Lots of good UK football scoop on rupp rafters.
Some fans can’t accept that we’re probably middle of the pack next year. Like they refuse to accept it. I guess they realize that being middle of the pack 3 years in a row probably dooms CMP. But what can you do? This is Kentucky. Being a lower half SEC team isn’t acceptable here.
And what did all that excitement from recruiting get us, 1 title in 15 years with the most talented roster alot of the times.
There was something good yesyerday,quit the negativity
Ok. Some people like the team next year….so? Why is that reprehensible?
So you're relieved to get less talent so at least we won't underachieve?
These are all great questions
So the last 4 years of Cal you thought things was good . You poor soul
You are right to a degree.....but it was damn disappointing to watch all that talent go to hell.......first round flame outs the way I remember it.......
I’d wager to bet my standards are pretty high compared to most. I don’t think the following things have to be mutually exclusive:These are all great questions
I am better at forecasting outcomes than sad "usual suspects". See: last year. NOT a moral judgment in any sense.
I would say that if you are a Kentucky fan, it should be "reprehensible" to accept this current roster as some standard. We should have the roster that Duke has.
Not insulting anyone's intelligence or anything personal. Only insulting / questioning their standards.
We'll see what happens, my friend. With Mika seemingly off the table, only needle movers remain Stokes and Milan. Not gonna get excited for 5th year meh's that won't sniff the NBA.
We shall see. So far I am 1-0 though!
Golden could do nothing but stalk girls and not even touch his team and probably still kick CMP’s butt. That’s the distance between us and them right now.
Therapist told me she was depressed too.
I’d trade places all day long, and twice on Sunday, compared to where this program is headed, if drastic changes aren’t made.
Most of that is true, but I have no clue how someone could watch the first 2 years and still have hope now, looking at this roster. There is a reason Pope hasn't spoken to any media since that last coaches show where he tried to convince us he was doing better than Cal did.
I think it’s actually the reasonable position, genuinely. I don’t mind explaining it further if you really care to know.
There is an obligation to speak to the most passionate fans in CBB. You don't need to tell us everything you're planning, but just allowing yourself to be seen and asked questions is important. I mean, he did say this was our team.
Yeah it would be nice, this portal season has been a huge slow let down most of the year.
My excitement meter:
Todd Golden is going to be beat the brakes off this UK team at Rupp Arena and the fans will boo their own team louder than "Dumas Walker".
I don’t know. I like CMP as a person, but this is one of those things where I question his “compatibility” as a coach with the UK basketball program. Fans expect media spectacles and updates and hang on to the coach’s every word. CMP is very secretive about everything and many fans are in a frenzy over that. They want news and CMP isn’t really delivering that. Can’t really expect fans to change their attitude for one person.
I get the Tounde part, but it would be really fun to see that athletic 3 attack. I think Wilkins has the chance to be a great 3pt shooter so i wouldn't mind it.Generally, I agree with this. For now, I think media would only create more negativity during a time we need to avoid more of it. For the last year, everything he has said has been twisted awfully (some of it by his own fault.) Need not to create headlines right now .
My excitement meter:
If we got Stokes: A
If we got Milan: A+
If we got Tounde: C- (Doesn’t fit next to Wilkins+Zoom IMO)
What the hell are you talking about. We just got a guy YESTERDAY!
Ask yourself this question. And don’t reply it to me. This is for you and yourself. Be genuinely honest. Who do you think is demanding the interviews right now? The Pope supporters or the people that don’t like the guy? The answer is rhetorical and therein lies the very issue. And that’s why he’s staying silent and should imo. The people demanding he speak are the same people who want to flame him when he speaks. Think back to all the things people complained about all season, that Pope needs to do this and needs to do that. Then when he does it, they get mad that he did it and move to the next thing. Cal noticed this same behavior over time. That’s why we went from big long state of the program speeches to mic drops and let’s ball. Even the most media savvy coach in the sport got tired of it. The media is a circus and there’s nothing to gain when things aren’t going well.
1. Calipari should have left earlier.
That last sentence. My Biggest fear is he fails and still gets a 4th. And 5th. Etc etc. I think that fear is what causes me to push back so hard on any optimism. I don't have any issues with the person being optimistic. My only issue is with the optimism itself, if that makes sense.
Hey man. That’s actually interesting to hear.
Totally -- if there's someone like me, there's another out there who is a mirror.
