    Face it, BBN should have supported and kept Cal

    I was in the “careful what you wish for” camp and got called a Cal lover. I would much rather have Cal than Pope right now if being honest, but had grown tired of/apathetic to Cal by the end of his tenure. 9-16 alienated me, Saint Peters pissed me off and Oakland turned me to a loud detractor.

    Another Stat About 20+ Point Losses at Kentucky | Calipari vs Pope

    I could’ve sworn Cal had more than 4, but some of the games I thought were really bad we apparently made a late surge to only lose by 17 or so. I clearly remember losing by 30 at UT in 2013 and getting taken to the woodshed badly at Alabama in 2023. Bad look for Pope and a sign he ain’t the guy.

    BB: No presser today. Why is Pope hiding?

    Maybe yesterday’s practice was so “bloody” that everyone, including him, is hospitalized.

    Bruce Pearl

    Pearl is just a carnival barking jackass in my opinion. His teams play hard and stupid. Shot selection is usually complete trash. I have always viewed him as a scumbag no matter where he coached. If he didn’t make the 2019 Final Four his career isn’t super impressive in terms of postseason...

    Legit question: Has anybody here watched a Kentucky practice?

    The team starts with stretching and light cardio before moving into individual drills. They then share two emotional vulnerabilities and practice trust falling at midcourt for 25 minutes. After a juice box and orange slices, Pope reads them a story about this sacred cloth. Next they practice...

    Apathy

    I have been apathetic most of the decade if being honest. COVID team aside, 2022 and 2024 were the only times I felt we were even close to a national contender and … Pope did better in the postseason than both of those teams every year he’s been here (and that’s not a compliment to Pope). I...

    Pope and UK are the hit Kings

    It wasn’t losing. It’s the manner in which we lost. I think some of us could’ve lived with it a little bit if we lost by 4 instead of 20. We deserve the beating we’re taking today. I love Mark Pope the person and hope we don’t lose another game this season and he ends up becoming the greatest...

    Fire Pope right now! Why wait?

    Exactly. Backchannels could very well be worked starting today to gauge interest from other coaches, but an in-season firing isn’t happening o considering our new AD was previously worked at ACC and Big Ten schools and never fired a coach in-season. I got called a Pope Pumper last year for...

    Pope fired yet?

    See you next October! (J Batt has never fired a coach in season at Ga. Tech or MSU)

    Guy is a 6-10 minute role player who should only shoot layups and dunks in the form of putbacks. No post moves please.

    BB: What kind of record will UK have at end of season?

    Agree. We’ll win 1-2 we’re heavy underdogs in, we’ll lose 1-2 where we’re double digits favorites and we’ll get our asses handed to us by 20+ at least 3 more times, probably on national TV.

    Who should we hire next?

    The thing is, and some of y’all gonna hate hearing this, the fanbase is so toxic no coach with a history of proven sustained success wants this job. It’s not worth the hassle. We got incredibly lucky Cal wanted the gig badly in 2009. Our searches in 2007 and 2024 will be the norm moving...

    I think fans are going to love Pope's teams

    Why are we doing this?

    BB: What kind of record will UK have at end of season?

    I’ll go 22-13, 10th in SEC, lose Thursday of SECT, 9 seed. 1-1 in SECT 1-1 in NCAAs

    Can’t wait to hear Leach and Goose

    Expecting ranting and raving and calling for firings from the … checks notes … official UK radio guys who are literally paid by the University of Kentucky is a level of delusion rarely seen.
