It’s whining when it is the same people every day in every thread they post in.

It's also whining when they refuse to say anything positive at all and when we bring up the positive things, they respond with negative remarks that are meant to discredit the positives.

Anon is a whiner, pure and simple. He refuses to say anything positive. He's obviously a miserable stick in the mud.

All the guys defending Pope, have zero issues with calling out his faults and the bad losses. That's the difference.

It's fine if you want to debate, but it becomes ridiculous when the complainer refuses to acknowledge any if the positive things and claims the program is BCG level bad (not even close) and everyone is laughing at UK (no proof of this).

Who's making fun of the program? Post the comments.

All you've done in this thread is b*tch and moan and act like this is the worst UK has ever been. It's not even close to that.

Truth is, the SEC has been incredibly difficult the last 2 years and UK has battled injuries. Also, the unbalanced schedules make a difference. We had a tougher SEC schedule than most of the other teams.

But still, you're focusing on Pope's 2nd year and acting like that's what he did both years here. Why won't you put any focus on year 1? Look at the wins in year 1 with a hobbled pg, lost Robinson, lost Kriisa and Car was maybe 80%.

Maybe you should go root for Arkansas, or duke, because you damn sure aren’t a UK fan, that's obvious.
I'm a UK fan and sorry it's not fun right now because we suck. I'm not sorry that I can't be overly positive like y'all. Id rather go the route of the governor and call it what it is. A disgrace.

Get a coach that wins big and gives us a shot a at least competing for a championship and you'll see me cheer.

And you actually got me all messed up. You don't like what I said here and there and act like I'm all negative. You and your two other amigos are trying way to hard when I have some of the most common sense takes on here. If you disagree with them that's fine but to act like I'm just overly negative is completely false.

Y'all keep trying to push a narrative. Everyone knows my post style and everyone knows yours. I'm direct with anything I say. You're the only one cussing me constantly trying to get a reaction. You won't get one from me on the internet little fella.

Looks to me like YOU'RE the troublemaker. Cowboy is being positive, all you're doing here is crapping on our program.

WTF? No. Where did you get this ridiculous standard?
This isn’t the crappy SEC that Cal played in, where only 4 teams made the tournament.
The SEC set the record for the amount of teams in the tournament last year and almost got the same amount this year.
A bad year at UK, is still an NIT season, not 2nd place in a conference like the SEC has been the last 2 years.
What a ridiculous statement.
Our SOS was 4th this year and 3rd last year. Most teams would be close to last place in a league like the SEC with the injuries UK had the last 2 years.

Recruiting is at an all time embarrassment? Did you just recently become a fan? My how we forget BCG recruiting 6th graders, Vinny Zollo and Dakota Euton. Nice hyperbole though. 👎

Interesting, I didn't have to start a new account after the changeover.
The only thing I disagree with is EVERYTHING you said. I repeat it in kindergarten language so you may be able to understand it.

1- Cowboy is a total pr*ck.
2- This may not be Cal’s SEC but we should be in the hunt most every year and we’re not even close.
3- I couldn’t care less if you did’t have to change your user name … I did. I was champcat11 and I’ve posted for many years.

Lastly, you are clueless.

Year one wasnt great. Y'all act like it was good because we won some big games. We got spanked several games also. Got spanked in the tournament. And yes im Going to focus on year two more than year one like I'll focus on year three more than year two. Y'all can't see the trajectory? Y'all just rather say I'm bitching and moaning?

I feel y'all keep saying things like that trying to attack me to get me to say something crazy.... I'll keep saying my same opinion. It won't change. Call it bitching and moaning all you want. Kentucky still sucks at the moment.

Y'all want to get so personal with me but give it a break. Just talk UK. Y'all quit riding my dick so hard seriously... Y'all think we are in a good position with Pope and company. I dont. I don't get why y'all keep coming at me with the weirdo stuff.

If we did a poll on this topic I would bet money more people would be on my side. But noooo y'all keep coming for me just because y'all can't accept anything other than what you think. I don't attack anyone for having an opinion. Weirdo behavior.

But then I found out it was mainly because Andy is my avatar. And again I ask was he bitching and moaning for calling it out? I mean the governor has to call out corruption but y'all say I'm bitching and moaning. The oddest thing man.
Do you get paid to complain? Sure seems like it.

Year 1 was absolutely a success. Against a top 3 SOS, we got a 3 seed and a sweet 16. Yeah, there were some downs, but in year 1, with no roster so late in the year, that is absolutely a success.

What we just saw this year, was Pope at his worst. Without a PG, he still got a 7 seed and won a game, can you find any ither coach that, at his worst, still made the tournament and won a game?

Nah, you're not a UK fan. You’re a fan of winning titles and it’s obvioys you bacame a UK fan in 2012 and that's your standard.

You would do your mental health a huge favor by just picking a new favorite team every year. Find out who the best teams are and pick one. It’s the only way you're going to be happy.

It’s not just you, I’ve been attacked for saying this roster isn’t good enough to win the SEC and some of these guys are going crazy about it. That’s the common judgment by a lot of people with our roster at this point. I’m not sure why they can’t look at our roster and see that themselves.

...bro. We finished 9th last year. 9th. This is easily a worse team than that.

