Tubby was “ sound”. Sound isn’t winning at UK level.
LOL. I've been a Kentucky fan since 1966. What exactly is 'winning at UK level? That stretch of no Final Fours between my first year as a fan and 1975? The championship drought between 1978 and 1996? No Final Four between 1998 and 2011? How about Calipari's run between 2019 and 2024?
And with all that I still consider Kentucky easily the greatest college basketball program of all time, and have loved my lifetime of being a fan.
If this doesn't apply to you, then don't take it personally, but I despise the fakes and bandwagoneers who jumped on with John Wall and Anthony Davis and now spend all their time whining and crying about what they are entitled to every year.
This is almost certainly Pope's last chance -- as it should be. Might as well pull for him and do your own due diligence on the worth of this team instead of spending the next nine months complaining and crying about everything and especially living in some fantasy world that there is some mythical "UK Level" fans are entitled to experience every year.
Not only was that never true, it is less true than ever before under today's reality of building whole new teams out of the portal while competing with 30-40 programs with just as much NIL money.
