Popes the only one keeping negative momentum going. Don't blame me man I'm just a benny. Maybe you know a lot of posters enjoy my post even if they disagree with everything I say.
You think these dudes like you? They will turn on you the second you say something they don't like.
I've said plenty of positive things. You sir want me to get negative. I won't do it. I've been saying Pope sucks for ages but that's just one topic. I say positive stuff all the time.
Want you to get negative? Jesus man, that's all you've done. Are you saying you've been positive Anot all this time? Yikes.
If it's good I'll say good if it's bad I'll say bad. I can't fake it tho. You want me to go into troll mode so bad but I'll continue to have a conversation as long as you like buddy
I hate to tell you this, but you are already a troll, you don't need my help.
All in all I want UK basketball to be respected. To win. Don't gotta win the championship every year. Just be respected. Not tied for seventh. Im sorry if that's to negative for you buddy
you'll be better off cheering for the Dodgers, you'll be happier that way.

He also has one of the worst losses in his gigantic round of 32. I haven't invented anything. You're getting mad that I can argue with facts. I'm not making a narrative. Call it what it is.
Wait, wait, wait, you think the loss to Iowa State is one of our worst? Not on your life. Cal has 3 worse than him just off the top of my head.

You're not funny. I know you think you are. I wonder how many people have told you that.
Hey, at least you made a boyfriend through all of this. You really impressed ole Anot. A perfect match of idiots made in heaven.

Nobody can turn on me dude. This is a internet forum. How will they turn on me? Disagree with me? Lately I'm trying to talk UK sports and not get into the troll stuff. It's really played out. And yes I think some posters like my post. And if not that's ok man this isn't serious. You disagreeing with me is ok. I don't find your opinion offensive. Just odd. I get it tho.

I really hope this is a thing you do here and not how you are in real life

Hmm, we're simply having a conversation. Way to make it weird.
Yea I made it weird. Dude you leave me no choice. Idk if it's the Andy avatar or something I said but at this point it's not a conversation. I'm just replying to you because why not? You don't bother me. I got all night. Work graveyard. But it's also not weird if you like it. I'm just saying. 😉😗♥️

I don't need to produce anything. The post I made to you was a generalization of how you guys are attacking Pope. Calling the guy "Mark Dope" is ridiculous. That's what I said. I didn’t say you, yourself said it.

But either way, by the looks of it, you don't need proof. You can just focus on the negative and refuse to admit anything positive.

But keep up the good work Ashtray.
You absolutely DID accuse ME of saying it, you bald faced liar.

So now you've BACKTRACKED and RETREATED into an admission that you made sh.it up. Thanks for admitting you're a liar.

Lumping me in as "you guys" is dishonest, lazy, and pathetic. Describes you to a 'T.'

You all were screaming ‘TITLE’ after the Purdue exhibition because you SAW IT. You FELT IT. You KNOW the potential is there. But the second adversity hits, some of you turn into doomsday prophets predicting the end of the program.
Give him time. Give him HEALTH. Give him HIS players. And watch what happens!
I'm supposed to "give him health" when he repeatedly recruits players with HEALTH ISSUES?
I know you are trolling, but damn it's annoying.
What's even sadder, is that Barnhart's cheerleading squad here are upvoting you....none the wiser. Har!

You do have mental issues. You’re weak minded. Go read all your posts, you are inventing reasons to keep your negative momentum going. You refuse to say anything positive at all. You're that guy that has no friends, because all you do is complain.
Weak minded is being too lazy to research what somebody said before accusing them of something when you have no idea who said what.

I get it, you're just raging, flailing about, lashing out at everyone in some Quixotic crusade.

The rest of us can see clearly. But you're so deeply invested in defending Pope that you have alienated literally EVERYONE here except for trolls like Nitro. And you've told yourself a story, that you're somehow right and everyone else is wrong.

And when Pope falls on his face next season you'll prance around and act like you predicted it.

You're just a narcissistic fraud.

You are trying to argue logic with someone sent here to cheerlead for Barnhart and crew and attack anyone who calls a turd a turd.

I guess most of BBN is haters huh ? Because you and Jeff are the minority here
I guess you were just clowning about changing that pic. I saw where you said you would change it when you find something better. That should not have taken more than a few seconds.

You're the one trying to rattle my cage yet again. You think it is only me and Jeff huh? Are you forgetting your arch nemesis Cowboy? The posters on this forum are mostly negative whiners and they do not represent the majority of BBN.

I actually like cowboy and his overly positive attitude. I have no arch nemesis and actually I was being light hearted and sincere about the getting a beer. Even tho Ik it won't happen I was just trying to let you know I'm actually not after you or trying to ruffle your feathers.

