Agree, CMP has never put together a National Championship team.
Utah Valley and BYU were always contenders for the Final 4 before CMP arrived at their respective school and have been contenders ever since he left these schools!
We’re just going to have to deal with it. Mitch made sure of that. Everything looks to be going against CMP this offseason so one more year of this BS and we can hopefully get a coach that is capable of keeping up the standard.
Yeah if you can't win at, wait for it....Utah Valley State, you can't win anywhere
Not many coaches have
We should ban any poster who uses the word "natty." It ranks right down there with the Wendy's commercials. Who was the idiot who came up with the idea of marketing "nugs" and "tendys" Probably the same person who came up with the word, "natty."
Or winning a 'chip
Several of the coaches these jackasses scream for hasn't won one. Oats hasn't neither has Pearl. I wish all these trolls would go back to their own schools boards
I looked up every single coach in the SEC. All of them on Wikipedia. Every coach has conference regular season championships, conference tournament championships, coach of the year awards, except two. Steven Pearl, who just won the NIT and you guessed it, Mark Pope. How did we get to a place where we have the least qualified and accomplished coach on our own conference. No wonder he can’t get players and Mitch went MIA months ago.
That's crazy. Being a winner should be an absolute requirement for any coach at a program like Kentucky. Some coaches are winners and others aren't. You can be a great assistant or great strategist, but still not know how to win games or build a winning culture.
Stop asking questions. Some of our fans don’t like you revealing the truth.
I wonder if any school in the SEC would welcome a trade for coaches. I would guess the answer would be a hard no. Sad
I contend that his 1st UK team was a contender. Before the injuries. Especially if KK had started playing even close to his AZ days. It was a top 20 l cell team when healthy.
That’s laughable. Tri-County Cat is anything but committed to revealing the truth. He’s a terrible liar and has no integrity. Yes, I stand on that.
Literally look it up. Name one coach and I’ll post his championships. I don’t listen to you anyways, you’ve proven you’re an idiot.
You have too much pride to admit when you’re wrong. That’s a despicable feature. Truth is, before we had our interaction where you blatantly lied multiple times, I had respect for you even though I disagreed with you. I think it’s shameful when men place ego above doing the right thing.
Also ban "ship" short for championship or maybe it's "chip" either way it sounds so dumb.
Negative, you said half and it literally wasn’t half, no matter how you do the math. Like I said name a coach? Prove me wrong big boy.
This was the interaction we had about the 2025 team. It’s the TLDR version. Literally almost everything @Tri-Countycat said was false. I told him it was false, gave him a direct link showing all of it was false. He insulted me, while making up a bunch of stuff (as he often does.) Rather than being cool about it and say “hey man, I was wrong”…nah double down before God and everyone. Like I said, I’m wrong ALOT but I admit where I fail. You are above just simply admitting that you made up what you said because it fit your agenda. Not committed to truth at all.
Wanna start with Lamont Paris?

No, man. I just want you to do better going forward. We all have biases but we at least should be responsible to be honest. That’s all.
Pope and nearly 300 other coaches have failed to put together a championship team.
You just go around looking to start crap with made up facts. Got called on it and got but hurt.
how about Chris Jans: I can do the whole conference. Your boy Pope has nothing listed though.

You know what man? That’s sad. I’m done talking to you. I know you’re a Catholic man and what you’re doing matters. It isn’t even up for debate. The conversation thread still exists. And you can go review it yourself. But I’m done talking sense to you. That’s on you.
Surely Pope is better than Porter Moser?

How could he with the honor code stuff at BYU, and the JMI stuff at UK. The man has been recruiting with two hands tied behind his back. No one can put together talent under those circumstances.
You’re gonna make me go back and dig further to the specifics Mr. Ego? I will. I’ll brb
There’s literally every back and forth sequentially beginning with you replying to MY message to someone else all the way to the end. Liar. Awful liar. Zero integrity.
Pope’s 2 best teams were 2024 BYU & 2025 Cats.
Both derailed by injuries.
Pope is the Kentucky coach for at least 3 more years _ Get used to it & Wish him success.
GO BIG Blue

This is the trash roster these boomers are defending. Anything to keep their hero role player, Mark Pope, propped up in their head.
