The constant threads bashing Pope got old a long time ago. It’s really not complicated.
If he has a bad season this year, he’ll be gone. How about just seeing how it plays out?
it's a UK sports message board. Are we supposed to post only positive things you approve of until the inevitable?

God, we have some psychotic control freaks and wannabe bullies here. Here's a thought, if you don't like the thread, go to another one? There are other subjects being discussed here.

Here’s a thought, if you don’t like my response, then ignore it. What’s the point of countless threads bashing Pope! Seriously? He’s going to be the coach this season. You can be miserable, and ***** and moan non-stop, or you can wait and see how it plays out.

CALIPARI won 1 effing tournament game his last 4 seasons here with 9 million effing 5 stars.

Pope has won 3 tournament games in his first two seasons here. Look, he’s probably not the answer. However, I’ve gone over this numerous times. Donovan, Hurley, and Golden had far worse first two seasons than Pope has had. Pay attention. And by the way, I’ll comment on whatever the **** I want to.

Your point is vert short sighted and tunnel visioned. Only counting W's and L's is for people who can't think critically.
You accuse me of just looking at wins and losses while you ignore historic injury issues and the fact that we played the two most difficult schedules in school history. Add to this the fact that Cal and the NBA took our entire returning roster late in the process. It is of course ironic that you are the one that is guilty of exactly what you are accusing me of. The truth is Pope has done a better job than what just looking at the records would indicate which I have had to demonstrate ad nauseum on here.

Dude, there are like a whole 4 of you UKAA apologists left on here. Read the room. There are issues with Pope. Demanding everyone else stay in denial is futile, if not insane. I have a better idea. Instead of you trying to run off the fans, maybe you should go find a new board where they pump sunshine 24-7. Wouldn't want you whining and crying about everything poster expressing their opinion here, now would we?
You are dead wrong about only 4 people being sick of hearing the same garbage and negativity. You have tried repeatedly to accuse me of doing what you are the one actually engaged in. When will you comprehend it doesn't work?

Right, but that's my whole point. If the kitchen is disgusting, there are rats everywhere, the eggs have salmonella, tons of money and ingredients have been wasted or thrown away and they just randomly threw in ingredients without measuring and 'lucked' into a decent-tasting cake 1 out of 10 times—while being neither professional, consistent, nor repeatable—I just don't understand that psychology. Either way we will know if the cake is at least edible by the end of today.

There is nothing anywhere close to accurate in what you just spewed.

If Milan is torn and the difference is over $500k, UK should walk away and let him go to UL. There is no way UK should up its offer. You don’t want to pay a kid to come to UK when he wants to be at UL.

The total lack of self awareness here is amazing. But you sure like to tell others what they shouldn't be able to post about. Are you twin brothers with Paul? Both of you do nothing but dish crap out, but none of you can take it dished back to you.

Ok 5, maybe 6. Most are in this thread. Better Paul? Paul, you pulled this same apologist nonsense with Stoops. You're attempting to bully people into shutting up about Pope just like you did Stoops. I'm not sure what sort psychology
( appeal to authority?l) makes you tick, and I really don't care. But I don't play well with bullies.

You are still dead wrong as always. Legitimate points are one thing but constant whining just for the sake of whining is a different beast and you are definitely the latter. I'm a UK BB and FB fan and putting up with those that do nothing but complain about and criticize our program, coach, AD, school president, and anyone who tries to be positive gets old. You are trying to accuse me of bullying you but you are the one bringing me up in posts I was not even involved with (the term rent free comes to mind). It's more like you are the bully that can't handle being stood up to.

There are posters I frequently disagree with but can get along with just fine but that proves to be out the question with you.

Dude has killed my fandom. We have a giant NIL budget, great fans. But just gutted by poor administration and coaching.
If your fandom is dead why don't you just go away and take your against forum rules profile pic with you. Are you trying to be more like your hero with his Dandy Andy pic?

It is incumbent on those of us with the capability for rational thought to counteract the entitled emotional basketcases that reflect so poorly on our fanbase.

Go root for someone else then. We have more than our share of chicken littles and crybabies as it is.
Ditto. These negative posters are not UK. Fans . Trolls . Fans from other school trying to destroy our program . Look how many times we came back from behind last year . No question he can flat out coach . Hope to c what he can do with hopefully an injury free team .

Shut up boomer. How is my avatar against forum rules? Buddy’s name is Paul, lollolololo.
I'm not a boomer and that is one of the stupidest insults in existence these days. Do you think people should be ashamed of when they were born? Is your pic Thomas Massie? Politics are strictly prohibited on here as you must know.

It's not your damn job to decide what is a legitimate post and what isn't, Paul.
Not sure why that simple concept escapes you.
Why do I suspect you have problem with boundaries in other parts of your life as well?

I’ve been on here a long time and I’ve never seen anyone get called out for their profile pic that I can remember lol
You're back! You must have been on leave during the run of the insane dude with the Dandy Andy pic getting banned 30 times a day (I think it was actually your old nemesis Nitro). I called his pic out plenty of times. Seeing as political discussion is forbidden here that type of bait really should be and may actually be as well imo. I have nothing to do with enforcing this stuff but I chose to point it out.

Your dime store psychology garbage is laughable. I didn't say legitimate post I said legitimate point which you obviously have no concept of.
