This is not the same game that I grew up with and Kentucky is completely irrelevant. The players are just hired mercenaries. I can hardly recognize the game as it is now. I am actually more upset when UK loses in football than they do in basketball, I could’ve never imagined that a 20 point beat down to Kansas would not even bother me in the least. Sad state of affairs. I did not even know that there was a game tonight until midway through the second half and we were already down 17. I even had tickets to a couple of games and wrapped this year and I turned them down because I no longer want to attend UK games. Never could’ve imagined turning down UK tickets but here we are.
Is It Wrong To Not Care Anymore?

I haven't cared in years. I just like to complain
Pope has stripped the love from a lot of fans. It’ll come back when he’s gone and they’re legit contenders again.
Winning cures all. Heard the same when Stoops was here. Pope has to go.
Nope. I got so upset during the UK loss at UT this last weekend, I mean heated heated, haven't been that heated since 2015 ... I sat here tonight and just watched. Shaking my head, not even upset.
Pope has to go. Now. STOP GOING TO GAMES UNTIL HE IS GONE.

I don't care. Long gone are the days of being mad or upset. Apathy has set in.
I do watch and laugh at just how far the program has fallen.
All it takes is a great coach to bring the passion back.
Heck, I'm more nervous and pacing with the football team. The basketball team? I just watch and laugh and count the days when it's day 1 for the next coach.

I agree, I had already given up on Kentucky ever again being relevant or a contender in basketball. It's just one more step to realize that they are now garbage and not worth investing any time in.
People get upset and say **** about lowering expectations but after tonight how can you not?

I have been a Kentucky basketball fan for over 60 years but I have lost the passion I had .
No. At this point its wrong to care. Will make you physically ill like i am right now. Pope has to go. Can we please come up with a plan as a fanbase instead of saying it will never happen. What can we do?
How do we make noise? How do we make espn with how disgusted we are. We need to make some noise!! Stand up for the program. Popes feelings can get fukd.

When the Athletic Department doesn’t care, why should the fans?
I want to change my username but I don't even care enough to do it. I do know that I want Pope gone ASAP.
Yeah I don’t get mad anymore cause I expect to lose vs a real team. Sad to see where this program is and now I get more fired up over football cause they actually have a chance to win and do something.
Right, you’re on a message board at 12:30 am on a Tuesday because you don’t care.
and if you truly don’t care, then shut the hell up. What kind of fake *** fan doesn’t care? Fire pope tomorrow

I care. Probably way too much. It needs to end tonight. Batt needs to make a move immediately. There’s zero excuse for this time after time.
I don’t think thats 100% Pope, Cal had a lot to do with it. The part I don’t get is how he came in as an offensive guy and now his teams struggle so bad.
Don’t care at all at the moment which is what happens when you know you’re mediocre. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch all their Games this year as I’m certainly not planning my day around their schedule. Pope needs to resign and if he won’t he needs to be fired. Uk basketball is a joke now. People need to stop going to games, demand change. This is UK and not acceptable. Let Pope know he is no longer welcome here, make him want out.
If you ever watched a game on a television in a cabinet or listened to a game on the radio with your grandparents then, yes, it is wrong. It is betrayal and you will go to hell when you die.
if your Kentucky basketball tenure started with John Wall, then you’re free to tap out.

I’ll always care. But I’m not going to put any emotional or mental energy into this program until Pope is gone and we make a good hire.
Well to make noise with ESPN and UK. Stop watching any UK game. In person or on ESPN. When it starts hitting the money. Change will follow. But as long as UK is the top viewed basketball team. One of the most profitable teams. Why do they see a need for change ??? Afterall iit is all about money to them.
Im sure they care. Just like i care. Morehead State has a chance to win the title every year. Just like UK does. Then the season starts. Uk has the same chance of winning the title (any title) this year as Morehead State has. 0% and that is sad. so so so very sad.
What really bothers me is for as much as Pope tells everyone he cares, he sure as heck doesn’t show it. And neither do his players. He’s all about playing for the front of the jersey yet he’s hired more mercenaries in his three seasons than Cal ever did.
As of lately, im only interested in Football and the women's team. I have tickets to 4 of the women's games. They are fun to watch, and almost remind me of the UK teams that Pitino had. Plus you can get really good seats for 15 or 20 bucks. No reason to pay $400 a pop to watch the men embarrass themselves.
IMO, no it isn't wrong. We grew up in an era where college athletics was much more about the school and getting to know the players. The sport has not responded in kind. These players don't have any idea who the fans are, nor do they care. It's all about me, me, me, money, money, money. It's a slap in the face to the other students who ARE there to earn an education and ARE better at the studying thing than the athletes are. I think many fans feel this way more than they care to admit. Pope would not want to get fired, but at the end of the day he'll earn more in a year than ALL of us here on RR will earn in many years. He'll walk away with a wagon-load of money and head off on his next adventure, likely back in Utah. Even at the professional level, it used to be about the personalities, and the competitiveness. Now it's about the contracts, the brand, the politics, the clowns.
Watching multimillionaires getting destroyed on the court tends to make the game less enjoyable.
I’m 55 and life long fan, I care a lot. I would like to know that the team I’ve followed since childhood is in good hands when I leave this world. Now, I’m not going to pile on since I was totally against the hire from the start. I’m sure there are fans that feel the same way as myself.
Yes, it is wrong. We should demand excellence and expect nothing but excellence. That is the established standard here and if the present coach isn't achieving it, that means the present coach sucks and needs to be fired. It is blasphemy to even suggest we ever become okay with mediocrity. Screw that!
