I thought exhibitions didn't matter?

[CatEye2010]

Upsets happen all the time in college basketball beit exhibition or regular season games.

It doesn't make it meaningless.......it's just one game tho.

Yeah, IU beat unc by double digits so……

 

[kyjeff1]

wait to we lose a game these whiners and flamethrowers will be out in full force if you think it's bad now . However when we win a big game they want be found never ending cycle .

What's really funny is these guys that want Pope fired, are the same ones going bonkers in game threads, because we're only up 10 in an exhibition game.
They want him fired, but they get raging mad the second there's even a possibility of a loss.
They haven’t figured out yet that Pope only gets fired if he loses a ton of games, because he's not a drunk that's chasing coeds.

I thought mark pope does lose a lot of games? Isn’t his SEC winning percentage like 55%?
How many games will the Kentucky Hoosiers lose his year? Picked 7th in the mighty SEC. Buckle up, buttercup it’s gonna be a long year for pope fans. Mark is 20-16 in the SEC with a winning percentage of 55%! Welcome to Bloomington! Least football as real coach!

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Only UK fans would find a way to ***** about WINNING all 3 of its exhibition games.

You're so pathetic. You bring nothing to the board except the same crappy hate takes. You bring zero conversational value. Get a life.

 

[JAC71]

I couldn't care less about opposing fans. I dont interact with any n real life and the ones on here I ignore.

I’m surrounded by them and they love Mark Pope at Kentucky. That tells me all I need to know about Pope. Good guy but wrong career field. He should have stayed in medicine

 

[bbnkat02]

That is the official Kentucky Men's Basketball social media account bragging about exhibition wins.

What do you want them to say? It’s their job to promote the team. This is like griping about a kid’s parents hanging his drawings on the fridge.

Good grief.

 

[bbnkat02]

If you're someone triggered by this tweet, you should maybe re-evaluate your outlook on life.

Egggggsactñy.

Look. A lot of us aren’t happy with the state of the program but if this is what makes you so angry on a Saturday morning when the world is on fire the it’s time to go outside and:

I’m reminding you of Mark pope’s amazing SEC record! Meanwhile Coach cal won the SEC tournament in year2 at Arkansas. Boy didn’t Kentucky get the wrong end of the deal! Welcome to Bloomington! Home of mark pope! Btw in year 2 at Kentucky, coach cal lost in the final four!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

yeah not really sure your point here so....

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

Funny, you say Rah Rah, but its a true statement of fact

Well they omitted facts as well like Texas Tech was down 2 starters one of which is an all American.

But dont let facts get in the way of a good story

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

I know we are all losing faith in Pope, but we may as well let the season play out.
I think he is fine with play calls and analytics, we just lack intensitiy.
Maybe with Mo Williams on the sidelines he can help that.

We are going to be long, and have guys that can get a bucket whenever we need one. It is a team built more for march imo, not saying we will go far - but it is the simple truth.

Problem is, is that Pope is still on the sidelines...

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

This. You cant put too much stock into the outcomes but its quite obvious we just don't have the pieces to make any noise.

None of the games looked like we had any sort of physical/talent superiority at all. That's why everyone is rightly concerned.

This is another 10+ loss team.

 

[warrior-cat]

Why in the world would you post that. It's just more ammo for opposing fans. We are already the butt of every CBB joke let's not throw them alley oops.

That's better than a Helms tropy.

 

[0r1c]

Nancy thread. Cry about everything, even the irrelevant.

You're the one whining? Imagine if nobody posted anything, like the UofL boards... The fact BBN cares and talks about everything makes it fun.

You're confused.

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

You can take that to the bank. Ive never bet on sports before, but if there is somewhere I can make this bet I definitely would. Its a lock.

I’d bet Duke, UCONN, and Florida don’t “tweet”
coping BS like that!

That’s the point some of us are trying to make! Remember when we gave IU crap about cereal boxes and KU hanging Helms Banners? Same stuff

Can you imagine how the haters would have reacted if Pope had lost one of the exhibition games. Ther would have been a hundred hate threads.

Ohhhh......so injuries ARE and excuse for losing a ballgame.... see, you and a few others on here have told me for two years that isn't the case. Lets tell it buddy

 

[RunninRichie]

"haters" grab your nutsack, the coach is part of the program, he's not the program. UK has been a non-stop joke in the recruiting world, 20-16 in SEC play since Pope took over. Why do you support this? You were the last Stoops defender too, why are you such a shill?

The fact that you keep saying "Kentucky Hoosiers" and still have friends on here, is baffling to me. That should get you tar'd and feathered.
You’re pathetic and so is anyone that supports your dumb bs.

Do you think Mark Pope will hang a banner? I’m talking about the Duke win banner! We are the Hoo Hoo Hoosiers! Say it with me, Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!! Mark pope has nuked the Kentucky basketball program!

Actually, duke does some of the Girliest crap I've ever seen. Go watch some of their skits. Talk about cringe.

They hate him even when he wins. The guy is in a lose/lose situation. Nothing will be good enough. Even if he gets to a FF, they'll make excuses for the teams we beat.
They're already doing it.
We aren't allowed to talk about injuries, but when we win a game, like the Texas Tech game, it"s "but, but, but, TT has injuries". You can't make this sh*t up.

 

[kyjeff1]

No, I don't think Pope will hang any banners, but I'm going to give the guy a shot to prove me wrong, instead of being a weak minded @sshat that does nothing but trash the guy on a daily basis. Grow the f**k up.

Imagine trying to be the CEO of General Motors with a production line résumé. Grow up? I say be smart!

 

[Bugs092056]

That tweet is exactly what's wrong with uk basketball right now. Please tell me otherwise if it isn't

Maybe use someone other than GM to make your point, there are too may things I can point out that make this analagy fail.

Also, this isn’t a business that depends on consumer sales, so your point fails anyway.

Just grow up and act like an adult, the over-the-top whining by you, doesn't fit the crimes, you're laying it on too thick.

What are you going to do if Mark Pope gets fired? Start over with a new username? I bet you'll crush the next coach too, but you'll be easy to spot.

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

Are there really people that think what some people say on a message board is the end all be all?

Brother, I’ve been preaching this very thing for the 2+ years I’ve been here. The moment this board realizes this is a community of fans in an echo chamber enjoying one another’s takes rather than a direct line to the administrative office, we’d all be happier. 90% of the arguing on the board is due to idiocy — some of these people literally think 6 more likes on an comment leads to the results we’ve all been waiting for. They don’t, so just be kind.

 

[RunninRichie]

I mean, you did the same to Calipari for about 5 years.

No you can’t. My point is no big job or big brand is gonna hire a person with no résumé without accomplishments.

 

[Resignmarkpope]

Mark pope is no Coach Cal! Heck cal just won at Arkansas in year2

If pope is fired? It would be an amazing day. I would start by going celebrating probably at Jeff’s probably and then probably Retired from Rupp rafters you know we gotta get that POS out of here! I did what I can do my advertising

 

[kyjeff1]

I called him out for caring more about draft picks than UK basketball and I was right, but I also gave him credit when it was due.
But I never referred to us as "Kentucky Hoosiers", that's bs.

It’s almost as if they really want to win games or something. Ya know, like normal fans. It’s gotta be tough on you when one of your favorite narratives collapses, amirite sport?

Wow what an ironic post from the chief instigator.
