Didn't see the game. Postgame on SEC Network they told Golden "We'll ask you about your conversation with Mark Pope some other time" and Golden just shrugged it off.

Pope ”I’m a Rhodes Scholar” TG “well I just schooled you, again, now F off.”

Golden is a much better coach then POPE. He recruited his players and coached them to play unselfish basketball. But Golden must now be considered an elite coach with two consecutive titles in sight. He and Scheyer are fighting for supremacy among the under 45 yo coaches. Pope has a lot to prove especially with player selection.

He backs it up. SEC use to be our conference but now I’m not so sure unfortunately

It’s still ours, a couple down years doesn’t change the fact. We are still the Super Bowl for teams that recently won championships, even in down years, that tells you all you need to know. They know historically, the winning against us doesn’t last long, so they have to soak it up while it lasts.

Enjoy year three. Try not to grit your teeth too much.

Golden told Pope that the next time Florida comes to Rupp to have sugar cookies in the locker room, the gators are tired of chocolate chip.

2018-2026 is more than a few down years

UF does have 3 national titles in the last 25 years to UKs 1. That is a good amount of time.

This better not happen lol, we can’t mess this next hire up……again.
We will. I guarantee we will screw it up. Especially if the new AD is one of Mitch’s guys. Boosters clearly no longer have the power they once did to force someone like Calipari back in 2009.

Why stop at 25 years, why not go with 30 years??? 😂😂😂😂 Your cherry picked years and stats only work on uneducated gator fans. Now, run along child, ya hear? 😁
Ok in 30 years UF has 3 national titles in basketball. That’s still pretty good isn’t it?

You’re not Louisville or anything but you’re not UK either. Children these days just read a headline and run with it with absolutely zero knowledge of the game or history of it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kentucky is a blue blood I get it but me personally I don’t care too much about what happened in the 40s and 50s when I wasn’t alive to actually witness it. Were you? And on top of that college sports is much different now.

With that being said Uk has 4 and UF has 3 titles during my lifetime.
