Why would he leave Florida? Already has 1 Champ there, might be another one this year. Beautiful weather, beaches, and less taxes. Tradition isn't the pull it used to be. Even coaches know that. We need an AD that knows how to spot talent in the coaching ranks and find us the next Golden.
Heard the same about Calipari. Just came off dual 30 win seasons. Why come to UK. Fresh new NBA arena. Runner up just 2 years ago. He has it made at Memphis.

Sure enough I was cooking thinking Kentucky was up by 8 and it was looking like we might blow them up only to see we’re getting blown out? Jesus.

Beginning to think that's Mark Stoops in a Mark Pope costume at this point.

Our hope they miss defense was great Saturday and popette saw change. We may very well come back and win this game. But it's still the same ole same ole!

No preparation. No conditioning. No player development. Dumbass subbing. and the worst thing of all, they don't play hard. Being outworked yet again by a bad team.

You can give Pope an NBA roster and he would have them getting outworked in less than 2 weeks.

Pope is a horrible leader. I keep saying watch “The Journey“ videos and how they have dont show his locker room talks anymore because his talks suck.
I can't understand how a man who was TENACIOUS on defense in both college and the NBA now has no balls.

Home court advantage in college has jumped the shark. Not saying it’s why we’re getting beat but texas a&m holding the ball to set up their press after every basket is intentional. They likely are doing that because they’re at home and know they can get away with it.

That was pre-NIL too. Different times now. And we haven't done squat in 10 plus years.

Pull up Noah clank 3 and garrison shooting a 3 after feeling himself making 3 LAY UPS. Because our starters are soooo exhausted.
I don't understand Pope. Starters get too exhausted so let's lose the game in the first half so have to use more energy in the second half to overcome the huge deficit in the first half.

“His best game in over a month”

Well I saw that we were playing against a Pope coached team and figured what they hell I’ll use this as a spring board.

Why are our players exhausted? How are other teams able to play their guys 30-40 minutes but our guys get winded in less than 10?
