Our fanbase is such a bad look

I'm asking in a serious way. Why is all of this our fault? And then everyone says nobody reads rafters so which is it?

Popes making himself look bad. And to be honest this is the worst I've seen Kentucky basketball since I came out of my mom's cooch. Are we supposed to be supportive?
We're you not around for '85,'87,'89,'90,'00,'02,'06,'07,'08,'09,'13,'18,'21,'23,or '24?

This is worse imo
You're entitled to your opinion but it is erroneous. The last two schedules have been the two most difficult in school history and our performance against them is superior to all the years I listed.

There were actually more seasons in that range where performance against schedule was weaker than the last two seasons but I generously omitted the ones with single digit losses or elite eight advancements and there are only two sweet 16's in this list.

You actually think Pope's two seasons are worse than '89 and '21 even? or '08 and '09 which are a worse record against much weaker schedules for that matter?

How we are eating our own in Pope is such a bad look. Who would want to come here if we continue to act like this. There are better ways to go about this… Who would want to come here with how we treat Pope.

Be better guys!
"They" treat him the same way lol

Can you blue haired, zit faced, emasculated soy bois, get your own forum to discuss your favorite Vagisil products, and White Claw flavors, and leave the sports discussions to the adults over here please?

Every time one of you pajama wearing goofs opens your mouth, all I hear is, “Leave Brittany alone!”

Give this sissy BS a rest, already 🙄

Don't worry too much. It's a bunch of clowns that go between here and Facebook pitching a fit every waking hour except to run out for another box of donuts. These people are a miniscule fraction of our fanbase. They want to spreak for everyone but aren't taken seriously by anyone.
If you find these people so despicable, why would you interact with them? You’ve been a member for less than a year and already racked up over 4,000 posts. You’re all about engagement farming. No basketball talk, just baiting people. The epitome of a lonely loser in life. Sad existence.

Keep telling yourself that. My posts hit you close to home under your 20th account this year. Poor guy.

This reaction is absolutely no different than any other major program in any sport when it becomes apparent that it's time to move on from a coach. Fan support and intense criticism from those same fans is what keep great programs at that level.
Fan SUPPORT. Not fan hatred.

The fans who are criticized for being too harsh probably love this program far more than the people who pretend to be positive all the time. Otherwise, they wouldn't be angry.

In an ideal situation, people will support the program with positivity when doing well, but hold those in charge of the program accountable when things are going in the wrong direction.

There's a difference in holding people accountable versus out right hatred. You probably don't understand that though. And I'm not trying to be snarky, it's just a problem with society in general.

This right here is the response from a loser. The miniscule fraction are losers like this who think the switch is just going to be turned on and everything will be rosy.

But you didn’t answer my question. Why do you hang out with people you deem to be losers? Don’t deflect.
Yawn. I talk to lots of good folks here. I tell them they should avoid people like you like I’m getting ready to do. Enjoy acting like a 2 year old. You, corndogsandrancidmilk, etc. are the classic examples of “ I want to behave badly, make the entire fanbase look like Neanderthals and never hear about it!” 🤡

What kills me is all the people saying we had no shot at Stokes are now suddenly outraged that we didn’t get him? How is that possible when you supposedly already knew we had no shot? How can you be mad now then that what you already knew came true?

I hate it as much as anyone but we still have options to put together a good roster. I’ll pass judgement once all the spots are filled. We need a big splash though that’s for certain.
Most are mad at Pope and not Stokes. They are mad because Pope wasted 2 years, being 100% clueless that Stokes was playing him. The fact that he signed papers for Kansas before his last UK visit is absurdity on both Pope and Stokes. Most of here was more about the "perception is reality" if we landed Stokes.

Will Stein has never had a HC job, but he learned from successful people. He learned from Dan Lanning at Oregon, who was a DC under Kirby Smart, who Kirby Smart was an asst. coach at Bama under Saban. Look at that line. Stein's philosophy is, we want the studs, but we will not let the studs dictated our roster if they do not want to commit in a reasonable time.

If Pope had Stein's recruiting philosophy, Stokes would have been out the door and left in the dust.

Stein proved this when the #1 QB was interested but his agent and brother didn't want him to commit to UK yet so they can fish around. Stein said okay but no thanks and got our current QB now which seems to have some decent potential.

I agree that the bullying comments and hatred are out of line. No one should attack him for his religion or his personality. I think we can all agree though that he is a horrible coach and that Kentucky has no chance at being a contender again until he is gone. Let's try to keep the focus on his terrible performance as a coach and at his job and not the personal attacks. In fairness though I do think most are not hurling personal attacks at him but for those that do let's call it out and say its not necessary. There is plenty to criticize just from his job performance.

You don’t seem very bright. That must be a tough way to go through life. Good luck moving forward.

I don’t think the handful of you who do this understand just how incredible ridiculous what you’re saying is. It’s hard to imagine you actually think this way.
