Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson on his ankle injury

[kyjeff1]

I'm providing irrefutable facts with data.

In fact, you've been one resulting to juvenile tactics if you go back and read your posts.

I am wanting a change so UK can be relevant and competitive again. That's only trolling to someone lacking understanding.

We all want a change. I'm all for Pope fixing his issues in year 3 and if he doesn't, I will be all for his dismissal
3 years is a fair amount of time to give someone in the portal era to win at a high level.

This account you are using is 4 days old pal. You are biding time until we lose and you can ditch this one as you'd sound dumb ragging on Pope when we are still alive, so you are hiding under a new acct.. Play dumb and play your game with someone else. Total clown act. Muted.

Pretty sure this is my fifth day.

It only sounds dumb to the people still slobbing Pope's little knob.

Why 3?

If the portal era allows for instant gratification, why does he need 3 years?

Hate to see the kid get hurt, but Iowa St will still be a formidable opponent with or without him.

 

[Ash Williams]

It very well may give Kentucky the opening It needs to pull off the upset, and they would in fact have an excuse.

But no one ever cared the Kentucky had injuries. Id glady take having to play Jefferson tomorrow if it means having healthy TyTy and Grady.. or having Alex Poythress.. or a healthy Jrob.

Derek Anderson
Allen Edwards
Keith Bogans
Nerlens Noel
Dale Brown
Willie Cauley-Stein
Reid Travis
Kerr Kriisa

History is littered with the bodies of our misfortune.

Well, for starters, Duke is the overall 1 seed. So they clearly had a lot of success throughout the season.

Almost losing is what we are resorting to now?

Removing the NPOY? We are comparing that to Lowe and JQ?

Isn't Duke w/o, Ngongba and foster? Lulz

They would’ve lost with a fair whistle. The stripes bailed them out yet again.

Anyone that is being fair, sees the injuries, they see the big wins last year, they see that he started with no players in April after Cal left and they see that even with 3 starters out, in the toughest conference in the country, he still pulled off some big wins, got to 23 wins and won a tournament game.

Pope has done nothing that deserves his termination.

As soon as JQ and Lowe were out and Pope still made the tournament, a 3rd year was set.

If he sucked last year, didn't win an NCAAT and sucked again this year, he would be done, but you can't fire Pope after this season given the circumstances.

This is simple common sense.

Doubt it.

A real fan wants what is best for the program. The best thing for our program is getting an adequate HC.

You're nothing more than a casual if you're good with the current status quo. So that tells me all I need to know about you.

Real fan?? You just signed up five days ago to start talking this ****! A real fan wants his team to win every single game they play, especially in the tournament. A real fan understands there will be seasons of adversity, but a great program like ours will always work through and rise above. Then there is whiney bitches like you.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

They have 2, and are still winning, no? Still the overall 1 seed? Still a favorite to win?


I think you gave it a good college try maybe.

So then, not most of his time at Utah, and BYU had won tournament games prior to Pope, right? And they have done it quickly after he left, correct? But never while he was there. They actually had worse records after his first year.

Also, funny fact about UVS. The year before he took over, they won the WAC, they won it again 2 years after he left and have won it 4 of the last 6 years. Pope never won it.

You should really go compare that to Hurleys record! You might quickly realize your statement was wrong.

Started with zero? A few posts back you were pounding your chest because he brought "2" with him.

I am not a troll. I am simply providing facts amd data you can’t refute which seems to be bothering you.

UTAH VALLEY, NOT UTAH! Utah Valley is a juggernaut.

 

[Woodrow24]

UTAH VALLEY, NOT UTAH! Utah Valley is a juggernaut.

Utah Valley since joining the WAC conference has had 3 out of 4 coaches win the conference and Popes the only one that didn’t. He plainly put UVS in his post. Lmao and here you are giving him an eye roll when you have no clue what you’re talking about.

 

[AMTGSLB]

Oh, right, right.

What big wins?

No players? You admitted earlier he brought 2 with him..right? Now none?

He wasn't allowed to try to keep former KY players. Jordan Burks was hellbent on going to UFC and Gtown over UK?

He wasn't allowed to try to get recruits to stay?

He wasn't allowed to recruit already committed players like Noah?

He wasn't allowed to bring more players with him?

He didn't have a full portal to recruit from?

Coaches all over the country dealt with the same issues Pope faced and they aren't whining.

23 wins? Wow!!!! That's so impressive!

OH MY GOODNESS...a tournament game, hole smokes!!! Get him a banner right now!

I mean, if we close our eyes and pretend he hasn't, then no, he hasn't.

Seems like a lot of lies and smoke and mirrors instead of common sense.

A real fan can be honest when things aren't working and demands accountability and change.

Your way is what casuals do, who simply hope for things to work out. Real fans aren't like that.

