We could be 1-7 in conference right now and I’d still be happy to be free of Cal. He’s in clear decline. The sooner we moved on, the better.
I'd trade Pope for Calipari right now.

Let me be clear, I have absolutely zero faith that Pope ever wins anything of significance here, let alone a title… but I’d rather have Billy Gillespie back than Kal back. Kal can EAD and croak.
Mr. Positive under Cal sure has become negative.
Look at Popes entire career. This is what he’s always done. Win games you wouldn’t expect and then lose horrible games that he has no excuse losing. He clearly ain’t changing. He’s overrated as a bench coach. Any fool would have told his team to guard the 3 tightly after the first 7-10 minutes yet he doesn’t and still didn’t starting the second half. It took Arkansas hitting their first 2-3 outside shots in the second half before we started guarding them close outside.
we shall see, idc if he won 30 titles here, ill give him a couple years though and we will see what happens. Years like this just simply won't cut it.
UK fans have been blinded by the bygone days of glory.
Listen to my words.
Now is the time for action.
Pope is not the answer.
Time to throw off the yoke of mediocrity.
When the sun rises, look to the South.

Cal made me miserable when it comes to watching UK basketball
Pope has me watching every game and caring about UK again.
this loss sucked and he should be dinged for it, but I celebrated the day Cal left. Things would have to be Kenny Payne bad before I would regret it.
And last week our coach was in the running for COY.

There’s 3. 2 of which are from KY. He just missed on the lone top recruit he went after.
Cal, won his last game ever in Rupp last night. They had a week to prepare and the 3 former Ky players willed the win. Bad loss to an NIT team but it's over, Next!
100%.
He convinced Wagner, Thiero, and Z to get up for this game. Those 3 wanted it worse than anyone else on the court (with the exception of maybe Amari Williams).
I would take Cal,s recruiting. Coaching and motivation for coaching I am not interested in Cal. He got a week to prepare for a Kentucky team without any PG.
Yes, Pope didn’t prepare correctly the tactics for this game. I hope he can recruit from Portal cause right now the roaster for next year has many many holes.

Even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes talking about Cal win last night.
From a person with Vance as his profile pic. Now that pic puts the game in perspective. We are truly ****ed. 😀
Robcat is one of the best at trolling the fan base. Make no mistake he bleeds blue but you have to know how he rolls.
Doesn’t have to be one or the other. Current version of Cal doesn’t deserve to be the UK coach. If we’re being REALLY honest with ourselves, neither does Pope. He’d have never gotten the job had he not been a former Cat, and that shouldn’t be a qualification. My hope is, the Kentucky brand helps him as much or more than he helps it and he develops into a coach that can put together a team that run great offenses like his do while also not being soft AF in every aspect of the game. If this is what we still have in 26-27, he will be gone. If it’s not, it means he has recruited well enough and is able to develop toughness and not just good offense.
It was Cals time to go no matter this years results. The game had passed him by and he should’ve retired like all his fellow coaches did. I’m gonna give Pope a pass for this year, never expected much. This year is not over. If he can win a couple in the tourney, I’d be thrilled.
Might be one of the most ridiculous posts ever started. Go burn your UK gear if you feel like that and stock up on Arkansas stuff.
What the hell does his profile pic have to do with anything, Hunter? Or is it Kamala?
The crowed booing them gave them all the extra juices they needed to play out their azz.
And they feed off of it all game long.
