This board has a lot of comprehend issues and the ability to assess, discern and think has been out the window.

Let me help you.

I like Pope, he should stay
VS.
I don't like Pope, I don't think he should stay
--
This is not a troll post. This is an opinion.

I like Pope because I feel like he hasn't had a fair shot at his coaching and he needs time to adjust.
VS.
I don't like Pope because of the way his team consistently performs and gives up He has given no indication he can recruit or land guys that would make a competitive roster.
--
Both of these are not trolls, but better responses because they give a reason WHY. The WHY, no one really talks about anymore. It's sad. I wish it would be more prevalent.

If you don't like Pope you're not a real UK fan -- Troll Post because of insult.

If you like Pope you're not a real UK fan -- Troll post because of insult.

See the difference?

If you simply say what you deleted that thread for in the first place I'll leave it alone. What was there to delete?

Edit: it's called controlling the narrative.
The posts were deleted because of the constant bickering about the same ole stuff between you two. If that's not to your liking, ok.

If I was controlling the narrative I'd delete every postive Pope post.

Yea just delete mine and Mondays bickering? If it was anybody else it would still be there. Gotta protect his schtick. It's really odd. You are Monday man. Y'all both have the same style. I've done been on here to many years. If you're not Monday y'all are really good friends.

Deleted it because we were bickering? Ok. I'll leave it alone like I said. Pick and choose. Control the narrative.

It's best you don't have that spring cookout because you can't just ban people in person. You couldn't edit post or delete half a thread in person or twist peoples words.


You have the same clueless schtick as a lot of trolls. You're a mod but never know what's going on do ya. But you delete mine and Mondays conversation in less than five minutes. See me in person and try not to show your Louisville gear. Or whatever team you like because it isn't UK.

The negativity has gotten so bad I hate coming here to check news. I canceled my pay subscription because it was 95% negative. I never believed we had bad fans until now. Pope hasn’t earned all this vile bashing. Sweet 16 with a bare roster first year. He screwed up last year’s roster but it was also the first year of JMI and I think changes had to be made. Agents complained.
Barnhart is the worst AD in college sports and that is finally coming to light. JMI was and is a recruiting nightmare for basketball’s elite.
Between all the Poop people, WHIF PEOPLE, and people using everything on this board that other coaches use to negatively recruit, why would any young player want to come here ??

I canceled mine too. I complained to Rowland and he just kinda shrugged his shoulders about the over the top thread hijacking, personal insults flying around, and just overall nastiness.

If it's me, I would like to file a grevience based on where's my money.
Not you at all, brother. You'd warn a man before giving him a ban. And you wouldn't make it for a whole year. This person has been around a very long time. They used to get into it with Brian Poe all the time. Yep. That guy.

Yep you got me. UL fan here.

You asked why and I told you. Believe it or not.

I think people here getting together would be a blast. Then I could break out my UL gear for all you all.

You're good. If I can see it everybody else can. I'm ok to just talk UK ball on here. Even this thread was about UK ball. Sick of it always being ok to be about individual posters. Agenda pushers.

You are Monday also. Just another one of his accounts. Ban me for what? Crazy.
Mine was in reference to an Anon that posted a vicious comment with like eight curse words on it. The post is now gone. Me and Monday Nitro are very different people and I don’t think anyone would confuse us. I respect his views but they aren’t mine.

Me: Stoner
Nitro: Hates weed

Me: In my upper 30s
Nitro: A little older based on some of the things he’s said about my age group

Me: Far right
Nitro: Traditional conservative

Me: Likes John Calipari
Nitro: Hates John Calipari

Me: Loves video games and nerd culture
Nitro. Hates video games and nerd culture

Me: Nuance-focused
Nitro: Straight to the point

Me: Extremely friendly approach to debate
Nitro: Straight to the point

Me: Doesn’t care about program PR / Would hire any scumbag that can win
Nitro: Cares more about program PR

Me: Wrestling nerd
Nitro: Watched wrestling thirty years ago.

You’re crazy thinking we are even close to the same. Only thing we have in common is we both are more supportive of Pope than the average poster

OP is one of the most reactionary, name-calling and generally low effort posters on this site, so of course he would create a thread whose entire intent was to stir the pot and blame other posters for his own shortcomings.

OP is one of the most authentic on here. Even if you don't agree with anything I say. I have plenty of knowledge about basketball and UK and that's what I talk about. It's people like Monday that try to make the Kentucky forum about Monday.

I don't even want this thread to be about me or Monday. My point is BBN is the best college basketball fanbase in the country by a long shot.

The biggest the baddest the loudest the most feared. That's why all the negativity is piling on because the entire country is getting it in while they can. Because they all know we will be back on top soon. Governor just stepped in. Old Kentucky loading.

You're way more direct than you think, as evidenced by this post. Weed for you,, Hafbrau Dunkel for me and all is well.

2 things are unequivocally true
Mark Pope is not a Kentucky caliber head coach
Mark Pope knows more about basketball than ANY poster on this site
Except for @FilmNerd . That guy just rewatched the entire college basketball season last night while roasting marshmallows. I think he knows a little more than Pope.

It was not great before the merger. It’s been awful after the merger on HOB. As the OP says, there are so many people that don’t seem to be fan posters. Some Anons may defend everything JMI and Barnhart. Some are nasty negative Pope. Some just personally attack posters. I had enough. I’m not paying for that. I can get that here for free.

--
This is not a troll post. This is an opinion.

No sane person with a brain thought Pope would lose his job this year. So, when you repeatedly post this, it’s trolling.

I don't like Pope because of the way his team consistently performs and gives up He has given no indication he can recruit or land guys that would make a competitive roster.
--

First, his team last year never gave up. It lost, but it also had a reputation for coming back and fighting to victories. So, while not a troll post, the “consistently… give up” claim is factually wrong. This year’s team showed inconsistent fight, but last year’s, while not perfect, had spectacular comebacks and hard fought wins. So, while the sentiment may not be trolling, fabrications to bash are signs of trolling.

The competitive roster claim is also suspect, given last year’s team that played in the toughest conference, some have stated, in NCAA history.

conveniently compressing Pope’s UK career into one year sure sounds like trolling, but admittedly could just be ignorance.

How about banning ol Nitro? He has made fun of a poster that has experienced depression (and was honest about it here), made fun of my dad passing, calls people names every single day- but, he is a pope lover so you always give him a pass imo.
My post that said “ban^” was not about permabanning anyone. It’s a common running joke on KSR+ and I just brought it over here and boy I regret it. I have nothing against that Anon guy. He just had a bad post. Jeez lol. And I’m not getting into the spat you have with Nitro. Plenty of people here don’t get along. I don’t like TriCountyCat. Other people like him. That’s the nature of message boards.

I dont want the guy banned either. But- you have on many occassions advocated banning people or for a stricter mod presence. The times I recall you mentioning it involved an anti Pope poster that was calling names, etc. You have never advocated it with the opposite side. That's a fact.

No matter who the poster is, if they’re calling names, I think a timeout is warranted. Don’t care who it is. Even if it’s me.

Go visit the forum of any successful sports program or organization and you will how fans react when their team struggles. Believe it or not, this behavior is not exclusive to Kentucky fans

My point is that each time you’ve raised this publicly, it has aligned with a specific perspective on the Pope narrative. 100% of the time.
