Do you have anything cool planned for Coach Pope's first game?

I'm having family over to watch UK vs. Wright State and I'm ordering a few pizzas.

Do you have anything cool planned for Coach Pope's first game? Who's attending it in person? =)

 

[Cats192]

I'll probably watch the 1st game from the couch.

We were going to go to the Champion's classic, but it's stupid expensive.

We'll probably have a get together for that.

I might be the only one but I can’t stand watching games with other people. I’ll be parked on my couch posting to the game thread on the commercial breaks. Really excited for this season to get started. Ready to put the old behind us and get on with the new!

I’ll be in the stands in section 213 like I am for all home games.

And then you have old people (like in my family) that proudly show their 'casual fan' card. "Oh Boy, that Cal-ee-puree sure has them working on all cylinders" after some OOC cupcake win that accomplished nothing for the players or the program.

That’s when I get all grumbly and watch it on my phone in the garage.

I'll just watch the game at home and drink beer.

I dont watch games with other people and my wife and kid know to stay away if UK is playing a difficult game.

Watching

 

[chroix]

Yep. Game thread is all the company I need when the Cats are playing.

 

[CB3UK]

Be doing the same I do for every game. Nothing new here.

 

[Tprinceuk]

Sit down on the couch, and enjoy that were finally in a new era.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Pizza and Panama Red. Not necessarily in that order.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Count me in as another who’s better off watching alone. I think Cal made me a miserable SOB with UK quite honestly. I’m hoping to get back to being enjoyable at game time.

 

[cat tat2]

Probably kick back with my wife on the couch, eating grilled pizza and enjoy watching a new brand of UK basketball.

 

[ORCAT]

I'll be in Rupp cheering on the Cats like every season but with renewed enthusiasm this year.

 

[J_Dee]

I usually like to watch games alone, but to me a new coach is a big deal, especially since he's an all-time UK great, which is why I want to watch the first game with family. I hope it's a great memory for them. =)

I’ll be looking to buy tickets for any reasonably affordable game now that Pope’s made it so exciting again. Don’t expect to find many affordable for that same reason. Short of that I’ll generally go to some packed place where everyone screams at the game together. Charlie Brown’s Restaurant in Chevy Chase is pretty good for that. I’ve never been to the KSR bar but I imagine it’s the same way.

My wife (fiancee at time) tried to watch the 2018 UK vs KSU sweet 16 game with me. I threw stuff at tv and empty beer cans against wall. I blame PJs ft shooting or lack there of.

Yeah, she never watches with me anymore lol

 

[BBNinSC]

Our first game is the night before the election. So, if things blow up, we’ll be undefeated.

 

[true blue1]

I’m having family and friends over.

My wife and three kids are down with my antics. 2 or three other friends understand that I may go to the garage for radio coverage to change the MOJO.
Otherwise, not so much.
2 of my progeny usually go to most of the games.
GBB!

Oh crap. I didn't even know the date.

Well boys and girls, I'll be drinking water downed mixed drinks on a Carnival Cruise while watching then instead of the beer.

I will be traveling for work so I’ll need to make time to watch it. I’m a bit nervous for Pope. I have such high hopes and he has done and said everything right up to this point since being hired. I feel like I went all in on Pope after the initial freak out that he was hired. Please Pope beat the teams your supposed to beat, by a lot and beat most of the teams we want you to beat, by a lot.
