Yeah, that's false.No one is bashing Pope the man. We're bashing Pope the coach.
They're two very different things and for some reason a small percentage of fans cant understand that nuance.

Hey man na I actually I won't. If you're that out of the loop there's no need for me to go back and forth with you. UK is all good brother. I hope there are no changes anytime soon.Can you post these opinions by others showing them laughing at UK?
Weird, I don't understand hating someone because they're cheesy, or goofy.Yeah I mean I’ll absolutely cop to it. I strongly dislike Pope as a person. If I knew him personally, I’d do my best to avoid him. He is the embodiment of cringe. It’s dishonest not to admit that.
But that being said if he was doing a good job here, I wouldn’t care about his awful personality. It’s like with Cal. When he started losing, his personality flaws started being the focus of attention. They had been there the whole time but nobody cares as long as you’re winning
Dude that post is unbelievable. It’s always the pope pumpers saying the meanest sh*t and taking shots at peopleI can tell you this. If you talked down to someone to their face like this, you'd have about the same amount of teeth left as a toddler. Drop the condescension. You and the rest of the Barnhart cheerleading squad need to read the room. How did Stoops work out for you?
I said dislike, not hate.Weird, I don't understand hating someone because they're cheesy, or goofy.
Yup and unless we're talking about UConn, or Michigan fans, there is no other fanbase that should be laughing at anything UK is doing right now.Do you have an X account
Unless you mention the injuries to the last t two teams, unless you mention the recruits on the team team he inherited (0), and the restrictions on who to hire by Uk, which. Played into why he took the job your lists mean nothing.1. 0/14 on top 20 recruits.
2. No primary portal recruits in two cycles.
3. 64% career winning percentage.
4. Averaging a 7 1/2 place finish in the SEC in two seasons.
5. Scarce player retention.
6. Historic number of blowout losses.
7. Averaging 16 points per tournament loss while at UK.
8. 26 losses in two years.

If a coach finds that too demanding, he's not the right coach. I can't imagine many coaches turning down say Alabama football because the job is too demanding. If they do, that is the last coach they want to hire. Hint: The "bad fan" narrative isn't the winning strategy you guys seem to think it is.The fanbase as a whole. Coaches can become millionaires anywhere and not deal with fans demanding their heads for a sweet 16 and a round of 32.
You're the one making the claims, at least back up what you're saying, or stfu.Hey man na I actually I won't. If you're that out of the loop there's no need for me to go back and forth with you. UK is all good brother. I hope there are no changes anytime soon.
Lmao.maybe he actually has been finishing on them and that’s why they suddenly ghost us.
I don’t care what people say on here or social media. I just believe that it’s easy to get some people worked up since our program is down at this point. In a perfect world people will act as you describe but that’s not going to happen with any major programs fans.Yup and unless we're talking about UConn, or Michigan fans, there is no other fanbase that should be laughing at anything UK is doing right now.
If Louisville fans are laughing, who cares, we have been kicking their as$es, we own them. Same with UT fans.
Most of the other fanbases out there aren't even invested enough to care.
But in addition, if you're that bothered by what other fans say in social media, you're the problem.
Again, they make fun of UK even when we're winning. That's part of being a UK fan. Opposing fans are going to try to get under your skin, always have, always will.
Paul’s argued with me over Stoops and Pope. I was proven right with Stoops and we will see soon enough about Pope. I’ve got friends that are like him and a few others here with UK coaches. Some are just loyal to them no matter what. I get it, I just don’t do that myself.Speaks volumes about their arrogance, doesn't it?
Dang man you having a bad Monday? You sound pretty fired up tonightYou're the one making the claims, at least back up what you're saying, or stfu.
If we're going to do that, then I can just say Steph Curry just committed to play for UK next year and hope that you'll believe me.
They better stop complaining cause now they are forcing you to complain about that complaining lolAlmost. But not quite
Got to love internet tough guys who constantly whine like small children and have no control over their emotions. Stoops was fired and not once did I ever whine or complain like you spent the entire season doing.I can tell you this. If you talked down to someone to their face like this, you'd have about the same amount of teeth left as a toddler. Drop the condescension. You and the rest of the Barnhart cheerleading squad need to read the room. How did Stoops work out for you?
