I'd rather grate my balls over my spaghetti than listen to anything from Sleepers.
1. Apathy
2. Mediocrity
3. No excitement
That sums it up for me. Mitchell being here would have changed all 3

Dude I despise Mark Pope as a coach. He’s the worst thing to ever happen to Kentucky basketball history. He’s a fraud and he’s a tool
The fairest take on Pope is that his imprint on being successful is yet undetermined, but he gives absolutely zero vibes that he's going to get this thing where it needs to be to satisfy the fanbase. It's a potentially bad situation and could be like Mike Tomlin where he treads water just enough to hold on, meanwhile the credibility of the program waters down.
General John Pope was really close to winning some battles in the Civil War as well. He didn't get it done, and Lincoln canned him.
The same fate awaits the Saint SquintsALot
Tomlin won a super bowl and went to another I believe. Pope hasn't given me any hope he can win a title, much less go to multiple title games lol
Tomlin squeezed on in the year Brady was hurt. Not sure he got anywhere close in the next 15 years. He kept Pitt at 9-7 annually, which is the worst place to be in the NFL. First round exits or missing the playoffs altogether meanwhile never having a pick high enough to get your QB.
Pope going 25-10 with R32/S16's could be a deadly place to be w/him. You want him to blow up and go or crush it and surprise.
Other than the Covid season, you’d have to go back to 1989 to see UK finish lower than fourth in the conference.
Pope has finished 7th twice. He’s 20-16 in conference.

SEC is actually good these days, it was a laughing stock in basketball for the better part of the last 40 years. It only had 3 bids in 2016 and 2013 when Cal would regularly beat up on it. It had 14 in 2025, think about that.
If not for Florida, the SEC would have one title since 1996.
Don't look now, but Cal has his UK Model firmly in place. He may send 4 kids into this first round and is likely going to get a class of 4 top ten kids to replace them.
Tomlin only got that long because he won a title was my point. Pope ain't staying here long making sweet 16s or round of 32s.
I don’t know why anyone would choose to be mediocre while alienating our former players than being mediocre and not alienating our former players. If I knew it was going to be Mark Pope replacing our washed former coach, I’d rather have kept Cal. Things just really suck right now. There’s nothing to be happy about.
Fair assessment. If anyone had the choice now of the two, would clearly have kept Cal. There was a lot of equity lost and also two potentially great HS classes lost, by letting him go. Pope wasn't enough to move off him.

He’s never won anything has a coach. Least Billy was coach of the year in the big 12 and Co coach in the sec. Pope is a major fraud
Every post you have ever made on here is the same irrational garbage with zero interest in any semblance of fairness or nuance. The Dandy Andy troll dude was much more capable of actual discussion than you have ever displayed.
You’re giving him too much credit. We were tied with others at 7th place last year and were the 9 seed in the SECT. We played on Wednesday for the first time in history.
Im talking uk only. Pope was better than g.
Old enough to know what a joke is when I see one. You clearly aren’t.
