Fair enough. But you said you stopped once he was hired. That’s what I was questioning. Listen the first decade of cal was pretty good. The drop was sharp at that point.

Yeah, I hear you.

There were probably a few people that disliked Cal so much they left immediately, but they were few and far between. Most who became apathetic were probably more like me...skeptical of the hire at first b/c I didn't love Cal's history, then able to enjoy the ride while it lasted, then sort of left...

I've thought that since the coach and lineup were in place and nothing I've seen since has changed my mind. Do I think we're likely to win a title? No, but I think we have a chance. I have known we didn't have a chance many of the last 5 years.

Why do we need someone else to tell us what we can see with our own eyes?

This! Kentucky is one of 8-10 teams that can win a title. That's all you can ask for and it's been at least 6 years since we could say that.

Thought my wife was asleep on the couch.
She told me the next morning that she saw me run straight to the TV.... place my middle finger up to it..... and yell out "F U Jay Williams".
She has no idea who he is or why I said that at all. 😂😂😂😂

The play for me was when Williams pressured Cooper Flagg into a turnover with 5 seconds left . My Apple Watch gave me a “High Heartrate” alarm! First time I’ve ever gotten that . Didn’t even know I had it , lol

Gen X is getting old. Do it for us Mike. Forget the script.

Pope is a lot of Rick Pitino mixed with a little Phil Jackson. He talks about the karma of the game and such. He has a good balance of what he is doing. Will be fun watching it grow.

Hopefully Pitino's X's and O's plus Phil Jackson philosophy minus the hookers and whores. 😂

The man can coach.

His St. John's team is now ranked #22 in the nation.

Here's a good article about what Pitino is doing with St. John's right now.

St. John's is back in the top 25.

I'm hoping that Arkansas plays St. John's in the NCAA tournament.

All the Johnny's have to do is play zone defense and CCCs head will explode.

Definitely a breath of fresh air.

However, I can only imagine BBNs collective response if the inbounds pass flew over Butler's head and landed out of bounds. Duke would have gotten the ball right underneath their own hoop with 6 sec (or something like that) and only down 2.

Glad it worked out, but that is one of those high risk high, reward plays. No doubt UK has practiced it enough if Pope feels comfortable enough to run it at the end of a big game. But man, not sure if I would have had the stones to call that.

That had to have been something they have practiced repeatedly. Only thing that would have allowed it to work better would have been a better back screen for Butler.
But you're correct. If it had failed, a lot of second guessing by the BBN.

About all I can muster these days is a fist pump and a loud YESSSS!

Was that the greatest 2nd half comeback in basketball history?
I'd say that LSU comeback pales in comparison.

Bingo - we have been very excited a couple times over the past years early, only to have our ballon popped come tournament time. I would rather be the best playing team entering March than the best team in November.

Even then it's all about matchups and a lot of luck.

Even before he gave up boxing, his skills had diminished BIG TIME. Look at his last 6 or so pro fights, terrible.

This. I think a lot of people have forgotten just how bad Tyson looked near the end of his career. He was basically forced into retirement out of embarrassment after he got his ass kicked in back to back fights by a couple nobody tin cans named Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. He looked totally washed up in his last few fights ...and that was when he was still in his 30s.

So if he looked that bad back then I don't know why anyone would think we're gonna see the ole "Iron Mike" again a couple decades later when he's nearly a friggin 60 year old man.

HH is the most annoying poster on this board. Good chance he’s not even a UK fan. Please don’t fall for anything he says.
