I'm telling you, he might not be formally fired by February, but it will be the worst kept secret by then. The next AD and others will be planning his replacement, looking at which coaches are on the rise, making a plan, etc etc.. all while we are getting stomped on by South Carolina mid SEC play. I truly believe we will be at 12 losses by then and out of the tournament.

Tournament expansion to 76 makes it pretty hard to miss . That would be really bad. I say we make it in.

Why would anyone besides a pathetic masochist even put time and energy into the program this year? If you literally have anything else going on in your life other than Kentucky basketball why would you subject yourself to what this year is going to be?

There must be a money issue on top of Pope's own issues. Donors may be quiet quitting on Pope with Donovan on the horizon. Better days are ahead.

They’re on here everyday. You can’t believe it, I can’t believe it, but everyone has their own opinion and that’s cool.




How can a fan not want Pope to succeed, he is still our fkn coach. Until he subs the next player that is hot, I'm not cursing him again 😠
