All that considered, he is doing a heck of a job. He is gonna be here a long time my guy, at least 5 years IMO. Wait and see

It’s my analysis as well. We might sneak into the tournament this year as a 7-9 seed and not sure how next year will turn out to be much better. We are quickly losing status as a top notch program and these substandard seasons aren’t helping us in that regard. I had hope that Pope would be the guy, I really thought he would be, but he’s not, no matter how much I wish he were, he’s just not. He is going to be a worse version of Tubby Smith (L.O.D. Poster was spot on), god help us if he stays as long as smith did.

Pretty much. Pope can’t recruit. That’s my biggest issue. The program has slipped big time in just 6 seasons. Guys were running around naked after beating St. john’s and Indiana. It’s almost surreal to watch. This season so far, has been a total failure and bust.

If this is consensus of UK fans then things are worse than I thought for future. Im certain all SEC rival, UL, Duke, Kansas, UNC fans whole heartily agree with you though.

Yikes, just not sure how fans can pump this guy up. Yes, they win 5 in a row but never looked good doing it.