What did I say that is outrageous? Tell me what you disagree with fck boy. You always got a sissy ahh opinion.You're the one making the claims, at least back up what you're saying, or stfu.
If we're going to do that, then I can just say Steph Curry just committed to play for UK next year and hope that you'll believe me.
We can post indisputable facts and give the links verifying it and you guys refuse to acknowledge it if it doesn't match your hate driven agenda. You can not even concede that schedule difficulty and injuries make a difference. You two regularly claim to know things for certain that are actually just guesses based on extreme bias and then call others arrogant.Speaks volumes about their arrogance, doesn't it?
0/14 on recruits has something to do with injuries?Unless you mention the injuries to the last t two teams, unless you mention the recruits on the team team he inherited (0), and the restrictions on who to hire by Uk, which. Played into why he took the job your lists mean nothing.
These guys need to realize, we're an easy target and we get made fun of by everyone that feels threatened, or anyone that senses a weakness, but even at our lowest point, we still won a game in the tournament, swept Tennessee, won at Arkansas and did it without a true pg and our lottery pick center.I don’t care what people say on here or social media. I just believe that it’s easy to get some people worked up since our program is down at this point. In a perfect world people will act as you describe but that’s not going to happen with any major programs fans.
No, it was a pretty good day. Did you read my post with an angry voice acting as the narrator, or something? I mean, yeah, I told the guy to stfu, but I meant it in the nicest way possible.Dang man you having a bad Monday? You sound pretty fired up tonight
I might need a translator for that post.What did I say that is outrageous? Tell me what you disagree with fck boy. You always got a sissy ahh opinion.
I'm not the one belittling others because I'm hiding behind the safety of internet. Secondly, everyone on here who has been on here any amount of time watched you engage in this same schtick over Stoops. You're just a ukaa loyalist and mouthpiece. Let me clue you in on something. An adult has no problem facing reality and calling it for what it is. Children live in make believe land. And if you want to live in the illusion that everything is fine, I don't care. Have at it. But how dare you demand we all live in denial. We are the grown ups in the room.Got to love internet tough guys who constantly whine like small children and have no control over their emotions. Stoops was fired and not once did I ever whine or complain like you spent the entire season doing.
This is what losing the narrative looks like.We can post indisputable facts and give the links verifying it and you guys refuse to acknowledge it if it doesn't match your hate driven agenda. You can not even concede that schedule difficulty and injuries make a difference. You two regularly claim to know things for certain that are actually just guesses based on extreme bias and then call others arrogant.![]()

We couldn't even get the guy from Baylor. Oats put word out before anyone even asked that he wasn't interested. I don't care what other SEC coaches told Goodman.![]()
SEC BASKETBALL JOB RANKINGS
Jeff Goodman anonymously polls basketball coaches from the SEC to determine the best jobs in the conference.www.on3.com
you need to look at this article, I’m not worried about finding another coach.
I hear you guys using this same line of reasoning for all of your bad behavior. You can bash teenage recruits and 50 year old coaches with equal venom. It's on them if they can't take it. The internet would be so much better if everybody's mother got to read what they write. Y'all keep justifying. We'll see how it turns out.If a coach finds that too demanding, he's not the right coach. I can't imagine many coaches turning down say Alabama football because the job is too demanding. If they do, that is the last coach they want to hire. Hint: The "bad fan" narrative isn't the winning strategy you guys seem to think it is.
Pope sucks. I don't care if he played here. He sucks, period. He can't recruit, plays no defense, and can't get his team prepared to play out of the gates.You people who bash Pope all the time are disgusting. Of anybody deserves more time it’s Pope. Hes one of us! He knows what the program is about! You people have shown no mercy at all!! The guy is down right now and you people keep kicking and kicking him! Disgusting! You make fun of anything he does or doesn’t do, you do your best to destroy the man any way possible.
Do you really think last year would have been as bad had Lowe stayed healthy? No! It wouldn’t have! Both years hes been here Pope has had to deal with injuries that any coach would have struggled with! Instead of kicking him let’s do our best to help him up. the potential was there last year. All you all were talking title after they beat Purdue in the exhibition game.
Pope is not Cal he isn’t going to get all 5 stars like Cal needed to win. Pope needs his style players for his way. Give him a year or two with no injuries and his players and see what happens. Pope cares and he wants what we want. None of you know why a player doesn’t come here there could be any reason other than Pope. Maybe they don’t like Lexington or the style of play or the nil crap or maybe just maybe they hear about fans like you people who turn on someone unfairly. Shame on all you who hate!
