Did anybody else listen to Pope's radio show...?

[Blueathletics]

What a difference between him and Cal....it was night and day

Pope actually took responsibility for things and laid out in detail what he should have done....never once called out a player

Definitely a breath of fresh air.....Gotta win of course, but he definitely said the right things

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Did Bob from Jamestown ask about inflation?

Did Bob from Jamestown ask about inflation?

If he did, Pope probably told him about that ice cream tab.

I’ve always admired people who are inherently good at heart. It’s not that common, but Mark Pope is one of those people.

Just another reason we will win it all

Gotta say it....I really like this coach.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

We have the coach. Ignore the trolls and loon fans.

He threw this team together and clearly knows how to build a TEAM. Just think when he has time to work methodically. Sit back and enjoy it because it's going to be a fun 10-20 years.

That loss to Clemson hurt CMP more than it hurt 99% of the fanbase.

CMP is Blue through and through. He is BBN as much as he is HC.

Love this guy.

No more I like my team. It's a process. We're young. We haven't had time to practice against zones defenses. We can't scrimmage because we've got some guys hurt.

Not just him . He said the team was really upset about it. Which sounds normal, but I’ve wondered about some of our past teams .

I wanted the last coach out so bad I didn't care who coached but I initially thought we could have done better than Pope. After 8 games I wouldn't want anyone else. You can't dispute he is intelligent, kind, genuine, and will work tirelessly to bring championships to UK. It appears he will do fine recruiting so I feel confident we will start seeing FFs runs and more soon.

Has he said why he sat Brea on the bench so long against Clemson

And dealing with mystery injuries, oh I don’t know about the severity because I haven’t seen him.

Yes.

Mark Pope calls Koby Brea's extended absence 'judgment call we could maybe take back in the future'

Wondering why Koby Brea played just 17 total minutes and five in the second half of Kentucky's loss at Clemson? You're not the only one.

Pope doesn't hide from his mistakes and try to BS the fans and media about his decisions.

Will take some getting used to.

IMO a whole bunch of folks here would have done well to go see CMP being introduced in Rupp last spring. I was a huge fan of him before that, but a lot of minds were changed at that event. Like watching the inauguration of the United States President of College Basketball

What a great response by CMP!

After 15 years of not getting a thoughtful honest answer this is like having a bucket of ice water dumped on you.
Actual answer when asked a question.
Oh my....
