This is the most positive I've seen this board in years. Feels like the fanbase is united and we have our program back. Going to be a fun season! Let's all enjoy this ride.
Refreshing

It is refreshing to see real basketball played and no longer a farm system for the NBA.
Don't worry, one of the negative Nancies made an appearance tonight in the game thread. I'm sure a few more will follow.
We will always have the sores running around. Maybe we can manage to keep them at bay long enough to have some positive experience around here for a change.

I have been waiting so long to have my team back it almost brought tears to my eyes early in this game.
Yeah man. I sat back and really soaked this one in. Very enjoyable.
Refreshing was the exact word I used after watching Pope's post-game interview.
Coach totally gets it. What a blessing to have Coach Pope at Kentucky.
Earning every penny of his salary.

I quit watching UK BB the past 2+ years. I was so over Calipari: his attitude, rebuilding the roster every year, no development of the players, 'the process', 'we're young', generational wealth, NBA draft, the whole schtick.
I watched quite a bit of the game and I love the way we play. Running plays, constant movement, fast breaks that look like they've been coached, out of bounds plays, deny defense, hands in the passing lanes, all of it.
Add in that Pope wants to be here, loves UK, his dream job and I'm pumped. They may not go any further than Cal's team this year, but Pope is recruiting well and players will want to play in his system and for him. We're in very good hands, I believe.

Watching team first players, having them coached and seeing unselfish play across the board - wow! I about fell over when I watched two back to back out of bounds plays coming out of a time out. Kentucky has a team and coach!
Exactly! Mark Pope was an absolute Grand Slam hire!! Yes we all know we are not going to win every game, but it is about KENTUCKY AGAIN!! We have OUR PROGRAM BACK AGAIN!! Thank you Mitch, and thank you Mark Pope for loving our program so much!!
Thought this was going to say it’s refreshing to see UK manhandle a less talented team and it not turn into a nail biter. Your topic is good too though.
