You’ve been attacked a lot this year for sure then with our first half performances brother, you seem like a really good guy we will just have to disagree on Pope he’s in sooooo far over his head and it is obvious as hell imo
To the Pope-Pumpers
- Thread starter Farsight Clone
- Start date
This is why we've fallen. IDIOTS like this.
You get on here and call me a Kansas fan because I have eyes and can see Pope sucks. You're an idiot that knows nothing about basketball. Don't try to play the victim card now.
Check out my apologies thread. I really meant it. Also check it out for my first post. It actually came after a loss.
They're ready to be Indiana I guess =\
I apologize. I must have missed that one. All good. I checked it. Removed you from the OP. You're all good. We are welcome to disagree and that is okay. A lost commodity these days. Just as long as we don't call each other bad fans because of a disagreement.
Pope in his natural environment

@UKGrad24 I removed this guy from the OP. He legit apologized and made a mistake. No reason to attack him. I know you haven't, but just didn't want start anything else. It was my fault for not seeing that apology thread.
You just can't help yourself can you?
Man he was never my guy. He wears the blue so I try and defend him as long as he does. He's making it harder. I appreciate the fair comment
Can a fan hope that the coach will adapt and realize that his substitution patterns would get better. It actually had gotten better until tonight. But this loss is on him, can’t deny it.
Over my dead chair. I'll be Andy Dufresne and write an email a day if I have to. I buried my parents in UK gear because they loved this program so much. And that's why we say "It's just basketball" but damn it- it's bigger than sports. It unites people all across the Commonwealth from teachers, coal miners, bankers, bartenders, nurses, doctors, retirees, senior citizens, etc. And I'm tired of lowering standards to appease the masses.
We're still the WINNINGEST PROGRAM IN CBB HISTORY. That's supposed to be special. It's supposed to feel good.
Feh. I'm sick of watching this program die. Something HAS to give.
I defend him when I think the criticism is unfair. We had a terrible game and people deserve to be mad. But a lot of it is way over the top
I think the common thing that this board is most upset with Pope is the fact that he's consistently inconsistent. He has a 12 year coaching career pattern to prove it. It's how we lose. I bet you 5, that if this team had the heart of Pitino's first few years, this team would cheer them on. In addition to that, try to win games by changing stuff up. He still makes the exact same mistake she has all year. Bad sub patterns, not helping the team out with stopping the other teams momentum by calling a time out. Allowing analytics to make decisions for him. Lack of conditioning which leads to more injuries.
Man I’m gonna disagree. He’s a troll. He’s just trolling back and forth. Said he’s from California but decided to be a UK fan, name is trollish, comments were trollish, new comments are trollish.
Don’t let him get ya! He’s a troll.
Yeah, he is. If we beat Florida he will start 5 threads proclaiming Pope’s genius. If I am wrong- then he is a teenager.
Go back to when he was hired. Never wanted him. I started supporting him when he stated the gig
Uhhh???? Yes it was. We will probably play on Wednesday of the SECT. THAT IS TERRIBLE
Before he was hired...once he got the job he deserves a fair shot
Yeah sorry I’m in my 24 hour “fire the coach” phase that happens when we lose. I’ll be back to normal tomorrow but right now I’m not too happy with Pope. I thought he stunk today.
You don’t just support him- you defend him against fans with real issues. You like to argue, make claims, then can’t back them up.
So you're allowed to change your mind, but we are not allowed to change our mind when we disagree with you?
what these guys don’t understand is alot of us are rooting for Pope to succeed. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be happening. I don’t want UK in the gutter for the next 5 years when it’s obvious.
I’ll give the guy 1 more year but if he doesn’t produce a true contender he needs to go.

These threads are equally as cringe as the “Where’s the LOD?” after wins.
Some of y’all just have to run your mouths and being “right” is all you care about.

Pope needs to go now and the money needs to be paid by Mitch himself. If not, then whoever signed off on this hire, and Mitch; all the them need to get together and figure out how to pay it and then get out of the way. This was always going to fail from minute 1 and everyone knew it that did it. He wasn’t hired to win.
I can agree with a lot of that and I can understand the frustrations. But my thing is that we judge coaches by what they do in March and in the tournament. Pope gor us sweet 16 last year without Robinson. I believe we make an 8 if we have him. That is good as cal did with John wall and cousins. This year has been even worse for injuries. Imagine getting to play kam, Lowe, and JQ instead of the other 3 when the starters are gassed. I do agree with the strength and conditioning coach needing to be looked at. I think there is an extreme problem there. We can agree to disagree but I will still hold our hope we make a second weekend. Considering all the ups and down and injuries that would be a solid year. I want to get a 6 seed so we only have to playa 3 in the second round. Hopefully JQ and kam will be back and can make that upset happen. I just choose to not give up on pope and this team until the season is over
