    RJ Davis Returning to UNC

    Sorry I hurt your feelings. The UNC family is scum and think they are royalty. Little Hubert was hired to keep the cheating legacy going. Congrats.

    In fairness, most of those examples were obvious to just about anyone with basic basketball knowledge. Using those kinds of examples I would add in UK posters telling others if you didn't see the star potential of Jared Carter, you were clueless. Or how about a majority of this board saying...

    Thank god our athletic director...

    Let's be honest. The only way this hire could be what this board wants would be: Kentucky kid, won 2 national titles, firm stoic personality with lots of emotion, great with X's and O's with a feel for the game, focuses on offense and defense, hated by everyone and loved by all, 40 years of...

    Curious how some are feeling

    Same here. Interestingly, Coach K and Cal were both in the E8 in 19. Both went 25-6 when the tournament was cancelled in 20. Then in 21, K went 13-11 while Cal went 9-16. If the top coach in the game is struggling, I guess it didn't seem so bad that Cal is struggling to me. Then in 22...

    Curious how some are feeling

    True but my point is that UK fans, as a general rule, are not all that knowledgeable. I think many of our fans would argue with a sign post. One of my favorite examples is when Tubby said he was considering redshirting Ramon Harris AFTER playing him in a game. When I posted that was not...

    Curious how some are feeling

    I would take out the word "knowledgeable" and replace it with the word "passionate." Our fans are passionate and often irrationally passionate. We do have some very knowledgeable fans and that is one reason I have stayed on this board over the years. But, i have sometimes walked away to...

    Doug Gottlieb talks Mark Pope

    Hall was promoted from being an assistant. His critics were many. The chat boards would have crucified him. Sutton was successful at Arkansas but he nearly destroyed the program. Pitino had one great year at Providence (FF) but otherwise not impressive. He was terrific for us. Tubby...

    Doug Gottlieb talks Mark Pope

    How about Dan Hurley? Before UConn he was at Wagner and Rhode Island. He missed the tournament 5 times, made the NIT once and the Big Dance twice making it to the Round of 32. Would you have hired him at that point in time?

    He probably won't be Kenny Payne bad, but

    Some of us have changed our minds several times as well. I wasn't thrilled with Pope at all when his name first came up but I went back and watched a few of his games, looked at his resume and did some thinking. He just grew on me in a short time. Every candidate has pros and cons.

    He probably won't be Kenny Payne bad, but

    Imagine if we had hired him AFTER 4 years at UConn. He missed the tournament 2 years and lost in the first round 2 years. Yeah, the last 2 years at UConn have been phenomenal but before that not so much.

    He probably won't be Kenny Payne bad, but

    I have watched BYU play. Have you? Pope's offense is impressive. He learned from Pitino, for one. If you gave him our team this past season I honestly think we would have been in much better shape. As for Hurley, he did NOTHING until last year in the tournament. Facts and personal...

    He probably won't be Kenny Payne bad, but

    I respect your opinion but I disagree completely. He knows how to run an offense. If he can leverage UK's historic reputation in recruiting and the transfer portal, I think we will be in good hands. I am excited! The number one choice on this board was Hurley. Up until 2 years ago, he...

    Reed tidbit via MJ

    Mark Pope is the perfect coach for Reed. Last year his team shot more from 3 than from 2. Reed will shine with Pope as a coach.

    Kentucky Fans went from

    How many of our posters have complained about not have Kentucky kids on the roster regardless of stars? How many of them complained about a coach who was about business and other things other than UK? So now we hire a coach who bleeds Kentucky blue and you are upset that we didn't hire a...

    BYU Offense Scheme

    Amazing video. I am getting excited.

    We may never know but I wonder if Mitch called Billy and asked him if he would consider the job. Or maybe Mitch didn't ask because Billy had turned us down twice already. Either way, holding out for Billy was probably not the smart move.

    Who leaks info to Matt Norlander?

    He was also wrong about just about everything all season long. Every 2 weeks someone would post "MJ said" and a few days later it would be proven wrong. Seriously, it is strange that so many can't see the truth in this.

    Two choices

    If history repeats itself, next season some of the most vocal critics will be proclaiming that they never doubted Pope would be the man for the job. That is why this board is so entertaining.

    Two choices

    The fact that this pick is SO unpopular is one reason I like it. Cal was a popular pick. How did that work out? The "lifetime contract" was popular. How did that work out? Billy G was a popular pick. How did that work out? On and on I could go. This board made fun of Duke, UNC and...
