"players only" meeting coming after 3 game of the season.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

The biggest question is. Will J. Batt have the balls if this game is any indication for the rest of the games this year to fire his *** mid season?

Or

Wait it out and let him go?

Or

Is J. Batt another Mitch and will keep Pope around for another year?

Not one of us knows. We will find out.

Sadly, I don't know if a mid-season firing is a good idea. Puts a lot of spotlight on us, and it for sure means Kansas is going to not only pass us in wins, but probably go +7.

I sort of think you have to rid it out, as bad as I want Pope gone as well.

But we should ABSOLUTELY be making a catalog of what coaches to go after.

 

[SECualHealing]

Played so bad the make a wish kids get to come in and play

 

[ChiefPaducah]

I think most fans realize you had to give him a third year. I think few thought he could turn it around, but hoped he would. That is the reality.

This was me. Had they fired him at the end of last season I would have been A-OK but I also sort of understood giving him a third year. But he’s cooked. I loved him as a player, he isn’t the right coach.

 

[Anon1739778738]

You popetts should meet the team at the airport and cheer and shake pom poms ******* morons

 

[kywildcat1021979]

89-69 totally embarrassing Pope shame on you again...

 

[Colts240]

This team will have a losing record and miss the tourney

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pope played 12 down players in this game...

Lol..wtf? Who plays 12 ******* players?

Him and his stupid ******* substitution patterns.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Horsehit team, Pope. Thx!

 

[katwest]

Pug nose stokes was driving to the basket with just a few seconds left, what a punk. He will get his, hope I see it.

 

[bpsteve1972]

 

[kfwa]

who do we play next ?

never mind, who cares

 

[fisherscatfan]

Why do

"players only" meeting coming after 3 game of the season.

Well there aren’t any coaches that are capable of doing anything.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

I was hoping this season would at least be as fun as year 1, which isn’t asking a lot. This will set the tone for the rest of the year. To not even be competitive, not much to say

 

[MbergCat]

Also, tonight is the last time we will sniff the top 25 this season. November 10th. Unf'nbelievable.

 

[UKCowboys]

I’d fire Pope tonight and give the interim to Williams.

Williams would be an interesting guy to give an interim run to

 

[crxohio]

I didnt loose respect for pope for losing, I lost respect for him because he hasn't resigned. Own up.

 

[ala_kat2]

Moreno had good 2nd half after the game was already decided. Team cannot create for each other, just too much 1 on 1 scoring. Kansas is good.

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

Pope should be ******* ashamed

 

[RunninRichie]

If Pope is a “nice guy” and “stewart for the program”, he will resign.

 

[BluWildcatz]

Were there a lot of fans? I didn't see very many.

 

[Colts240]

Pug nose stokes was driving to the basket with just a few seconds left, what a punk. He will get his, hope I see it.

He had his game for the year won’t do anything close again

 

[OmahaJhawk]

Kansas lost to Louisville at home. Exactly.

This KU team is the best Bill has had in 4 years- we’re really talking about an exhibition game.. This is a FF team, let’s not be silly. Ps- our 4th best player just put up 30 on yall.

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

Stokes and Kinney are FROM Kentucjy

 

[RunninRichie]

This KU team is the best Bill has had in 4 years- we’re really talking about an exhibition game.. This is a FF team, let’s not be silly.

You said that last year too

 

[Colts240]

Usually Kentucky fans take over these events didn’t look like many there, everyone is tired of pope being here, make it end

 

[LineSkiCat14]

So year 1 really was a fluke. It was a combination of:

1. Nearly half the team as 5 and 4-year seniors.
2. Cooper Flagg forgetting how to dribble.
3. Using the SEC, albeit a great conference showing, as an excuse to have 12 losses.

 

[kfwa]

Were there a lot of fans? I didn't see very many.

 

[Catastic5]

It’ll look pretty bad at home too.

 

[megablue]

Off Topic: Why did Pope wear a suit tonight, when his entire staff and the coaches and staffs for the other three (3) teams all wore matching sweats ??

 

[Ecthelion of the Fountain]

WTF was Stokes talking about? UK recruited him as hard as anybody.

 

[crxohio]

Stokes and Kinney are FROM Kentucjy

Unacceptable losses on and off the court. Tonight and recruiting.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I said we would lose by 12 in the pre game thread, I should have know it would be a blowout.

 

[mash_24]

This needs to end tonight. Some things you give time. Playing unmotivated stupid basketball game after game is not one of them. Bring Donovan in to set the program straight. Do something now Batt.

 

[MichaelGray]

What kills me is they just stand there & let guys shoot the 3 without even trying to defend.

 

[BluWildcatz]

This KU team is the best Bill has had in 4 years- we’re really talking about an exhibition game.. This is a FF team, let’s not be silly.

SYBAU. We're going to steal whoever you all want to replace Self with midway through the season. Long term thinking, son.

 

[Catastic5]

Were there a lot of fans? I didn't see very many.

Batt really shouldn’t ignore the fans’ lack of enthusiasm. No matter what the smoke blowers think, most Kentucky fans are already checked out on the Pope era.

 

[MbergCat]

Moreno had good 2nd half after the game was already decided. Team cannot create for each other, just too much 1 on 1 scoring. Kansas is good.

Kansas is decent. Louisville smacked their ***. We are just really, really bad. 2020 team beats this group.

 

[HolySmokes]

The sad part is Kansas isnt that great of a team. we are just terrible. James Madison punked us most of the game. Pope is soft. His teams are soft. Touch money. Ferrari. On the beach with a straight flush of cards and a martini? Dork.

I don't see Pope getting fired mid-season...unfortunately
