To the Pope-Pumpers

[bleedsblue5]

The toughest part here is we all like him as a person, but he just does not have a killer instinct to coach here. We play soft, stand up straight, lazy defense.
Players are at this age are still basically kids, if you don't make them work then they will probably take an easy path. These guys look like any playground basketball kid, they just want the ball to shoot and Pope never yells at them.

Here's a PSA with an update on that Monday Nitro guy:

In some back-and-forth DMs he finally confessed to me he's a huge wrestling fan and is a troll.

I thought it was strange his name is "Monday Nitro" but yet he claims he hasn't watched wrestling since the 90s and doesn't really know much about it. That'd be like someone naming themselves "TonyHawkFanBoy" on here and then acting like they haven't followed skating for the last 30 years and don't really know anything about skating at all.

He then said he didn't even know who the Nasty Boys were. So this guy watched wrestling in the 90s but had never heard of the Nasty Boys? Those dudes were huge in the 90s. That makes no sense at all.

But the kicker was when he later he made some post referencing an "Elimination Chamber" match. I looked it up and the first Elimination Chamber match was in 2002. Apparently this a match where they put as many dudes as possible inside a cage and let them roll around on each other for half an hour.

So I pressed him on his lies and he broke down and confessed he LOVES wrestling. His favorite move is something called "The Steiner Recliner" and he'd make his friends put him in it all the time. Apparently the move is that he would be laying down on his stomach while his friend would straddle him, put their hands under his chin, and then raise his head up underneath their balls.

So, the truth is out. He admitted that he even hates Pope but he hates the fans even more so that's why he enjoys trolling so much. Pretty sad.

We don't get to decide if he gets fired that is someone else's responsibility. I think what most people realize is that we don't have much hope with Pope. I don't see a possible way he can correct all his flaws because many of them are based upon who he is as a person and relating to kids. It just won't work and I don't want 10 years of Tubby type results and you can bet that is what we will get if he stays.

Remember, it’s not ip to you and nobody can accurately predict the future negatively or positively.

The bottom line is he’s getting a third year and all the conplaining in the world won’t change it.

And then you go and call a poster below “dumb” for having a different opinion than you.

Post screenshots or it didn’t happen.

By the way,
The dude doesn’t watch wrestling. I do. And I catch the strays everytime y’all do this and it’s BS. People are allowed to like pro wrestling.

He asked me to keep the specifics beyond the info above private. He also talked about some weird/bizarre stuff going back to his childhood that I don't think should be shared.

As a 64 year devoted, die hard UK fan, I cannot believe that I have become a member of the Legion of Doom and a real Debby Downer! Last night was the straw that broke this camel's back. I can no longer watch, listen, or read about this team/coach. I have been with the Cats through mostly great times and some heart-breaking ones. Since I was 13 I have been with all UK coaches: 'the man in the brown suit', Joe B, E Sutton, Ricky P, Tubby, Billy Clyde, CCC, and Pope. I have idolized all the players especially: King Cotton, Little Louie/Rupp's Runts, Sam B & the Big Dipper, Issel (the GOAT), Sky Walker, the Twin Towers, the Goose, King Rex, the Unforgettables, Antoine & the Blonde Bomber, AD (the Brow), the twins/KAT/Ullis, and Oscar! It won't be easy to stop being a "Pumper" but I cannot live this way!!! Some will call me a bad fan - I don't care. This season/coach has killed my spirit

I must ask what makes this team/coach in your eyes worse than Rupp’s 1967, Hall’s second season (.500), 1987, 1989 (Sutton’s 13-19 team), 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2021 (9-16) and 2023?

I always enjoy the perspective from older fans. My parents are both 80, both 1968 UK grads, season ticket holders for football and men’s basketball since the respective venues opened and season ticket holders for women’s basketball for the last 25 years. I was fortunate enough as a kid/teenager to see the 1996, 1997 and 1998 title games in person and attended every SEC Tournament from 1993-2000. I also had the misfortune of attending every UK/UT football game home and away from 1987-99. All losses.

I was talking to my dad after the game last night and asked him if this was the worst UK team he’s ever seen. He laughed and said “not even in the top 5, maybe top 10” and listed some of the teams I mentioned above. He said he hopes Pope works out but it’s not looking good before ranting about his real passions - how NIL and referees are ruining the college game.

I love pro wrestling and don’t care who knows it. I know it’s scripted. So are movies. I also like movies.

I don’t really like people who crap on things others like just because they dont like them too. I don’t like country music or romance novels, but don’t care if someone else does.

Completely agree. I also hate that it’s always some post about the Nasty Boys or something. Good pro wrestling exists. I’d love for these people to watch Kenny Omega vs Will Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom and tell me that isn’t two very impressive athletes.