F that magic underwear wearing clown! Mark pope is a joke!You people who bash Pope all the time are disgusting. Of anybody deserves more time it’s Pope. Hes one of us!

Smh. Im about to put you in the same category as Bass and Baller Cal. Lmao never thought I’d group you with those two but you’re thereNo, it was a pretty good day. Did you read my post with an angry voice acting as the narrator, or something? I mean, yeah, I told the guy to stfu, but I meant it in the nicest way possible.
Try using Mrs. Doubtfire's voice when you read that post again.
Not hurting my feelings. Pope needs to be ran out of the state of Kentucky. That seems to hurt people's feelings I guess???I might need a translator for that post.
Are you dense? You know exactly what we're talking about. Post these comments you keep talking about, where supposedly we're a laughing stock.
I would love to see what is so horrible. It’s probably the same crap that is said even when we're winning, but you need to let everyone know that Pope needs to go for so many reasons and one of them is all these strangers on the internet are that are hurting your feels.
Yeah, I really don't care how you "group" me.Smh. Im about to put you in the same category as Bass and Baller Cal. Lmao never thought I’d group you with those two but you’re there
Still waiting on all those damning social media posts where people are laughing at us. It would be nice if you backed up what you're saying.Not hurting my feelings. Pope needs to be ran out of the state of Kentucky. That seems to hurt people's feelings I guess???
Pope doesn't deserve ****. He's embarrassing Kentucky and getting paid millions. I work 12 hour shifts every night for fkn bare minimum to provide for my family and can't even take my family to a Kentucky basketball game because when I do we go to Nashville and watch Gonzaga fck us up the *** and not even score a point for the first five minutes of a game and then get booed off the court by his own fans.
Lose by 35 points and no effort was ever made then we get his dorky sad expression like oh no BBN I'm I'm not doing a good job but pretty please don't be mean to me.
Y'all can get tf out of here honestly and fck Pope. He's the worst thing that has ever happened to Kentucky basketball. Making five million a year for this ****.
Nobody is laughing at us man. Kentucky is in good hands. I'm not going back and forth with somebody obviously out of the loop. Said that in the beginning.Still waiting on all those damning social media posts where people are laughing at us. It would be nice if you backed up what you're saying.
Also I've done this with you before. You never say anything. Why don't you have a conversation. Say how you feel about things instead of " prove me so" like a little kid. Have some substance. Have an actual conversation.Still waiting on all those damning social media posts where people are laughing at us. It would be nice if you backed up what you're saying.
Okay, so you made it up. YOU’RE the one that thinks UK is a laughing stock. That definitely makes more sense.Nobody is laughing at us man. Kentucky is in good hands. I'm not going back and forth with somebody obviously out of the loop. Said that in the beginning.
You think UK is good to go. I think they are a laughing stock along with most people. The state of the program is " let's give these guys a chance see what they can do"....
We can respectfully disagree. I don't have to prove to you anything because I'm not on here to go back and forth with anybody. I don't care about proving you wrong or right. I care about UK being good and currently there's no hope. But to each is their own. You like the state of the program that's fine just please quit replying to me because you keep saying prove me and no.... As a grown man I'm not going to go skim social media to please you.
I just watched the entire college basketball season. I seen what I seen. I seen BBN itself boo Pope off the court. You want proof of that I got proof of 20,000 fans booing their own coach off the court but we are all good if blueblooded cat don't create a social media account and go track down some proof. Keep living under a rock.
LOL, I think most would disagree with you. I probably talk too much.Also I've done this with you before. You never say anything. Why don't you have a conversation. Say how you feel about things instead of " prove me so" like a little kid. Have some substance. Have an actual conversation.
Nothing with you lol. But since we're here what is your opinion? Do you honestly think UKs image is good currently?LOL, I think most would disagree with you. I probably talk too much.
Whaddya want to talk about?
So you're asking for proof. Which then would only still be an opinion. We could not win a single game next year and if you feel like we're not a laughing stock then that's your opinion. I couldn't or wouldn't want proof because there's no proof to an opinion.Okay, so you made it up. YOU’RE the one that thinks UK is a laughing stock. That definitely makes more sense.
