    Kustarica to UCLA

    Hubert Davis and Mich Cronin have both been on the doorstep of a title and look what UConn did in 2014 with a terrible coach. Pope's system is not the issue, you have to have good players that get hot and when I say "good", history has proven that most of the time, those players end up being...

    Kustarica to UCLA

    Finish the sentence. If Mark Pope mass substitutes after the first 5 minutes of play this year I'm going to.....

    It comes down to how well the team is playing in that moment. If we're at the 15 minute mark and we have 4 points and some of the guys are showing signs of fatigue, okay, but I still don't think we have enough good depth to mass sub when we're playing top 10 teams. Play your best players as...

    Jeez man, go find a girlfriend. Holy moly.

    Tundras are grocery getters, sounds like you have one, which makes perfect sense.

    If Kentucky misses on Kusturica.

    Oh yeah, you're going to get upset, but when you look at the programs that are good each year, it doesn't happen very often to them. It's happening way too often here and it happened way too often at the back end of Cal's tenure. But unlike Cal, Pope isn’t losing to mid majors. And yes, Pope's...

    If Kentucky misses on Kusturica.

    Yeah, but it shouldn't have been close enough to matter. When you're good enough to win at Gonzaga, beat Florida, beat duke and win at Tennessee, who is extremely physical, you can't lose to Mike White and Georgia. Just yuck.

    Red Cards ruin the World Cup

    Yeah and if you're going to give a red card, knowing how steep of a penalty that is, that play isn’t one you red card someone for. A red card should be for malicious acts, that was far from it. I watched the Ecuador game last week. It was a great game, forget who they were playing, but they...

    Roush being stupid again. I know I know. What else is new?

    😂 when he talks, I hear Garfield the cat's owner, John Arbuckle. Sounds just like him.

    Donnie Freeman out for the season. Achilles injury

    I'm a friend of SOS, we are usually on the same side, so I'm not going to say anything negative about him on this, but a lot of people were all over Pope for refusing to overpay for this guy. Pope learned his lesson, he overpaid for almost every player last year.

    If Kentucky misses on Kusturica.

    I think Mark's system works, 24/25 proved it, but that team got too banged up at key positions. Even then though, they lost games they should have easily won. The Ohio State game is still a head scratcher to me. Pope needs to find a way to sustain success. You can't beat duke, then get drubbed...

    Donnie Freeman out for the season. Achilles injury

    And a ton of dudes on here attacked Pope because he didn't throw a massive bag at this guy, who gets injured every time he gets out of bed. I hate it for the kid, but anyone that paid big money for him, is a fool. I hate to say that about RP, but he seriously overpaid for an injury probe player...

    If Kentucky misses on Kusturica.

    I think this team will be better than the Butler/Amari/Carr team, but they need to stay healthy. But in today's world, with all the money being paid out, programs like UK can't give Pope a long runway. He needs to put up this year. If he doesn't, it needs to be over and this is coming from a...

    Not really, he didn't sub like that his first season here.

    If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it… . UK has the stage, UCLA is in the shadows and nobody even knows they're there.
