    No panic here

    Going into SEC play my expectation was 11-7 in conference. After 5 games I think 12-6 with a 9-9 floor and 14-4 ceiling. No panic here

    First Cal era like game under Pope

    I don’t believe that coaches need to put players on blast in public, but one of my very few concerns with CMP is whether he’s too close to his players. There’s a reason bosses don’t typically socialize with their subordinates, and officers don’t fraternize with enlisted… it puts good order and...

    Only Pope and Rupp

    Some more context? I assume this means first to top 10 opponents as head coach at Kentucky.

    Worse than Cal

    At least 10 of those “likes” are laugh reacts and I’m guessing most of those are laughing at this post, not at CMP and the Cats

    Stats: Scoring 100 in a game

    Rupp’s teams scored 100+ 103 times and 80 times in his last 10 seasons, and never had a shot clock or a 3 point line.

    ******Game Thread GA ST vs UK********

    I say the offense worked how it’s supposed to… when we’re not making 3s we beat them inside the arc. On the season we take 44% of our shots from 3 point range and make 40% (.399) and we shoot 58% (.585) inside the arc. That means a 3 point shot is more efficient than a 2 point shot (1.197 vs...

    For you old timers, Whatever happened to Larry Johnson who played PG for us from 1973-1977

    Larry Johnson was a good player. I think he's not as well remembered as other players from that era because he was the only starter on that squad to never win an NCAA title. He was one of just two scholarship seniors on that team (Merion Haskins was the other) so he missed the 1978...

    Old timers

    These guys were a little before my time, but I know the names... I just turned 11 when the Cats beat Duke in St. Louis in 78 ... learned to hate UNC and Dean Smith in 77... went to my first game in 76 in Memorial and wondered why the fans kept booing one of our players until my Dad explained...

    UK avg 101.5 ppg

    I like the start. I hope this season doesn’t end up as mediocre and disappointing. I definitely think we have the talent, depth, and coaching (no knock on CJBH) to be successful but their first real test is coming up.

    Coach pope... Human interest story

    I don’t know about stupid, but FEBUK isn’t actually a generic for every ex-UK coach. Nobody uses it to refer to Tubby or BCG. I’m pretty sure it originated as a way to refer to RP without saying his name after he took the Louisville job.

    From a BYU fan

    The roadblocks are real, however, there are also some advantages. Most of the Mormon Players go on a two year religious mission, which means the roster tends to be older and more mature. They draw from Mormon communities around the world. More so in football than basketball the population of...