Yeah, that’s all I’ve said and a few are mad at me for saying what I feel like is common sense at this point. Paul Calhoun tried to say that if Kam Williams would have stayed healthy, we had a chance to win the SEC last season. I don’t understand where some of these guys are coming from when they discuss the team. It makes no sense.

I'm so tired of hearing about injuries...
We got routed by Iowa State...when they were missing their actual best player. We had injuries to, let's be honest:
  • a guy who we recruited while he was injured, and who was barely a member of the team
  • a wing who was decent but definitely not a big needle mover (unless we were playing Bellarmine)
  • a PG who is far below the Kentucky standard and never made us any better when he was playing

Quit bitching and moaning. You're not a real fan if you aren't overly positive about everything. Don't have a realistic outlook on it you sissy whining *****. Don't state the obvious. Live in denial and cheer on mediocrity.

Jk man thanks for using some damn common sense. Those guys reached troll level a long time ago. Monday Nitro doesn't even come for me anymore.

Oh yea we didn't finish ninth. We tied for seventh! Making us the ninth seed because we really didn't tie for seventh we just had the same record as a couple teams but somehow they got a better seed than us. Can't have multiple seven seeds can ya. So we didn't finish ninth we finished seventh! The UK way. You better celebrate finishing middle of the pack.

This ^ is the perfect example of why you are clueless. I don’t usually even look at the poster in these threads. Obviously I can see when Cowboy posts because he’s a moronic POS. I don’t know Anot or how he posts so you might as well leave him out of it. If he posts like you or Cowgirl I’ll reply to him the same way. Pope could commit murder and you and Cowboy would post his bail. That’s because you guys are not bright. Now go get that pink dress from your boyfriend and put on a good show.

"SEC was easy back then".

Ok soo...now that it's harder, we just have to accept playing 2nd fiddle to Bama, Florida, Arkansas, f*cking Vandy?!?!? Make it make sense. Barnhart loser mentality has infected the fans

We should be on top of the conference, or vying for the top spot at least. Whether it's the best conference ever or mid-major level bad. If we're not...then what exactly is UK basketball? It may be a program with some good years, but sure is no longer "the greatest tradition in the history of college basketball". Not if we keep accepting these results

They keep acting like I'm exaggerating or something. You can literally say what the season was and it sounds terrible. Of course I say that based off of the tradition I grew up knowing and a standard that I grew up knowing. We are Kentucky not Tennessee who hasn't been to a final four ever.

I dont expect a championship every year. I do expect to have a chance. I do expect to not get destroyed by Tennessee in the tournament. I do expect to not get destroyed by Iowa State in the tournament.....I expect to have a chance is all. Not to go 40-0 even tho our previous coach almost did that here. I want UK to have a season where they win big games and when they lose its a close one.

The big wins mean nothing to me when you turn around and get punked the next 3 out of five games.

You can only let it go for so long, it's annoying as h*ll.

It's been 8 straight months of the same tired crap by dudes that are either not actually UK fans, or dudes that became UK fans in 2010, but conveniently have amnesia when it comes to 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021 and the endings to 2023 and 2024.

Don't say you're a 50 year fan and this is the worst time in UK history. That's just false.

Saying Pope is the worst coach in the history of UKBB is 100% false and fabricated by the people on this board.
Saying Pope never developed any players is also false.

It's not the loss to Iowa state that is being blamed in the injuries. You know this, but you're trying to add flavor to your message.

It’s the losses to uNC, Missouri, UGA, Alabama, Auburn etc…

This team doesn't have 14 losses at full strength. This is a fact and if Lowe and JQ don’t play in the SJ game, that's 15 losses.

Who gives a rip if he didn't win an NCAAT game before coming to UK? What does that matter? He now has 3 wins, so you don't have a point.

Who cares how we won the game, UK has lost more than it's fair share of games that way.

Popes the only one keeping negative momentum going. Don't blame me man I'm just a benny. Maybe you know a lot of posters enjoy my post even if they disagree with everything I say.

I've said plenty of positive things. You sir want me to get negative. I won't do it. I've been saying Pope sucks for ages but that's just one topic. I say positive stuff all the time.


If it's good I'll say good if it's bad I'll say bad. I can't fake it tho. You want me to go into troll mode so bad but I'll continue to have a conversation as long as you like buddy

All in all I want UK basketball to be respected. To win. Don't gotta win the championship every year. Just be respected. Not tied for seventh. Im sorry if that's to negative for you buddy

Don't worry bout me so much partner. But if you got enough money I'll come do some dirty stuff to you. I mean I assume you go that way as much as you stay on my nuts. why do I bother you so bad when I don't attack you
Hmm, we're simply having a conversation. Way to make it weird.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha this from the guy who makes false accusations and then runs away like a little ***** when he's called out to back up his claims.

You still have yet to produce one quote of me calling Pope names.

You're a little child. YOU are the one who can't back up YOUR claims, so YOU should STFU.

Your rules, chump.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Little boy.
I don't need to produce anything. The post I made to you was a generalization of how you guys are attacking Pope. Calling the guy "Mark Dope" is ridiculous. That's what I said. I didn’t say you, yourself said it.

But either way, by the looks of it, you don't need proof. You can just focus on the negative and refuse to admit anything positive.

But keep up the good work Ashtray.
