In regards to my original post I know I offended some people. I apologize. My intent was to show that maybe this is taken a little too seriously. And the hate on here isn’t right. I’m as big a Uk fan as any of you and frustrated with the situation now. I just hate to see the hatred towards Pope. I’m sure he’s well aware of his situation. I hope he works out but we all know what happens if he doesn’t.
Please guys don’t let a bad time for our team turn you into such vengeful hateful fans at one of our own. Again I apologize if I made you mad. Next time a poster is on here doing what I did ice them out, don’t respond you made it too easy to mess with you.
Go Cats!!! You have to admit though getting under some of your skin was good entertainment!
Yes. We all follow your every word.
(P.S. what are you talking about?)

Bout as rare as us fans being nice to a coach that sucks. It's ok Pope you just keep trying buddy. We'll be patient.
2 seasons bro. No top program fires a coach after making the tournament twice in his first 2 seasons, with a sweet 16. Yall are unreasonable.

North Carolina has fired not one but two of theirs since Dean Smith retired. So the fact that he played at UK does not mean that he can coach at UK.
Nobody is saying this. What we are saying is, he is one of us, so maybe tone down the vile hate.

These guys are acting like Pope lost 20 games a year, flashed his junk at us and told us to like it.

My Gawd, he made the sweet 16 and the 2nd round, while that's not 1996 good, it certainly isn't 9-16 bad. Cal actually went 9-16 and was treated a hell of a lot better than Pope is being treated right now.

Going into year three with maybe the worst recruiting ever. Expecting him to step down is unreasonable I agree. But he should of been fired already. It's not about getting blown out by Tennessee in the sweet sixteen or getting blown out in the round of 32 by Iowa State. It's the trajectory. I guess we get blown out in the first game of the tournament this year if we even make it.

Anybody wanting him a second longer is crazy. UK is living in 1996. The rest of college basketball is living in 2026. We are thirty years behind.

Then it will be reasonable to fire him, and maybe another coach will take the job.
He has the #13 portal team right now. 3 spots open. I know you'd rather be right than see him succeed. But he's getting another season. I'm hoping for a success.

For me it’s not about the last 2 years. It’s about recruiting for next year. We got zero hs recruits until he hired mo Williams and got his son. When we see u6 , ut and dUKe loading up and we seem to be missing on everyone,, that’s concerning.

Actually I'd rather him succeed. I am right about anything I've said. I can't change the truth. He hasn't done a good job man. Are you Cowboy?

They literally only care about one thing: recruiting classes. Otherwise, there's nothing for them to talk about in the off-season. Even if Pope were winning a s-hit ton of games with mediocre players, they'd be crying that the recruiting sucked.

Oh no, you "offended" people? Oh no you made people mad? No, you acted like a jackass. We weren't offended and we aren't mad. We just don't like you. "Oh you're offended" is how weak, pathetic people cope with being disliked because of their behavior.

We won't know whether you're right until next season. Until then it's supposition and opinion.
I have one account since 2009.
You've had yours since March. No doubt just to be negative.

These aren't just hateful fans, they are hateful people. I have seen things said about Pope on here that I wouldn't say to a dog. Miserable wretched the lot.

Yea just to be negative. We have two seasons of what Pope is and about 10 before his time at UK. Yea idk about this upcoming season but anybody can see what is about to happen.

So are you saying as a fan sit back shut up and watch the **** show? Ummm hell no buddy. I'm gonna keep btchn until Pope is gone. If that's negative to you then yes I'm negative.

I hope he does good. I hope we win and I'm completely wrong. Idk man. Wish I had like almost 15 years of Evidence on Pope.

Also Im not being overly negative. I'm not one of the people starting new threads saying Pope sucks. I get it we all know what's going on with the program... Some like to start saying things like we should ease up. Turn the heat up. I don't really care about Pope or his family like he doesn't care about mine. I want a fkn coach that can win and get some players. Not a big *** dork. There since you want me to attack Pope.


It's not about Pope with me. It's about UK. I want UK to get back on top. Nothing less. Pope won't do it. Why waste time. I get it tho hes here this year... I'll cheer the players on that are here. I'll be positive with them. Give them a chance. We gave Pope more than a chance. The joker was looking like a goofy talking about cars and 22 million. He's the goofy ruining our program . He even said it's our program.

I'm not the bad guy. You aren't either or any fan. It's not about us or Pope it's about UK.

Do what you want. Seems ridiculous to cry just to cry. No amount of whining will change anything.

That is simply not true. We care about the future and that means getting better players. I hope Pope can win with the players we have but I’d be more confident if our recruiting was better. Sorry if that upsets some of you.

UK is getting made fun of a lot right now on social media. That’s why so many people are staying mad. I believe that’s stirring our fans up a lot.

You can call someone's opinion crying if you want. If it didn't matter what was said and wouldn't cause change then people like you wouldn't be doing what you're doing . It's not crying just having a conversation and opinion.

We can cause change. It's funny to ones that think other wise. Why even exist? Bologna phony.

Perception is reality and UK is being laughed at more than ever. It's embarrassingly bad. I'm sorry to whoever that I'm not a cuck. Somebody might be fkn my wife but not in my face without me saying something or putting a stop to it. I might not stop it but I'm not just gonna watch quiet.

If i was was married lol. Just giving a example of how it feels for me as a UK fan

You will accomplish nothing. Except maybe scaring off future coaches.

Also when Cal started falling off here we were all sick of the one and done prima donnas. Or as others would say the inmates running the asylum.

Then here Pope is having one of the craziest season I've ever seen with chaos he couldn't control his team and had the worst case of inmates running the asylum ever. He's the worst parts of Cal on roids. Yea yea Ik we just beat arkasas ...

We used to have players Like Malik Monk turn down arkasas for UK. It could be time for Cal to go and also not want the worst downgrade possible..
