WILL STEIN COOKING

[I’m The Village Idiot]

It’s a sad day when people can convince themselves that shitting on fellow fans is somehow productive. We’re all frustrated. But how you handle life’s frustrations is the measure of a man.

I completely agree, man.

There’s a difference between the discussion about whether he SHOULD get a 3rd year and whether or not you entirely stop being involved at all if we lose. I’m not the judge of other fans — but to me that’s the very definition of being a bandwagon fan. By the way, I go back and forth all the time about Pope and a third year … do you know why? I’m actually trying to be honest about it. Most people have their set view and don’t let facts get in the way. You’re one of the ones I would say is very set in the pessimistic view and that’s not wrong. Others like UKCowboys are set in the optimistic view. There’s a huge pool of people somewhere in the middle where people are thinking this out everyday.

And by the way, Pope will almost certainly get a third year no matter what any posters want. Don’t believe me? Listen to Matt Jones everyday on the radio… he’s telling people this himself and he’s very, very close to the top boosters of the program. You’re setting yourself up for failure on this hellbent plot to remove Pope —- it’s not happening man. Why not try to enjoy what you can of the next 14 months?

no i'm not planning on boycotting or anything. just sucks going into another season where i don't expect a lot to be optimistic about

I have been feeling the same way…

But I have come to terms with something about myself….

A lot of it really is a choice. That was actually the point of the two songs that I posted yesterday. It was a very subtle message. Both of the extreme songs are me —- they aren’t rational. The feelings are based on facts, both of them — but both are distortions.

When things are going bad, I lose all hope in Mark Pope and I ignore everything in favor of him and I want anyone else in all creation.

When things are going good, I become extremely hopeful and get ahead of myself, ignoring everything that isn’t going well and he becomes the best thing in the world.

^ Neither of those are true. They are fan emotions. But we can choose to make the best out of the 14+ months we have with Pope or be miserable. I WANT to TRY not to be miserable — of course that is difficult.

Random question off topic, how do I get my avatar picture to not be sideways? I've tried everything with no luck.

JMI must have better contracts for the football players. Wonder why the hamstring Pope and green light Stein.

(Someone was gonna say it)

JMI is the bogeyman!!!

You know the offense will look good but what about the defense? Those are the only problems with offensive minded coaches to me ..

Not to long ago everyone was worried on here because most of his initial commits were all defensive guys lol. He's hit the portal hard for the defense including a stud linebacker.

But, you know, IU football did not do this by buying up high rated talent. And they reportedly don’t have that high of a football NIL budget.

Instead, nearly all their best players were really low rated prospects coming out of high school (many of whom started out at little mid majors because no big conference schools wanted them). In fact, if you go just by recruit rankings, UK should have far better football talent than IU.

I’m not sure what secret code Cignetti cracked, but it’s fascinating because it seems to prove that ANYBODY …even UK … can do the same thing with the right coach and level of commitment.

During the last game I think I heard the announcers say they really only play 13 guys consistently on defense? If so that is crazy and let's hire their strength and conditioning coach.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

If Coach would have played him they would have won state.

That's a funny movie.

I have no idea why Pope has not signed any high school recruit or if NIL is the issue, but it seems pretty strange that the football is doing a pretty good job of gathering good recruits from the portal. Could it be that football has a general manager handling this or is football and basketball NIL dealings different?

Bingo. Stein has the football program structured like a pro team and it really stands out with his results so far versus Pope's.In addition his track record as OC at Oregon and playoffs gives him plenty of street cred with the players .

I have drawn the same conclusions. Has a personal axe to grind with KSR and Stans hard for JMI. Seems to hate UK fans.

My guess is either Marc Maggard’s ignorant *** or an actual JMI employee who fights his company’s battles online outside of work hours.

No matter how many times you frauds lie, no matter how many times you deflect, athletes still don’t have to sign away their NIL rights, athletes can absolutely do independent 3 party deals, and athletes don’t have to get JMI approval for their independent deals.

thanks Dad

You’re my favorite child for sure.

 

[OleTiredBum]

so is it a free for all for the time being? or does on3 liberal yahoo still have a few leftovers?

 

[MegaBlue05]

Always lies. No one respects a pathetic liar.

BTW, despite the lies trash like you pushed for months, athletes at UK don’t have to sign their NIL rights away, athletes can absolutely sign 3rd party deals, and they don’t need JMI approval. You lied about that and Inwont sugarcoat it to make a liar feel better about himself.

I hope JMI is paying you well for riding their D this hard.

You, sir or ma’am, are strange.

I can tell you don’t have much of a life or many friends. You’re simping for a corporation on a message boards and think calling people dumb is going to prove your point.

I’d recommend taking the stick out of your *** and touching some grass. Maybe smoke a little to calm down.
