Yes, we will always be Kentucky. But in this century UK has one national championship and Florida has three. Our Cats have work to do to catch up with a team that only wins by catching lightning in a bottle and then comes back down to earth.

I would like for my Cats to catch something in our bottle.

I seriously doubt the SEC coaches underestimate Todd Golden as much as we UK fans do. If he stays at Florida this will not be his only championship team.

Todd Golden is not a John Calipari. He can coach.
Great point. One could even argue that anything outside of 25 years isn't even relevant at all when it comes to currently who are the top programs.

Our 98 squad won the title.
They were the champs, but best team?
Yea. I don't know how anyone who's a fan of college basketball (not just a casual), would think the champ is always the best team. I would say a good portion of the time they are not.

First of all how is this guy not in trouble for stalking students and sending wee wee pics to girls?
Dude is a creepo and I really don’t like his comments about Aberdeen. First he gets boogie fland from Arkansas then complains about Kentucky in his words took advantage of the situation and got him to transfer. Also said he hates seeing him in Kentucky blue and he’s gonna have to face a Florida crowd when they play in which they’ll be prepared for him. Good luck Mr chomo!

Maybe I am wrong but I thought it came out that the entire story was made up.

ralph dalton fan pointed him out to us a few years back btw. said keep an eye on him hes a rising star.

i personally liked the guy that went to drake. I think he’s going to be a problem eventually as he’s going to get a really good offer soon. my guess is Kansas nabs him. The level of success he had at D2 has been seldom duplicated.

I’m still on the fence on Pope. I gotta see a dominant season. 4-6 losses. 1 seed. SEC titles. He’s gotta prove to me he can do that at this level before i’m going to go crazy. He had a pretty good first year considering. Better than what was expected. But he’s still got a ton to prove.

Honestly my prediction is he gets us a final four sooner than later but never wins a title.
Speaking of Ralphdaltonfan. Is he posting on this site now?

That is certainly the feeling of most. The attorney was Karen Truszkowski who practices law in Michigan with an office in Tampa. . She specializes in LGBT issues and Title IX.

The women were "anonymous" and were not UF students.


Golden's Attorney is William Shepherd

William N. Shepherd

William Shepherd, released a statement after the investigation was closed:

This investigation has found no evidence to support the allegations against Coach Golden. The University's conclusion proves that the complaint was meritless. Coach Golden and I have respected the process throughout while actively engaging with the University. However, there were many who did not respect the investigative process. Instead, they sought to target Coach Golden and drive their agenda and this investigation for their own self-interest. Some leaked confidential material to the media; falsely posed as a UF lawyer in an effort to intimidate; harassed UF students and parents to try to generate a false narrative; and harassed my client, his family, and his friends. Coach Golden appreciates the support he and his program have received from so many at the University and from around the country. Now that this is concluded, Coach can continue to focus on the basketball season and consider his legal options in the off season – but now it's time to move forward.

Golden is obviously a great coach. He also thinks highly of his penis. The problem is, you really shouldn’t text pictures of your penis to college girls. That’s, just bad judgment.

there is absolutely no proof that any of that happened. The article I read about it mentioned it being made up by pro-Palestine unhinged weirdos because Golden is Jewish, but I also don’t know if that’s true. However if he actually sent pics of his junk he’d be fired immediately there is no way to cover that up.

I was just joking around.

I tried to take a picture of my penis, , but couldn’t get him to smile.

Zero of those charges were proven or actually happened based on outside investigators. Someone could make those charges against Pope and we would know they were false but some schools would swear that they were true to try to hinder recruiting. As much as I dislike Florida and Golden, I would bet the charges were not real. Social media is a dangerous tool used way too often to bash someone. Think how dangerous AI is going to be for everyone.

He can coach and he’s a creep that did some creep level **** as a coach, used his position of power and just a creepy person.Che seems to be a damn good coach. We can separate the two and I still don’t want that kinda weirdo near uk.
No. Evidence at all made up bull crap by a bunch of Jewish haters college girls. This was an attack on Golden because of his ethnic background.

Shiw me where in this thread i Said he couldnt’t coach. I never even got close to saying it. Maybe read the thread next time before beating your chest. The Florida fan (you) contribution in this theead is hilarious. You won a natty and still nobody respects your school. Nice Billy Gillespie troll job. 🤡
Perhaps It was admiral troll job.🙄

Sounds like to me they just happened to notice that he was being a creepo. Then the millionaire coach paid them to make the story disappear

a man is smiling in a black and white photo with the words `` hey girl '' written on it .'' written on it .
Everyone naturally thinks Psycho with Anthony Perkins but Pretty Poison fits this scenario a little better.

With UCLA the NCAA let the worst cheating in history (at least until UNC) go on in their effort to expand the popularity of basketball westward.

Thread infested by Florida fans saying "look at me!" They win a championship and come to UK looking for affirmation. It's great to be the king.
And right on cue a FL fan named Jaxgator11b "liked" my post. LOL at Gaytor fans

I think Pope becomes a dominant college coach. Too smart. Too likeable. Unique style. Got the X & 0s. Fearless. Welcomes the challenges. He’s gonna win titles.

Learned under great teachers. Versatile and willing to adapt.

He gave teams fits last year with a quickly pieced together lineup that had crippling injuries.
I agree, his work ethic and personality combined with his exciting style will get us to a title sooner or later with the right breaks. I see a few final fours with Pope.

If this was really true he would be in jail or court by now.Not very hard to prove what he was accused of. Most people who do those type of perverted acts usually have a prior history of doing so ,he doesn't. It appears very strange that all of a sudden a successful coach and family man is accused of something that would ruin his entire life. Iam not guillable enough to believe a bunch of vendictive girls who have a immature agenda.

Youre right. It would be the first time a millionaire got out of something by throwing money at it

Didn’t find or chose not to find ?
It was a Title IX investigation and schools usually don't take those lightly. But most of his conduct was alleged to have taken place in direct messages on social media platforms. Those seem quite easy to find if they actually existed.

In no way am I suggesting Golden did or didn't do anything. But, Snapchat exists. Among other social media messaging platforms that auto delete photos and messages after they are viewed. (Nothing is ever really truly deleted, but much harder to access). A school internal investigation is not going to have the power to convince these social platforms to give them access to see said messages or photos from their archive servers. The police, FBI, Interpol are the types of people that would have to be investigating this to convince those platforms to give access to the archival data. We had a coach locally who used Snap-chat to flirt, harass, and even hook up with his underage team members. The school couldn't prove anything and he continued teaching and coaching, and the girls were too scared of retaliation and shaming to file an actual police report because he was important, respected and well off financially. Once a brave sole actually did file a police report, the police were able to access the snap-chat servers and found a treasure trove and put him in prison. Again, not saying Golden did or didn't do anything. But a school investigation into social media messages is doomed from the start to be able to provide burden of proof.
