Good lord. Bet you love Nebraska football too, huh?I am good with losing 10 every year as long as we at least make the sweet 16. That's a Hell of a lot better than a better regular season and 1st round loss in my book

So you’re definitely a troll.I am good with losing 10 every year as long as we at least make the sweet 16. That's a Hell of a lot better than a better regular season and 1st round loss in my book
Fans say things in the heat of the moment that they really don’t mean. You seem like a reasonable person. I was probably a bit harsh towards you.I never said they did not deserve criticism. My opinion is that one can do so with a little more respect instead of saying things like Pope sucks, for example. I remember when Kentucky fans were considered to be the classiest fans in the nation. I doubt that is true anymore.
Not preaching to anyone. Just expressing my opinion. My opinion is that the acrid criticism many here bestow upon our coaches and players would be best if it were a wee bit less hateful. I think we would be more attractive to players and prospective coaches if so. And saying "everybody does it" is not an excuse. That's the type of thing we said as children when we were caught doing something we shouldn't
So you had your mind made up before he was hired and now you are pouncing on the chance to dog him out after a couple of losses. And as far as lazy hire, most of the A list coaches we have approached over the years like Hurley and Donovan have told us to stick our money and job up our ***Deserve better than a lazy hire of a guy that would’ve never been given the job were he not a former UK player. Comment had nothing to do with what he’s done so far. Was completely based on his resume at the time of the hire. If you don’t think fans of arguably the most storied basketball program ever deserve better, cool. I do.

I had my mind made up that his resume wasn’t deserving of the job, yes. Surely that’s not a tough concept. That’s it. I said the same thing last year as well. When would you like me to discuss it? I’d say about the only time it’s not a worthy topic is if he’s consistently exceeding expectations.So you had your mind made up before he was hired and now you are pouncing on the chance to dog him out after a couple of losses.

Let him cook man. He proves my point without me having to say anything.
so ur willing to look like poo for the better part of 5 months and are okay with it if we win 2 games in march?I am good with losing 10 every year as long as we at least make the sweet 16. That's a Hell of a lot better than a better regular season and 1st round loss in my book
I may be a simpleton, but it sounds like he was saying what Pope did last year was better than what Cal was producing his last few years. Never did he say he didn’t want to do better than that, just that he’d take Pope’s first year over Cal’s last few.so ur willing to look like poo for the better part of 5 months and are okay with it if we win 2 games in march?
When did we look like poo? We are in the toughest conference in the country and he had a last second made up team lolso ur willing to look like poo for the better part of 5 months and are okay with it if we win 2 games in march?
WE had like what 13 losses last year = not goodWhen did we look like poo? We are in the toughest conference in the country and he had a last second made up team lol
And who is "we"? You are a Duke fan
Why does a guy named cornbreadmilk get an opinionHonestly do we need a guy called Ima alien telling us how we need to post?
The Cal cultWho wants Pope fired?
people that want success and excitement in the basketball programWho wants Pope fired?
Excellent post from an actual level minded fanI hated the hire. Thought he would fail, but only in the 10 loss Tubby style of failing. I didn’t think last season was a success. I didn’t think it was a failure either. I tend to look at the entire body of work and the process, and not the end result. I was able to acknowledge how impressive the good wins were, I was equally concerned about the number of non competitive losses. I was concerned about the number of recruiting misses this past offseason and the reliance on a meh PG from Pitt, Oweh, and BG. I’m currently concerned about the product on the court being non competitive in the games against decent competition. I’m concerned this will continue, this season will be a 12-14 loss clunker, and next year when the season ends in another S16 appearance and 8-10 losses, it will somehow be deemed a success. I feel vindication from none of this. What I feel is concern for this cycle to repeat itself for 5-8 seasons before an ugly divorce happens, all while the program is spun into mediocrity. I feel all of this because the current process (not results) and Popes previous bodies of work indicate this. And I hate every last bit of it.
You count Georgetown then you have to count blowing the doors off PurdueWE had like what 13 losses last year = not good
and weve been blown out thrice this year if you count georgetown
Go find another team to supportpeople that want success and excitement in the basketball program
are those expectations too much for your or something????Go find another team to support
He's NEVER here when things are good. Actually pretty sure it's a she and has multiple accounts. Nevertheless, when someone vanishes when things go well, you can't give them the time of day about anything.Why does a guy named cornbreadmilk get an opinion![]()
Look at his posts. He has relentlessly made fun of Pope but also knows he won't get fired, so he keeps asking that "who me" , smart allec type of question. Seems like the type of quack that would operate on the wrong arm.The Cal cult
Nobody said you can't criticize him, but MANY are saying stuff that's way over the top. You just don't want to see it or even worse, you like it.I guess Dan Issel and Mashburn also are trolls just waiting to go at Pope since they had some pretty brutally honest comments.
Kentucky has one of the highest paid rosters in college basketball if not the highest. We’ve played two teams that are good and they’ve manhandled UK. We watch Pope stand with his arms crossed as the other team goes on a 8-0 or 9-0 run. Then he’ll pout in the postgame about how he knows what this means and how devastated he is. It’s okay for people to criticize the coaching job this year because it has been Billy G level bad
That’s exactly what you are doing. You immediately paint any criticism as extremism.Nobody said you can't criticize him, but MANY are saying stuff that's way over the top. You just don't want to see it or even worse, you like it.
Careful what you wish for. Another decade from now Louisville might outnumber UK fans in the state of Kentucky if the bleeding from the two major programs doesn’t stop.Go find another team to support
