Did better how? Who did Tubny beat his first 2 years at UGA? I'll wait.
You think the strength of schedules were the same? Again, I'll wait.

Lol. Absolutely not a myth. Many people were very vocal about outright hoping for losses to get Pope out faster and some of the biggest posters on here were saying it too.
Probably cause I live in Louisville num nuts. Say what you want but it Seems to me mark pope is burning Kentucky to the ground!So you hang out with a lot of Louisville fans.
Interesting since your only posts seem to be denigrating our program.
This is where I’m at and I’m pretty sure most of BBN is at. Everyone in BBN wants to win every game but facts and numbers indicate next season will be as painful as this last one. Pope is in over his head. Giving him one more year just to give him three doesn’t make sense, either. We know we are going to be bad, but let’s just go ahead and give him a third anyways. Make it make sense. Why waste a season?
We all hope he doesn’t right? We all want him to succeed since that would help our program, wouldn’t we?
So, he has done nothing good here at UK? Nothing at all?
Who do you want him to be replaced by? Realistically, don't say Hurley, he isn't a realistic option. Neither is Golden and Oats already said no.

Lost to coach Cal? I saw him beat coach Cal this year.
More proof that all you see us what your miserable mind wants to see.
#immaturity
“Nobody wants him to fail” lol. You may not but there are multiple people on this board that do.
I found one of your problems ( of which you have many).
The enjoyment is in the denial that you are in. Numbers do not lie. Read them enough and you will be able to understand them.There you go parroting what I told you again. I was laughing at how inept you are at this. You spent most of your day defending a stupid and highly inaccurate comment made by someone else. Your goofy attempt at trying to be intimidating was a total fail so I was just making fun of the lame tactics you resorted to. I guess at least I didn't get under your skin enough to get the asterisks laden profanity this time.
Yeah, we (including myself) believed that Davis didn't have what it takes. It is a good example that sometimes this board can be right. However, Billy G had strong support when he was hired and we (not including myself) were wrong, wrong, wrong. We (including myself) thought Miller would do well at IU. We were wrong. We (not including myself) thought Tubby would be a S16 coach at Minnesota and make it to the FF before UK would but we were wrong.
Over the years, I have read on this board that "if you know basketball, you will know Jared Carter will be great," and "Ramon Harris will lead Kentucky in scoring." I have read that college basketball has changed and there is so much parity that the blue bloods no longer have an advantage (before NIL and the Portal). I could go on and on.
The point being that we are wrong more than we are right. So, why would I care what a rival fan or a Kentucky fan thinks when I can make up my own mind?
Serious question: Do you vote for the person you believe is best or do you have to know what other people are thinking and let that influence your decision? If you do, just email me and I can tell you whom to vote for and why.
Nothing correct! Finish t-6 and t-7 his 2 seasons at uk. Finished 24-12, and 22-14. That’s Billy Clyde. Also lost to coach cal at rupp in his 1st season and Louisville 2nd season
Since numbers do not lie, I’ll bet you think Pope isn’t too bad of a recruiter? I bet his top 7 high school class and top 2 portal class have convinced you that he is, at minimum, a pretty decent recruiter…….or I bet you’ll disregard that and quietly assume the numbers lie (I.e. he missed on certain guys etc).
It is an honor to be ranked No. 1. It will be the only thing ranked number 1 while Pope is the coach.
Right, but Pope swept them both years. I don't think they would say what you think they would.
They would also be more reasonable than our own fans and state the obvious fact that UK was a shell of themselves both years with the injuries.
Most people without an agenda understand how devastating it is to lose players, but our own fans don't.
Well wait, we call out the injury excuse for BYU and Iowa State, but that's different somehow. I still can't figure out how though.
I love the guy who says that Hurley's record before UConn cannot be considered because it is a pre-NIL but he constantly talks about Pope's record at BYU as evidence that Pope can't coach. You seriously can't make this stuff up!
I’m personally over pope. I don’t ever want a Beta coaching at Kentucky. Mark pope is soft he’s goofy and he’s boring af
Bullsh*t.
Guess I understand, I rarely see you here.
There were threads started by respectable, long time posters, hoping UK lost out.
Betas don’t exist in human nature. Always hilarious when the same people with no nuance in talking basketball also don’t understand basic science.
Here’s from Google:
The "alpha/beta" human dynamic is fundamentally flawed, based on outdated, debunked research on captive, unrelated wolves. In the wild, wolf packs are family units led by parents (breeding pairs), not aggressive dictators fighting for dominance. Applying these misinterpreted wolf dynamics to human social structures is scientifically unsound.
This is 10000% correct! Pope has lost most of the fan base! Cut yo ties before it’s too late!
And you think Cal is in the HOF for his coaching? If so, I now know you are oblivious.
It depends how you analyze recruiting classes. If you rank them based on what the gurus think before the players play, yes he is a good portal guy. Or if you rank them based on what the players accomplish, then it is either he is either a bad recruiter or a terrible coach. You can pick.
Kentucky will be the next Indiana if they keep pope long
There’s no point in continuing this conversation. You're mind is made up. Good luck with your blood pressure.
You think you're over Pope? Doesn't look like it to me.
If you’re rating them after they play, that isn’t recruiting, my friend. That is scouting/talent evaluation. And yes, I think Pope mismanaged this roster. I also think injuries played a major role.
Glad we agree that Pope is a decent recruiter though.
I’m past that! I’m telling you I see it come! He’s god awful! He’s a terrible coach!
hard to ague with his recent success. I'd have a hard time defending his antics as coach but not his winning
See, that is how incompetent you are as a basketball guy. What do you think he is in the Hall of Fame for? Your personal agenda does not allow you to see the truth. You can hate him all you want, but the guy is one of the top coaches to ever coach the game.
He's in the HOF for his recruiting and the big stage he was on at UK.
If he was anytning close to a HOF coach, he wouldn't be sitting there with 1 title while half the NBA played for him.
The guy is a mid game coach at best.
Probably for his looks! I mean what else could it be for? Could be white privilege, but I’m not buying that.
