Will you watch our next game?
- Thread starter Ash Williams
- Start date
I have zero plans of watching tomorrow night. Have a date night with my wife. I honestly doubt I watch any of our remaining games against the popcorn states of the world. Those games are boring enough as it is (even when teams play us better than they should) but then you add in the pope coached **** show it is just a waste of time.
Not as long as He is coaching and I never thought I would say that...Been a fan since 1975 and watched from Joe B.. till now and Tuesday night was it for me and this Clown Show..
Nope! Life is to short to watch a Mark Pope coached team.
That and I'm not paying 30 dollars a month for the ESPN app to watch a Mark Pope team. Unsubscribed last year after the Gonzaga game.

Ill play ps5 or rewatch breaking bad for 20th time and keep up with the cupcake fiesta on my phone only.
I have been a KY fan for 62 years and I will support and watch my team play. I'm not happy with how things are going but it will not stop me from watching them play.
Yes because I’m not a fair weather chicken little like some of yall.
Nothing has changed for me. I will always watch Kentucky games, both basketball and football, unless I have something better to do.
Typically, that is going to occasional concerts with gameday conflicts. I can always watch the reply ... and usually do. GO CATS !!

It is a Friday night, sorry your life is so dull you have nothing else better to do. Hope things pick up for you.
I’m a 67 year old lifetime fan of the Big Blue, I voted not watching, the way I felt after Tuesday night’s debacle was a first for me. There have been other recent terrible games but I finally realized that Pope just doesn’t have any answers. I frequent this board but don’t normally pick sides in the fire or keep Pope debate but something has to change and change soon. The only word I can use after Tuesday night is embarrassed.
I will. I will root for a win. I will hope there is an epiphany with the team/Pope. will try to take away positives. But deep down it is obvious to me how this season is going to play out and it sucks because I always look forward to UK games. Still plan trips with my “kids” still who are now grown adults.
The players on UK with talent have no real Alpha in them and players with mid-major level talent (which is still damn good but not good enough) think they are Alphas.
The coach has zero respect from players, opponents or media. There is nobody coaching these players up and making them better. Mark Fox-a failure as a coach at all levels-is the defensive ”guru”.
I hoped for a fairytale with Pope. What UK fan wouldn‘t have wanted this to succeed? But if you want a fairytale you better turn to Disney.

Hell yeah I’ll watch it. Watch win lose or draw. Good times bad times. Makes a fan.
Easy to bail out or make excuses during the rough times but those
part time fans don’t experience the same high level satisfaction of those that ride with the brand all along the journey when it’s good.. which in MBB has been too long.
3rd game. Early. Make changes Pope. Go with a 3 guard offense and more traditional o sets with low block post. Use the zone. Kick some ***.

Too many better things to do than watch what the pathetic mess that Kentucky has become. What's really difficult is admitting that Tennessee is now superior to Kentucky. They smoked us in football and I don't see any way that the team from Tuesday night beats them.in basketball. If they give us another 20 point *** kicking then it's clear they are the superior school.
Yeah, it's likely an Arkansas troll.
Cal has 1 Title in 40 years of being a head coach, while having overwhelming talent.
It's easy to win Football games at home, when you can pipe in crowd noise through the PA system to keep the opposing team from communicating and running plays.
Your post is incorrect as well though. He hasn't had overwhelming talent for 40 years.
No one wants him back but even I know that is hyperbole.
99% of Cal's teams were stacked with NBA All Stars. Yet he always found a way to choke in the tournament.
ROFL delusional and high on copium I see. They destroyed us and if your argument is that it's easy to win at home then why did we get completely humiliated by Alabama? Did our sound system just go out in the second half lol?
GTA 6 is coming at a pretty nice time with UK basketball sucking a*s. Lol
Yes and I will laugh when UK win easily and the media is like "ok, that's better . There we go". Sheesh. You are not better when you beat up the school of the blind after getting smoked by Kansas.
Of course- Ky basketball is bigger than Mark Pope.
Being on a site like this discussing Ky Hoops & saying you won’t watch is an oxymoron.
Its like a 10 yr old threatening to run away from home. grow up.

Anyone posting in this forum is not a casual fan. we are all watching, stop lying. Casual fans won't.
Yss, despite my feelings about a Pope lead program, I am an adult and will always root on the CATS!
Yes because it's tradition for me and it's like slowing down at a car accident . You cant look away
Nothing would make me miss Calipari. As bad as things are, I still have zero desire to go back to the bs that first sapped my interest & induced my apathy. I’ve been halfway checked out since like 2019 & have struggled to watch entire games, ever since. So, nothing will likely change this season. I’ll watch, or, at least try to watch. But, my attention span & expectations will be extremely low.
Like most everyone here, I don’t think I missed one second of a game from 1978-2018. I planned my life around the schedule & even chose UK basketball over a fiancé when I was given a bs ultimatum. No regrets, the 2005 region final against MSU was the game in question.
I’m hopeful that at some point in the near future we will hire the right guy & bring the program & my interest back to where they should be. But, I also hate the state of the game, currently. So, idk if I’ll ever regain the same level of interest & enjoyment that I had for most of my life. UK returning to form sure would help. But, I might be too far gone at this point. Sucks.
