We don't suck. We are down 3 kids who were predominantly starters when they played and the team is hanging in and played their best game of the season last night and you are pouting because your two year old whiney baby crying about the team getting blown out last night left egg on your face
We weren’t good even when those 3 played. And don’t act like one wasn’t already recruited injured and the other has only been out like 2 games not all season like you like to imply. No one is whining, I just find it laughable how you try and one up everyone on the board because they don’t bow down to pope like you do, it doesn’t make you a better fan than anyone.

The people on here not upset at the season already are those who didnt donate their hard earned money to the NIL that put this team together. just see how Pope's teams do when he doesnt have us willing to donate money to get role players galore again.

The same ones that hate me on here haven’t even spent half the money I have at UK. And I donate the bare minimum to NIL. Attend games and understand the game. Truth is a killer anywhere.

I don't bow down to Pope, he wasn't my choice for Head Coach. I just don't treat him unfairly, or worse, like **** like most of the board. You can pretend all you want to that the injuries don't matter. We would be AT LEAST 17-5 right now if Lowe and Williams are healthy all season. And on JQ, he did try and play. Daryn Peterson from Kansas has only played 11 games and is hurt again. Should they have not recruited him? Dip****

I don’t get this back and forth. Kentucky isn’t Kentucky, we’re winning and losing and winning and losing. We’re not consistent at all, nowhere near dominant. I’m glad to win this, as all are, because of Calipari. Common sense.

But gran scheme? Kentucky has had more / worse blowouts this season than all of our last 2 coaches have combined. The brand has been embarrassed and that’s not supposed to happen here.

So screw the back and forth. Mark as of right now has a huge problem here not only with the losses and embarrassing losses but some in the booster base also.

Keep winning but fix the messes and do it quicker Mark is going to be air mailed out of here by end of next season and it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks about it.

Thats complete bullcrap. I'm betting I contributed more than you did. That take is total nonsense. It has more to do with common decency and common sense and a realistic view of Pope, not lumping him in with the last 5 years of Cal. Grow up

Well, you're gonna get another one this year. The problem is, this season has been well below UK standards, but we've got a small segment of fans that want you to eat **** each time Kentucky shows up and wins.
Only the trolls like you need to eat **** because thats what you dish out to Pope, the players, and anyone who doesn't agree with you

Pretending people who disagree with you don't contribute to NIL the way you do. I am 57, been a Cats fan for over 50 years, have financially supported the basketball program for 25 years. So yeah, bullcrap
I didn’t say the ones that disagree. I said the ones that hate me. You seem like a real cats fan. Didn’t take it as you hate me. You never really came at me. You disagree with a ton I say and I never do anything but reply respectfully. I thought you was a good poster. You kind of give Pope the easy way out quite often but that’s ok.

Didn’t take you as one that hated me so I wasn’t talking about you. If you do hate me that’s still not the same as what you said in the reply.


I’m sure 95% disagree with my takes. I didn’t say those were the ones that don’t contribute. Just the ones that are hateful for no reason. Ones that don’t talk ball at all. They log in just to say something negative

One thing about this place…not everyone here has the same intentions unfortunately. You will often find that there are posters on both sides of the Pope support discussion that love the drama of being angry all the time.

Win a big game and while you’re celebrating, they’re complaining about late starts or talking bad about how a certain player performed because they hate the coach.

On the other hand, win a big game and while you’re celebrating, they’re attacking the people who weren’t as “loyal” as them or didn’t believe in the coach the same.

It’s best to just recognize these types for what they are — malcontents. Never happy, never intend to be. On the other hand, I also recognize there are literally trolls from other schools on here and these types kind of serve as pest control as well.

I don’t often agree with your positions on many things, but that’s the very reason we are here — I’d be very bored logging in to find everyone is a carbon copy of me with my own stances. Try not to let people get to you — just do you, man. I think some of us know you are well-meaning despite being a little rough around the edges like everyone else.

The MODS know you throw an ongoing petulant temper tantrum but let a lot of it go and wait until you get tired, go suck your thumb and take a nap.

Ignored, again. smh

The game tonight is what Pope has always been. At BYU he would upset Kansas and then lose a game against a dog crap team. We were inconsistent last year and the same this year. It was a big win tonight but we should be use to this. Remember beating Duke and Gonzaga and then completely not showing up against Ohio State.
What's that sound? I think Ohio St just hit another shot lol. Good lord I remember that game in MSG, Thornton couldn't miss a shot, hell, seemed like every one of them went in & we couldn't hit the ocean with a semi truck lol. Even Aaron Bradshaw hit everything.

Yeah, you definitely just made that up. I've said Pope won't work here. I never bash the dude, or the players. I'll take **** that never happened, for 1000, Alex.

Kam Williams has been healthy all season, when Lowe played we got blown out by Gonzaga and most of the game against Louisville still, oh and lost to Missouri at home when all 3 played, this team has serious issues and it starts with pope, sorry you can’t see that. I won’t be classless like you and end by name calling

Speaking of Tom Crean, he beat Cal with less talent multiple times. We all criticized Cal because he never had shooters and couldn’t coach. Now people are crowing Pope as god for beating Cal. I just can’t with the Irony.
Pope has a lot to work on but last night's win was sweet, now Arkansas fans can or should see what we've been saying about Cal all along, he doesn't make adjustments & loses games he shouldn't when he clearly has the better team.

The discussion is about point guards and why we only had one on the roster. Aberdeen is not a point guard. Again another miserable fail on your part. No matter what you want to keep coming back with we had one and only one point guard on the team. What was that again about know nothings? 🤔

He’s a combo guard and capable of playing both positions and has played both at Florida and here. What are you even talking about right now??? 🤣🤣🤣 This can’t be real… 😭😭😭

Imagine having a real point guard and allowing one of our best players to play his natural position.

Just because we glued it together and he fills in nicely doesn’t mean it’s ok. Pope do better. This is two years we haven’t have a true point guard.

Thanks Aberdeen for doing a damn good job. Would have been nice seeing you in your natural position.

He has no idea what he's talking about most of the time yet he talks down to people very aggresively. It was hard to watch, so i dont anymore.

We are one game removed from getting our *** handed to us by a team that had lost 3 of 4. Even though I thought we would lose by a gazillion tonight, watching us beat a cal coached team wasn’t surprising as I have watched many cal coached teams lose games they had no business losing. Happy for the team and mark to get the win but we have to start seeing some consistency in this level of play before we can say mark is the man. We haven’t seen that yet or even close.
We have one 5of 6 with and 3?out of 4 of those wins SEC Road wins including 15th ranked hogs. We are one and a half games out of 1st in SEC. Yes the blow outs are disgusting but they count as just a loss whether its 25 pts or one point. This team has shown tremendous grit and resilience without their starting point guard, key 3 point shooter and the inside presence of JQ.

5 of those wins are against teams with a combined 22 wins.
