Spot on. Cal lowered the expectations and now Pope is just hammering it home. You have people here excited and happy to be sitting at 17-8 and it’s absolutely pathetic. They also talk how next year will be Popes best yet and how great we will be while ignoring the fact that we won’t have a top 50 recruit for the first time in a quarter century.
I feel like im taking crazy pills. This fanbase has went totally Indiana. Clean cut Indiana boys, candy stripe pants, only 3.0 GPA players.
To be honest, beating Cal on his own turf was winning.... That seals the deal for me. Everything else is cake.
The only injury mismanagement involved is JQ. As an old retired doc (not ortho) I had little hope that a guy his size would play at all this year. With all the sports medicine now availailable and the expertise available to a high profile athlete and the staff I thought maybe they had shortened recovery time in the more than a decade since I retired. Alas, it appears they haven’t.
It's more than injury mismanagement, it's financial as well. Whatever money he got is a sunk cost, it could have and should have gone to someone who can help us.
Yep. Calipari lowered expectations intentionally. But I don’t think some of the old cal brigade, now Pope brigade, is all that bright to be honest. Certainly not their fault.
And yet the downhill gold medal went to 35 year old who last April broke calf, tibia, and tore ACL. Our 19 year olds cant heal.
There's a few who didn't like Cal. But because he wasn't one of us. And didn't respect our tradition or fanbase. So when Pope came in. They fell in love. Recruiting eastern KY boys, bringing back cool uniforms, etc etc. They don't care if he loses. He's just so precious and one of us. Go team go! Lower bowl of Rupp arena crowd.
Yes a lot of them are. There’s about 3 or 4 of the 5 or 6 that are not UK fans are committed trolls. Cowboy is not a UK fan, and there’s 2 more that appear not to be. Only a troll would want UK to keep steady with Pope and stay mid.
Was there someone else who we passed on for JQ though? Someone better than Garrison who would currently be getting minutes?
Wisconsin had the highest or 2nd highest rated offense of the Kenpom era in 2015. And had two top 25 NBA picks on that team. Let's not act like that team was trash. Who just got lucky.
This. Between the participation trophy sunshine pumpers , trolls and the Cal slurpers,this place is a circus of stupid anymore.
would you not expect that after this display?So now the expectations for Kentucky is to just beating Arkansas?
