He better have a good third or that’s gonna look kinda silly. At least when Cal was hungry and working his arse off he got great results. Supposedly nobody wants it more than Pope or works harder than he does, and these are the results.
He did. And the majority of those bad yrs were strung together at the end, which was why it was time for him to go.
With another S16? Honest question. This has ALWAYS been my fear with him. Barely above the firing line.
That’s Popesplaining at its finest.
Hell, Pope himself did that. What do expect of his minions?
How long did it take Cal to lose 26 games? There’s a fun fact.
He is a low emotional iq guy. He was done with pope after the season. Came here crying about how he had to support him because he was the coach. Now he is back on the bipolar coaster.
If thats what you have to tell yourself, by all means.
Just joined today. Return of the Dandy Andy troll take 2805?
Somewhere around 17-22 seems appropriate, with the potential to be much higher. Just too many unknowns. How good are Hawthorne and Ndiaye? Can Zoom and Wilkins score consistently against better competition than they've seen before? Will Moreno make a jump in production? What will McBride and Norton bring to the table?
We'll see.
We'll see.
I dont even know anymore man lol. This place has become absurd.
Some people sat here and roasted Cal for every little decision he made from day 1. So I figured, "ok this place his a high threshold for success". And here we are making all these excuses for Pope and anyone who questions him is now some negative anti-fan. "We need to give him resources!" after he has spent more than every past coach combined on a single player.. who i might add, wasnt pursued by the Duke's or the Michigan's because their rosters were set. All things equal, Mom would have never sniffed UK if this was two months ago.
Sorry, same rules apply. I didnt sit here and listen to armchair QBs dissect Cals roster moves just to have them turn around and excuse Pope getting blown out in this many games. Not gonna happen.
You are delusional. You will be back here crying about Pope not being your coach yet again after this season. Then posting mean DMs you received. Then back on the wagon again, fella

Nothing gets past the menstruating hall monitor but I have no idea who Andy Dandy is, you nitwit
Deny all you want. It is obvious you are him. Off to ignore for you yet again.
One simple mind that won’t let facts get in the way of his odd little narrative equals you fella
Correct. Objective reality. The second word of that definition could be your hangup.
I think the biggest issue is we have to compete in all games. The Gonzaga debacle from last year was unacceptable on every level. Effort was a major issue in games last season. There were too many games in year 1 and year 2 where we simply didn’t compete and got run off the court. More in year 2 than year 1, but being boatraced must stop. Nobody expects us to win every game, and sometimes blowouts happen. However, there have simply been too many blowout losses that it raises red flags. This is Pope’s biggest weakness on game day . He could pick up big wins but blowout losses have been consistent and numerous during his decade as a coach… at all stops.
This year effort and competitiveness should never be in question… ever!
To me, this has been the most damning of things for Pope!

Kind of like your IQ. Anyone who pays money to troll another fan base’s pay website cannot be very bright.