 

[KFuqua]

What's your big picture. For me big picture is success on a game by game basis and in the tournament. We should be at the highest levels of performance and if not we need a change as soon as we come to the conclusion that we can't get to those levels. I have concluded that we are never going to reach Duke level with POPE. Time to change is now.

My big picture is to give our coach a full season with a full team and see how it goes. At this point, it's impossible to know if he can be successful or not. Your lame attempts at insulting anyone that does agree with your opinion shows us a lot.

 

[Skyhigh0324]

They aren't Kentucky fans. Just get off wagging their fingers in UK fans faces from their imaginary moral high horse. They take no joy in wins, just use them to bait and troll.

Idk man. RunninRichie has been on here since I've read this ish

43-23. Mark Pope is a good coach tho!!

Tell it like it is. We need "10 loss Tubby" back.

I have been here all night to every idiot like you who gloats to me when we lose and run us down when we win

Brother, I've been here all year and we have 11 losses! That is CONFIRMED.... Not great

RunninRichie isn't who I was referring to. And he knows that too, as he liked the post you're quoting about the names in the OP. I really do not understand where your post is coming from.

I've never DM'd you, but I did have to take a shower to get the stinch off after conversing with you once in this forum. You typing all of this and blatantly lying the whole time is sick stuff. The Frontrunner (Morgousky) used to always do the same thing on the Political board..... long-winded lies to try and make someone radioactive. You have a bad problem my little friend as this isn't real life and you are trying to make it real. Save yourself before it's too late. Watch this post get deleted and me banned because Morgousky has said multiple times that he's personal friends with a moderator and he makes sure anything tying him to The Frontrunner gets quickly wiped.

As someone who hasn't spent a lot of time posting on these boards, you have consistently posted the weirdest stuff, and it's never pro UK, only pro Pope. Good evening.

You guys are like little kids. If someone doesnt say “Pope suks”, you completely melt down and resort to trying to destroy them. Low IQ stuff.

It was all true.

And he just sent me another DM saying when he was washing the stench off in the shower he was actually thinking about washing me. And then he sent me a photo of him making out with a heavily used washcloth.

He has had 2 full seasons and can't recruit or coach even after spending 22M. It is not impossible when he has been doing this 12 years and getting similar results. So you should not have to be a mental giant to see he isn't the right guy.

If you are such high IQ explain to me the offense that Pope runs.

Your old account name (one of them) was Farsight and you are pepetually angry and crapping on everything. You NEVER stop. Nobody sane is going to engage with you since you are going to shoot it down and start toddler-level theads like this one. Don't ruin your teeth gritting them through year 3, at minimum.

All you do is insult people's character. You never question someone's ideas, just their person. This is why you have no argument and you actually have low IQ. Those who result to insult is a common dominator of low IQ. I asked you to prove your so called intelligence that you like to claim you have, but yet here you are, attacking someone's character. The reason why you can't do this is because you're disingenuous on every thread. This is why you were called out.

So when are you going to resurrect your old accounts? Cold Stout Beer, Here Heroes and Kwilt for 3?

Oh one more thing. You just engaged with me by responding to my post, so whose the idiot now?

 

[kfwa]

How can UK get a replacement coach that will want to come here knowing that JMI will undercut you in recruiting.

Anyone who says UK can get any coach they want isn't being realistic, if he can't generate NIL value, then he is going to build role playing teams

what is the issue with this years team? oh yea....

 

[Monday Nitro]

@UKCowboys
@Monday Nitro

How come you guys are not running your mouth now?

You're allowed to defend Pope, but calling out other fans for being frustrated with legitimate concerns about Pope as a coach, while calling us bad fans makes you look stupid. Most of us don't like you because we don't agree, you call us bad fans.

Yet none of you are no where to be found now?

But make threads when we barely beat bad teams? Classic.

Try to find some kind of happines. This life is a blast. It's a shame you can't enjoiy the ride. Get a dog or at least a blow up doll of Jerry Tipton.

[Monday Nitro]

I'm willing to give you a benefit of the doubt here. However, you did make a thread calling us out when hardly ever been around here. You show up randomly after we won. You're on here because of that thread. It's not a good look.

No trap here. I know exactly what I'm doing.

Me and other posters on here had to deal with those guys calling us bad fans, and then some new guy comes around and does the same.

Niobody gives a chit who you give the benefit of the doubt to as you arent a serious person.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Other than Pope not having such volatile substitutions. I wish a pumpers to tell me one offensive set or defensive adjustment Pope made to win this game. All I could see was two pick and rolls with Garrison and the players recognizing Mo had a mismatch and fed him in the post. Pope just clapped and said next play, next play. Our sets are terrible and our defense is worse.
