...... that may have been the worst first half of basketball I have ever seen which made the second half so incredible! Clutch three point shots much better defense, and they never ever gave up! Some of you hate Pope more than you love the Cats and honestly that's just sad because you can't enjoy an ending like this. Go Cats!!!!

You are a delusional moron. No one hates Pope. They dislike losing in such a horrible fashion. Even you just said that was the worst half you have ever seen all for the low price of 22 million dollars.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think anyone hates Pope. I think most just acknowledge that he's in over his head at UK. Everyone wanted this to work, but it simply hasn't so far. More than anything, people loathe Mitch Barnhart for the hire.

Having said that, the ending tonight was fantastic. Maybe it'll build some momentum going forward.

People like you get more excitement out of logging in after a win to divide the place and insulting others that don’t agree with your views verses enjoying the win. What a pos you are.

I'm pretty much with you, KYFOSSIL.

Overall, this season has sucked. A big part of this game sucked as well.

Instead of dwelling on that, I'm going to enjoy that second half where a determined team played great ball in a hostile arena.

Sure, we've still got major problems, but that second half was fun!

Funny how you log in to insult others but then cry when you get your little feelings hurt. My bad if you’re only like 8 years old or something, don’t cry.

Read my post again I didn't call anybody name that even insult him just stated the fact when people wish that we would've lost the game so Pope would be gone. There are several posts like that.. you're the one that broke out. Call me a moron and a POS so like I said tough guy if you wanna p.m. and we can get together and talk about it let me know.

A few things. First, it’s not smart to tell someone to PM you and meet up in a manner like that. You don’t know him, for all you know that guy will end you in 3 seconds. So he’s not acting like the tough guy here sir. Crap like that gets people’s *** handed to them quickly. You’re fairly old right? For example I’m in my prime, fought for 10 years and carry/ have takedown’s in my truck the works. I can defend myself just fine, but I wouldn’t even think to tell a stranger to PM and meet up like that. You need to sit down and chill out. That’s for your own good. Hot heads get bit all the time, usually happens in road rage incidents.

Second, people are angry they don’t hate Pope. I would never hate Pope. He’s got to go, he didn’t win that game at all, a lucky incident happened to one of the worst SEC teams there is and this isn’t how Kentucky operates. We are a blue blood, we need to hold to standards or you will lose them.

Some people believe the longer we hold on to pope the worse it is for this program, so naturally they might at this point believe losses to get him out quicker are better. Mark is about to begin the gaslighting campaign to lower standards here and pretend wins like this are the measuring stick. Listen to his post game, he’s already doing it. So that’s a bad position to be in, he’s average on his best day and we must cut ties.

In the grand scheme, which is UK wins banners and plays in final fours, these wins mean nothing. He cannot recruit, what part of that are people not understanding? You retain him you lose the program. So let’s look big picture here and demand changes, regardless of these meaningless wins. I’m happy for Mark to breath a little but end of the day he has to go regardless. Kentucky’s coaches must make elite 8’s or better most years. If not they better be hitting it close. He cannot do that. So who cares the method or how? Who cares if some hold to that standard? Who cares what they think of mark? This is sinking fast and we need him out. That’s all that matters.

Enjoyed the ending immensely. Happy for pope (and the cats) to get the win. But I still hate pope as the coach as I know he doesn’t have it. I thought he would kill it here. I was wrong. I can be happy for the win but still unhappy for the direction of the program. We have had several worst halves of basketball this year. Why is that?

I don’t hate Pope. In fact, I really want him to succeed. I just don’t think he can get it done here.

Lets face it, we beat a bad LSU team with out their best player on a miracle shot. This team just isn’t good, and the recruiting for next year gives us nothing to look forward to.

Sounds like you got some small d$ck syndrome going on puffing your chest like that because I called you out on acting like a child thinking you are big and bad to talk down to others that are disgruntled. I don’t need to meet you to know your a pos but thanks for the hollow offer and don’t let that stop you from trying to be an internet warrior. But don’t think for a minute you are intimidating anyone behind a keyboard, that’s a joke. First you insult others then try to talk tough on the internet. Maybe next time just enjoy the win and stop trying to put others down directly or indirectly thinking your all that.

First of all, thank you for looking out for my well-being. That guy is a punk. He flat out attack me and I didn't say one word about him. He decided to take my generalized post. And took it personal.. and yes, there are people that absolutely hate Pope. They have said it read it but to also say I hope the team loses for any reason so they can move forward for another coach. I think it's pathetic.. I have said many times that I am not happy with the product. The team has been putting out. I have also said I think Pope should leave at the end of this year if it continues this way.. we still have a season to play. We should play it and we should support the team because honestly, it will not be a coaching change in the middle of this year.
I don’t hate Pope. In fact, I really want him to succeed. I just don’t think he can get it done here.

I agree with everything you said, but if you saw the post that came out after the effort this Team put in the second half and never gave up wishing that we would've lost. I think that's pathetic.

Whatever. You chose to attack me over a thread that I didn't direct against anyone person or call anybody names you decide to get personal talk trash.

I second the theory that nobody "hates" Pope. Some hate that he is our coach. Big difference, and also fairly obvious to most.
