what would be more stupid would be immediately following a 29 win Elite Eight season (which isnt happening) would be giving him a raise and contract extension. something that would 100% happen and 100% be a disaster.
Yea sweet 16 is auto 1 year extension. And if that season happens no one will complain except you I suppose.

I'm sure this is far too optimistic for most, but I survived so many impossible things in my life and still recovered to stand and live, I will go down with my attitude of positive optimism until I die. So I shall indeed, play along.

25-7 reg. season , out at the elite eight with 9 total losses. Sad thing is, even if Pope manages that, which would overacheive from what I am really feeling, I don't think it's enough to keep him. I really think he and the team need to overachieve even greater than that for him to stay.

Dunno what to think.

Hope for the best, prep for the worst. But not evacuating, I'll go down with the Big Blue ship like all those that have passed along before me. Faith intact.💪

The rest of college basketball, including opposing fans and coaches treat him like the second coming of Tom Crean. At some point, when everyone else thinks you’re the problem, you probably are.
Everyone is a very specific number.
Also, it's doubtful that it's true.

Well that one didnt count cause...... FAAAR POPE!
46-26 after two years. going into year 3 and after spending 25M on a roster uk will start the season ranked 7th in the SEC. at this ranking....its likely another 10-11-12 loss regular season. as of today most likely case is finishing year 70-39.

Moving goalpost. That wasn’t the statement that was made. The statement was pope never beat Florida.

Are we talking about PRE season rankings?
Can you be ranked in a conference that hasn't played a game yet?
You can not.
Projections are just guesses.
Carry on faaaring Pope.

Yea exactly. And last year preseason we were what 9. So we must’ve been really good then you would think since pre season matters.

21-10.

I really like our starting lineup but not sure about the depth. Pope loves to rotate more than he should. And can we stay fairly healthy? We haven’t to this point and are banking on guys like Kepnang to give us quality depth and he’s been hurt most of his career.

Plus pope’s career winning percentage is like 60% so I don’t have much faith that he’ll pull a rabbit out of his hat this year.

I thought this was interesting.pope has only had a healthy roster in 10 out of 72 games. That’s significant.
i get injuries happen but he’s been snake bit.
That alone explains a lot.

Yea it’s almost not believable how many injuries we have had over the 2 years and to key guys.

My guess is we hover around 10-12 regular season losses. Probably a bubble top 25 team.

Pope is completely in over his head and deep down he knows it. He's a phony who most of these kids see right through.

Any foolish hope I had went out the window the second we took Zoom Diallo. He's a losing player. It's another roster filled with way too many C+/B- level talent and the pieces don't really fit together. Pope is completely lost in terms of roster construction. Again, because he's a f'n phony.

This will be a frustrating, albeit at time frisky, team. I just hope it goes south enough to finally admit the obvious and hit the eject button on the weirdo nostalgia act.

Cheering for losses?
I think you're a phony.
Be careful, karma is a fickle mistress.
