The Big Blue angst has been glorious to imbibe the past few weeks as their world crumbles to ruin. And it looks like these glorious conditions will persist for several more weeks, fingers crossed.

But that angst has turned to unbridled disgust as their hoops team looks absolutely horrific.

The mob is at the gates with pitch forks and torches screaming for the scalp of one Mark Pope.

Will the mob succeed?
Will Mark Pope survive the season?
Or is he dead man walkin'?

(Or do you care at all?)

I would be surprised if they let him go this year. He made a run to the Sweet Sixteen last year. UK needs to look at the Penn State situation before they fire Pope.

Good questions all PG. Down this way, while I can assure you that none of the UK fans are happy, 1/2 app. are stating give him a chance. I found it odd that a couple are saying I told you so concerning Calipari. One of our neighbors is a big committee booster. He says that UoL and a couple of their conference foes have spent 1/3 of what UK has. Said that they've spent over $20M on this year's team! Wow if that's true and he better turn it around by year's end. imo

$ 22 million to be exact and that came right from the mouth of Matt Jones.

Good Gosh! I suppose that I'm either getting old or not paying enough attention. I can tell you, these actions are going to kill athletics as we know them. Actually, not sustainable for the middle and lower end type schools for sure. Sad! Thanks Red.

I think they have internal issues. That's what can happen when you buy a new roster every year. Also there could be jealousy that some people got paid more than others. As bad as I hate UuuumK, its hard not to overlook their injury situation. Not that I care about their failures..

Reload? $22M on a roster isn’t that? I don’t think the guy can evaluate talent if this is his shot with the most money in basketball.

Hasn’t been a good year and just like someone said earlier in this thread, sometimes the chemistry doesn’t work out. We are still Kentucky and even with a loss —— it’s 40-18. Unless y’all can win 22 consecutive games against big brother, we still wear the badge around town though.

Yeah, don’t blame you. I’d probably try to pretend the past doesn’t exist if I were a L1C4* fan (or is it L1C3 now?). That 40-18 probably hurts in the feel feels. Good luck with that Kelsey being king of the state. LOL.

If UK can get Quantaince healthy, I have to think he will make a big difference. Kelsey wanted him for a reason - he will impact the game every bit as much as Fru has done for us.

He will for sure help them on defense as he is an elite rim protector. But I think UK will lose at least 8-10 more games this seasons
St. Johns
@Alabama
@Tennessee
@Vandy
@Florida
@Auburn

Also have home games vs. Florida, UT and Texas
