    All you Cal haters who thought we could fire him and just take our pick

    Totally agree! Looked like a fundamentally-sound BASKETBALL-SKILLED player (rather than the "athletic-freak/fundamentally-weak" guys who often get the 5* treatment). Looking very much forward to seeing this mature, skilled player progress even more after more than one year in Lexington! Glad...

    To all you trolls with the Usernames never seen on here before...

    DEFINITELY not calling out you! (...part of why I resisted the urge to refer to those with a "low post count"). Was mainly meaning those -- regardless of how long or how many times they've posted -- who obviously think this was (and should've remained) the University of Cal. Bless you for your...

    All you Cal haters who thought we could fire him and just take our pick

    Hope @83Cat continues to post on here as things progress the way they will here (and in Fayeteville). My guess is, he/she/they/them won't.

    To all you trolls with the Usernames never seen on here before...

    ...your thinly-veiled "I support Pope and all, but..." opening line gives you away. Couple of questions for you: Will you keep posting on here the next several weeks...even once the roster and coaching staff starts to fill up? Will you EVER post anything TRULY supportive and positive to try...

    If Pope wins a title, would it be…

    Totally agree. Damn lifetime contract! Weird thing though, when he said those 4 things I listed above (there were many more than just those 4) we actually WEREN'T winning -- at least not like we should've been with 12 or so NBA-ability guys the last 5 years (and only winning ONCE in the...

    If Pope wins a title, would it be…

    Guess I’ll have to plead guilty to this. BUT…in regards to sowing division in the fan base, I’ll always be a distant 2nd to Coach C(harlatan)! “Bennies” “Don’t criticize, just watch.” “Dontae had some big defensive lapses” (when he was the difference in the win) “How about Reed’s bad pass...

    Sean Woods?

    Pope might feel obligated somewhat to bring him on staff…but I know he had some issues during his previous stint. Any predictions?

    If Pope wins a title, would it be…

    …at least the SECOND greatest day in UK bball history? ;) SO glad the emphasis will be on what matters most here on out!

    Fatigue/Malaise —> Energy/Anticipation

    would’ve loved Hurley or Oats, but not sure those guys could’ve even created the kind of turnaround emotionally for this fan base. There’s Hope with Pope. (And good being back here…I never stopped caring, but pretty much stopped posting around 2019 due to coach Cahrlatan).

    When you’ve whiffed on 1st tier (proven guys), THIS is what should drive next offer…

    Who out there—whether Power 5, mid-major, etc—has done the MOST with the LEAST? Who has taken a program to new heights WITHOUT good resources, facilities, NIL, fan-base, boosters, etc.? Who is it that — IF THEY HAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL WHAT UK HAS TO OFFER — could have been having major...

    Just for the turmoil it would cause…

    …if we are really down to taking an up-and-comer from a mid-major, what if we just went ahead and lured Pat Kelsey away from UofL? Would be interesting to hear him have to re-vamp the mansions in heaven story at the press conference while the Card fans go nuts.

    Stories that can now come to light about the s***-show Cal ran?

    Here’s one I’ve wondered about—seemed pretty obvious, but never heard real confirmation…. What, I wonder, was the actual “arrangement” made between Cal & Whitney/Skal/Edwards et al that caused him to start and play them when it was obvious to ALL they were detrimental to team success.

    Basketball innovators and Kentucky. It should be Oats

    Hell, add Mumme on the football side—basically the father of what football is today at all levels—and we’re a “Cradle of Innovators”

    Stories that can now come to light about the s***-show Cal ran?

    After Cutler finally tracked down BCG, lots of interesting things came out about his time here and REAL reasons behind his lack of success. I’m sure some of you that live in Lex or are otherwise well-connected know some details most don’t about why Cal ran the ship into the rocks. Care to share?

    Need someone who is "climbing the coach's mountain"

    Whomever it is—young, old, experienced, raw—TEST THEIR BLOOD-ALCOHOL CONTENT!

    Any takers on post-game comments?

    I mean, look who’s all in here. WHHHAAAATTT!!??? I would stay, but I—er, I mean we—got eight guys playing tonight in what matters most…LA, Phoenix, Philly. I can catch the west coast games if I get outta here now. Oh yeah, and spend some time with my dog. Probably an Alaska show on to watch...

    Do you say "UK" or "Kentucky"?

    As long as it's not what Louisville people say... "U-uh-K" (some amalgamation of "UK" and growing up saying "u-OF-l" their whole lives). Almost like they get ready to say "of" and literally halfway through remember not to say "of" only after they've already said "o."
