I don't try to ruin every thread with negative BS and dump on the coach, players and team in every thread. That's the huge difference you are choosing to ignore
I'm not buying that at this point. I think Richie would much rather lose big and fire the coach than have a solid season and Pope return for next season. We have had many posters come flat out and say they would rather lose big so he gets fired unless we win the SEC and make the Final Four.
I actually think Pope is a good in-game coach. I don't think he's a good recruiter though, and that's the problem.
I think our definition differs a bit, but I get the sentiment. Two yrs ago we went to the S16 and were non competitive. That’s why I’m a little more definite in my answers. His two teams and their wild inconsistency is the antecedent to that for me.
You said “great” and then followed it up with a handful of games. Games don’t define greatness, imho. Just like singular games don’t define “sucks”. If we’re gonna use a singular coach (Barnes) let’s not forget Golden or Oats, huh? See what I mean. Cherry picking isn’t fair. Whole body of work is.
I always think of adults on a public message board that filter their information are about like cult or militia members. I don’t agree with or care for the posts of many folks on here, but man…the differences make it entertaining.
Can’t you just say he had moments of greatness?
Sion not Zion.
Maybe that is the difference between us. I am not here for entertainment. I just want to follow and get legitimate news on the the best basketball program of all time. Could care less about the triggered so called fans. Pope may work and he may not. It will work itself out as it always has. But to be on here just waiting to post anything negative is not a true fan. It just isn't. And this is coming from someone who said Mitch should be fired for hiring Pope.
S16 is about the matchup to me.
This. I agree he can coach. Motivating and managing personalities seem to be his Achilles heels so far. I think the new group is a likable bunch that get along and are motivated internally. This year will be more like year 1, but with a possibly higher ceiling.
I see it similar to year one as well, and if healthy, that was an EE/FF team IMO
Get a life . Learn to argue in short sentences and remember that no one cares on line who you are or what you think. Have a good day
The Nancie’s have very low basketball IQ.
The reason why you feel like that about RunninRichie is he feels the need to show up on this board with his tough as nails, nuance-deprived message board approved persona, built to harvest clicks and get attaboys from a site that is mostly devoid of context. There’s dissonance because that same Richie that you all see as this hard hitter with very little personality other than humiliating people with minority opinions is actually a kind and gentle guy in real life, very intelligent, nerdy, cool and bright. No clue why the biggest wrestling nerd I’ve ever met (a compliment btw) is on here posting Rikishi clips to make fun of another poster. Richie himself has called into the KSR radio show performing his Stone Cold Steve Austin impression. But it’s fine I guess — he was on this website before me and already created a persona and he’s gonna stand by it even though he’s full of crap. He will deny until he’s blue in the face, but I know the real guy. The real guy would be a wonderful addition to this board instead of the “cool” cardboard cutout we get on here.
Omg he’s a heel on rupp rafters?
It’s the Annabell doll. Everything has collapsed since that tour.
Calling me Pauine is childish scumbag behavior. I never called any of those coaches trash because of their first two seasons. All I did was post factual information. You are in an emotional spiral. You lose it when facts do not align with your psychotic agenda.
You are wrong as always. I'm just stating facts as usual. You are a disingenuous troll more or less just playing a fake wrasslin' character. I'm sure you will keep up the lame routine. Have it at. It reflects poorly on you not me.
About time for you to make another thread about stopping the witch hunts followed by calling out another poster twice in recent days.
About time for you to understand the context of that thread. That thread was created when Mark Mitchell signed with Kentucky and there were pro-Pope people hunting down people left and right instead of letting people enjoy the signing. They were gatekeeping people out who weren’t positive enough before that. I’m not doing that — I’m pointing out that some people here are disingenuous. Such as a guy who makes fun of others who like wrestling even though he likes it as much as anyone. I’m a huge wrestling fan and I don’t see what’s wrong with me calling it out. Why in the world are you coming at me over this? Are you not following either thread fully?
Mike Menzter is not a "wrassler", lmfao. You ever been in a gym before? Probably not.
Alright, dude, it's time to drop the charade, I don't know who you are, and you don't know me. It's getting bizarre now.
What are you on about now? This is the first time I've ever heard that name. Are you saying that is the character you are disingenuously playing? I am not playing any character. I am just trying to discuss UK basketball on a factual basis and trying to be positive in supporting the team I root for through thick and thin.
Ok buddy.
Your first post in your thread stating stop the witch hunt is this:
Ok, man. I’m not even going to bother explaining the difference between someone you know IRL making fun of people that share an obscure hobby that they also enjoy just to win internet points. Wait till you scroll up and find my issue with Richie has absolutely nothing to do with Pope. This is alarming and shows me I was wrong about you.
This should have been the first hint that there was something wildly unique about this scenario. Hello?
He overpays the best shooter in college basketball to come her you meanPope signs best shooter in college history and the guy breaks his finger
Done with everyone making excuses. Iowa st lost their best player right before the game and still ran us out of the building.
