Yes. Others outspent UK this recruiting cycle for players UK offered. In a free agency portal world, it’s inevitable.Everybody outspends everyone else for the best players. It’s where we are.
As to Pope, the man just proved a lot of us wrong. If he wants to take one snarky photo, let him. He’s got his guy. Now he has to win.
wow. Just wow.Yeah, it's a bit of a cringey look.
That is a prediction and not a fact. Time will tell.Whether we win or whether we lose, this thing is coming to a head this season. It's a good get, we're all glad to have Mommy's Milkers signed to sharpshoot 3s, but he isn't the missing piece to get us to winning the SEC and back to the Final Four. This roster still isn't up to UK standards. Some of y'all, just like last year, are just bound and determined to learn the hard way, yet again.
OMgosh, you people are vapidly ridiculous. Seriously broken. Damn, get serious about something that matters.He gets 1 recruit and acts like he’s amazing. Embarrassing
Yes it will. And yes, Pope looks corny. Factwow. Just wow.

Lmfao how do you know we “massively overpaid” for Milan?! I’ll wait.
Fair enough and no arguments that UK should be in the S16 most of the time. UK has 46 total S16s, so that is a successful season to me. As you get past that, you start getting into more. EE = Very good season, FF = Great season, NC Loss= Elite season, NC Win- Historic Season.I'd say 6-8 losses. Normally I'd say win the SEC and/or SECT, but we all see what Florida has lined up this year. While I don't like conceding those to anyone, they're ours by birthright, realistically Florida is taking them this year. IMO we should make the Sweet 16 every year. No reason for UK not to be one of the last 16 standing any year. Yes, that doesn't always happen, but it should more often than not. To me it's a baseline job requirement here. Getting past that Sweet 16 is where we start talking about success. Just getting there isnt a great season in and of itself. How the regular season goes matters too. Kinda like UK football. Not all 7-5 seasons are created equal.
yes he's corny and lame but why today of all days does that have to be reiterated? we got our guy. why are we still taking shots at Pope like he whiffed?Yes it will. And yes, Pope looks corny. Fact
Not a fact. And a bad take. People having fun is now placed on the microscope? Your opinion is corny.And yes, Pope looks corny. Fact
Well, I mean, that’s what it was gonna take for basically anyone to get him. Whether he’s worth that amount is irrelevant. Would’ve cost Arizona and/or Louisville around that same amount for them as well.Only if you think he was worth over 6 mil.

Now you’re just looking for a reason to be upset. What a way to go thru life. Frickin’ loser.I am dam glad we landed milan but yes this is pathetic.
If you are the highest bidder but it still takes you several days to get him to commit - that isnt the time to dunk on people. That's the time to humbly thank boosters for the "support" that allowed you to massively overpay a guy that will help cover up the fact you grossly mishandled the Stokes situation.
oh boy...this could age poorly. keep telling myself happy thoughts onlyGoogle AI:
The Jack and King combination in Mark Pope's hands carries a double meaning that blends card-game strategy with classic rivalry humor:
By using these specific cards, Pope managed to signal to Big Blue Nation that Kentucky was building a dominant hand while delivering a clever, hidden jab to their biggest rival.
- The Blackjack "20" Setup: In Blackjack, holding a Jack and a King equals a score of 20. Since Pope is pictured on a phone call while holding them, Kentucky fans quickly deciphered that he was on the phone waiting for his "Ace" (the commitment of Milan Momcilovic) to hit a perfect, unbeatable 21.
- The Poker Punchline: In Texas Hold 'em, a Jack and a King starting hand is colloquially referred to by card players as a "Jack-King" hand. This acts as a subtle, multi-layered pun aimed directly at rival school Louisville (whose fans are often referred to by UK fans using a similar-sounding phonetic insult).
I don’t think Pope intended what some are evidently construing. The photo, especially the fruit and a shadow around the fruit seem superimposed. The drink? Maybe Mark will do a Q$A and explain.oh boy...this could age poorly. keep telling myself happy thoughts only
I did some AI on the picture and there’s an 82% chance it’s Peytona Beach, Waddy KY.Any geolocaters know where Pope is at? My first guess was Boonesborough Beach in Richmond.
Im gonna give Art Bell a call tonight about this.I did some AI on the picture and there’s an 82% chance it’s Peytona Beach, Waddy KY.
Which makes sense because this time of year Air BnBs are heavily discounted in Waddy due to the Waddy Werewolf. Apparently late spring is werewolf mating season. Save every penny for NIL—-genius move on Pope’s part.
Waddy WerewolfIm gonna give Art Bell a call tonight about this.
Oh man no joke thanks for the link. This is right up my alley for late night YT watching!Waddy Werewolf
Thank you for bringing attention to this topic because, frankly, it’s a damn matter of life and death. Be warned: don’t click that link unless you’re ready for the truth.
If you ever stop at the Flying J in Waddy off 64 just ask them about it. Tina, who maintenances the hot dog rollers, had an uncle that saw the WW face to face and lived to tell about it.Oh man no joke thanks for the link. This is right up my alley for late night YT watching!
Beautiful family, hot old lady, lives in a mansion.Well, I mean honestly he doesn’t have a worry in the world, he‘s worth $25M+, he‘s set for life regardless of the outcome this season.
Yes it will. And yes, Pope looks corny. Fact
Anyone who isn't trolling would agree that year 1 was a success. He came in late with 0 recruits and 0 staff and still put together a great team. Setting a record for top 15 wins along the way to the sweet 16. If not for injuries he a final 4 quality team. You are just a blind hateful troll.The ol good everything considered narrative... Yea good given everything considered....such a hard situation to come to. Everything stacked against you. No support... Bs
Right. We were the only one that desperately needed him. We desperately needed him because we struck on most everyone else even when we were the highest bidder.
So 1) this desperate overpayment really had its table set months ago 2) kudos to pope for not whiffing again as top bidder 3) pope should've accepted this booster created victory in silence instead of trying to dunk on people.
Now you’re just looking for a reason to be upset. What a way to go thru life. Frickin’ loser.

And with that desperation we are still not good enough to win the SEC. Preseason top 15-20 and a coach that got lucky Milan wasn’t good enough to stay in the draft. Build a statue
No just a fan with a different opinion. That season had some fun moments. It wasn't an all out failure. It was acceptable given the circumstances.Anyone who isn't trolling would agree that year 1 was a success. He came in late with 0 recruits and 0 staff and still put together a great team.

Not a hater but I am not a believer in Pope. I hope I am wrong but, I do not see this team having a better record than the last two teams.the haters gonna be crying tonight
Maybe he found some Mojo? He shouldn't have been hired if he didn't already possess Mojo.Hes dorky yeah.. but i am truly rooting for this to work. Maybe he found some mojo.. but idk.. seems like we just out paid for good players.
Whats really annoying is to see fans who railed against Cal his last few years (and some for his entire tenure), just to forget the last 2 seasons of Pope. We should be doing SO. MUCH. BETTER when we can throw out pay days like this..
Dropping breadcrumbs like Taylor swiftI don’t think Pope intended what some are evidently construing. The photo, especially the fruit and a shadow around the fruit seem superimposed. The drink? Maybe Mark will do a Q$A and explain.
