LOL, you “may” have good intentions but you “may “ be stirring up crap . One thing I have learned, when you’re opponents are telling you to keep your coach………
Unc, Vandy, even a Louisville fan this week, told me we’ve got a good coach and to give him plenty of time.

I now want a change more than ever. I remember the Tubby days.

Next, all the anti UK ESPN heads are going to tell us we’re being unreasonable and to give it time. Oh wait, they already are…

calm down, dude. I'm trying to tell some of y'all that Pope is a good pick. give him time.
You are 100% going to get the “but the email said I’d be arrested if I didn’t send it” guys to buy the troll. I mean it is funny.

Incorrect. Kentucky has a 76% winning percentage all time. Pope is closer to 67%. That's not acceptable.
Some of these guys are not going to understand the massive difference in that winning %. Lack of Statistics and probability in high school is showing through with all the gambling. You will have several who don’t see the big deal between those numbers.

Kentucky has an incredible base, love talking with fans from all walks across the state. But we’ve always had a monitory here that don’t seem to understand, stuff.

Agree with this. I get tired of the injury excuses. Yes, we've had bad luck with injuries this year, but injuries are a part of the game. It happens at every school. It seems every loss UK has had over the past 30 years is blamed on a player being hurt or not 100%. Like we haven't also benefited from key injuries on other teams.
The outrageous extent of injuries Pope has had in his 2 years here DOES NOT happen at every school.
3 point guards last year and 3 of the top 6 this year. Doesn't exonerate him from any blame, but is definitely a major contributing factor to some of the shortcomings.

It definitely is an issue, but the players we have, have proven that, when they play with effort, can beat anyone in the SEC.

The real issues are:
1) Pope's inability to motivate
2) inability to understand that you play your best players as often as possible during games,
3) recruiting
4) recognizing what UK level talent is.

He has to look within himself. This crap where his team beats a highly ranked team, then loses to a garbage team, has to stop. It was an issue at BYU and it’s been an issue for 2 years here. He is the common denominator.