He plainly typed Utah in the beginning of his post. He typed UVS on down. Honestly, I didn’t read his entire post. Dude’s a troll that just created an account a few days ago. Here you are defending said troll. Lmao

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Lmao chunky wife. Watch your mouth dude. Don’t cross that personal line. Dumbass.

You’re buddies with the biggest one so you can’t say crap. Lmao thanks for the comedy. You stay butt hurt over pope. Your man crush is strong.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Oh, right, right.

Lmao you gonna prop duke up now, to further your agenda?!

 

[AMTGSLB]

Lmao chunky wife. Watch your mouth dude. Don’t cross that personal line. Dumbass.

You're the one who posted pictures of her chunky ***, not me.

And I can assure you, I'm not even remotely intimidated. Her melanomas were more threatening.

 

[AMTGSLB]

Oh, yes. Not agreeing with a bias is really propping them up.

I doubt duke wins it all, but they certainly aren't getting where they are due to the refs. They are a good team.

Wasn't Santa Clara using that same refs excuse against us yesterday? It's nothing more than excuse making.

 

[theKybluedude]

I’d argue hoping Kentucky loses games for any reason places you outside of what I’d consider a fan whatsoever. Normally, I’m pretty subdued about putting it this bluntly but I’ll fill you in on something since you are new here. This board has harped about how, just as you’re saying it, anyone who doesn’t want Pope immediately fired are not “real fans.” How about this? No, anyone who places their agenda above Kentucky winning are definitely not fans. I’m not backing down from that stance an inch, either. If you’re *thinking* about cheering for Kentucky losses because you don’t like the coach, you are by definition in my eyes absolutely NOT a Kentucky fan whatsoever. You might buy shirts, you might go to games, but you are a fan of yourself more than you are a fan of Kentucky basketball. Period.

Damn that’s good. Lots of so called UK fans have so much of their self worth tied up in UK bball. They voiced displeasure and can’t retract so they pull against the coach and therefore the team.
Truthfully the UK fanbase could use a purge and rebuild.

If you think duke doesn’t get preferential treatment then idk what to tell ya.

Bahahahahaha keep up with the personal insults. POS.

 

[AMTGSLB]

If you think duke doesn’t get preferential treatment then idk what to tell ya.

We do as well at times. We shot 21 to 13 free throws just yesterday. All high profile programs get favoritism from time to time. UK included. But that isn't why we won yesterday or why Duke won Thursday.

Just like now, Duke isn't beating TCU by 18 because the refs. They are simply better and playing as the better team.

I hate Duke and want them to lose asap, but lying to yourself isn't going to make them magically suck.

Thanks for the permission!

Lmao sure, bud. We get preferential treatment?! I’ve heard it all now.

BS! I’ve been watching UK for decades. We’ve never gotten preferential treatment. That’s an absurd statement at best.!

You're either lying or not watching.

Meh whatever. You’re no UK fan anyway. You’re not fooling anyone.

 

[AMTGSLB]

Meh whatever. You’re no UK fan anyway. You’re not fooling anyone.

Yes, I want UK to get a real coach and be good because I hate UK so much. That's some indisputable logic.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Any different then you and others whining about our "injured" players this year?

They will run us off the floor with or without Jefferson. Anyone thinking UK is advancing is setting themselves up for more disappointment.

It’s “than”. Tell me again, who’s “uneducated”?! Anyway, you’re NOT a UK fan. Not fooling anyone.

 

[AMTGSLB]

It’s “than”. Tell me again, who’s “uneducated”?! Anyway, you’re NOT a UK fan. Not fooling anyone.

OMG, a typo. You've won!!!!

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Ohh, it's too elementary not to get. Seems odd you would think otherwise.

Except, one is a 2nd team all American who has proven extreme value to his teams success.

We are without one guy who no one knew if he would play or not this year, and many even expected not. He certainly wasn't a game changer for AZ St., nor was he really even good at UK except for his first game back against St. John's. After that he was a non factor. We got way more than most expected out of Moreno and aside from blocks, he is likely better than JQ.

Another guy we are without is a small, weaker, ball dominant guard with a history as a horrible shooter and bad defender. We replaced him with a bigger, stronger and better shooting combo guard that was critical to winning a title with UF last year who is a decent defender.

We are no longer without Kam, but he wasn't exactly critical to us winning much most of the season.

Can those guys help? Maybe! Are they game changer or even in the same conversation with Jefferson? Hell no!

See...context matters.

In truth, we are likely better without Lowe and JQ playing major roles.

"Lottery pick" athletic freak that refuses to play?

Also, where is he currently a Lottery pick?


As long as Pope is HC, I will happily hope for whatever result gets him out of here the quickest. I want UK to be the gold standard of CBB again, like most real fans should, and we will never be that with Pope.

We are better without Lowe and JQ has to be the dumbest opinion I’ve ever read on this site. Lowe is better than JJ. JQ is better than BG. Pretty simple.

He’s NOT a UK fan. Pretty easy to see. Said in another thread that we get preferential treatment. Lmao all I needed to hear.