Now my avatar bothering you is a different subject. It's been that before you said you didn't like it. But as far as rattling your cage no I get no excitement from it. I was trying to get past whatever it is because I've never had a problem with any of y'all. Ive liked tons of your post and I feel like you have liked a ton of mine which is why I was confused last night.

Im not here to ruffle feathers. I can have a good time. Not attack anybody. I don't even have a problem with y'all's opinion. It's just different than mine.

And tbh I don't even know what we went back and forth about. Being seventh or ninth? Is that the only thing you disagreed with?

The problem last night was I pointed out a simple fact and you refused to accept it because you were afraid it chipped into the overly negative and exaggerated point you were trying to make.

I wasnt afraid. Remind me again what it was so we can keep it simple. You said we finished 7th. I said we finished ninth. Was there something else? Is that overly exaggerating? We weren't actually ninth we were tied for 7th. Seems you are over exaggerating a positive when there's nothing positive about finishing middle of the pack or less.

Also what's up with you wanting me to be mad at you and cowboy? Got no issues. Theres been posters who said my mom should burn in hell knowing she has stage four cancer. Trust me I'm not mad at you buddy for saying we were tied for seventh ..

The real issue is you apparently either have personal issues with Pope or you think you can see the future and know he can't possibly do better going forward. You seem to believe I have a personal attachment to Pope is the only reason I support him getting a third season. I've liked Pope for many years but that has no bearing on this. I do not believe you should remove a coach after just two seasons given the facts at hand whether it be him or someone else. If there are examples of a coach being fired under these circumstances I'd assume it to be very rare and I welcome you to provide pertinent examples and show how that worked out going forward. I have previously given loads of examples of very successful coaches who struggled more than this for more than two seasons in their positions before taking off.

I never claimed it to be a great positive I just pointed out that it was the truth. Can you concede the call against Auburn was very questionable and if we win that game it moves up to a tie for 4th?

Popes here. I can't change that. I don't hate him or have a personal beef with him. I simply think we are waisting time with him as many others do. I can support him and also have a good idea that this season is going to be a disaster. But who knows maybe they click. Which I've said many times along with a million other positive things. Y'all find a thread I'm talking bad about Pope and run with it like that's all I ever do.


I want Pope to succeed so bad. Well wanted him to. I still do I reckon but accepting that he more than likely won't isn't being negative or having a personal beef with anybody. Pope annoys the hell out of me with his weak way of doing things. He comes off weak to me. He's the leader of my favorite team. Am I supposed to like the leader saying things like he feel like killing himself or whatever he said?

I'm not obligated to show Pope sympathy. I'm not obligated to live the man or cheer him when he fails. I hope he wins big this year. Hope he wins a title and gets a contract extension. But more than likely he fails and should then be shown the exit.

I just don't see any hatred there with what I said. Just a basic opinion from a basic fan. Im a Benny. What I say shouldn't even bother anybody anyway.

So do you not care about being a ninth seed in the SEC tournament? You act like I made the number nine up. We tied for seventh sure. But lost the tie somehow and for whatever reason we were the 9th seed. That's also the truth.

I think you and others are making something out of nothing with that quote that simply made the point that he was no more pleased than us about how things were going. We can probably agree on some things as I am not exactly enamored with the lack of intensity from Pope and our playing style a lot of times but I can acknowledge there is more than one way to get things done so I will have the patience to see how it plays out and support our coach and team in the mean time. I would prefer a lot more aggressive more high risk defense predicated on creating turnovers personally. The lack of off ball movement on offense is a real pet peeve of mine when it occurs as well.

I never disputed that as it is clearly factual. I can live with that being the fact though it is not good and is not acceptable to continue at that level.

I didn't take the quote literall. I don't think he wanted to kill himself but the man said it and it's like who the hell says that. You can say it jokingly but he said it all sad like we need to feel sorry for him.

Well you don't seem to understand. And you seem to not want to accept we have a 9 attached to last season.
No clue why you say this as I have repeatedly acknowledged It was our tournament seed. We factually finished tied for 7th in league play and had one of the more difficult paths with an unbalanced league schedule.

You never answered whether you think we got an extremely questionable call to alter the Auburn outcome which could have resulted in a tie for 4th.

I think we got a bad call. But we shouldn't be in that position with a terrible Auburn team in the first place. Bad call there little grace in the lsu game. I said that last night. We shouldn't have to scrape by Auburn and blame one call.

What do you mean by grace in the LSU game? I don't care if it was scraping by a win is win and should have been ours rightfully and it would have drastically altered our finish from a tie for 7th to tied for 4th.
