If the Cats win a game and then loses to a six seed in the second round, how are you going to react to it? Such a thing is fairly probable. Does that move you into a position of being anti-Pope? You seem very tense and anxious about the postseason, where I would see us as playing with house money given everything that has happened during and before the season.
You have some dumb takes, but i am happy to say this isn't even in the top 10.... keep improving!
There’s no such thing as a throw away year. No I don’t think ff is the mark of success it’s an elite 8. Which for this team is very doable. And as of now I still just like the day he was announced and everyone here melted down. Just because people came around doesn’t mean he has a “throw away year”. This is what has irritated me about the pope hiring is the lowering of expectations because of his lack of resume. I don’t look at any of this personally. Pope wasn’t the best resume we could land so it’s natural for a lot of people to be skeptical of his march abilities. You can call me all the names you want it’s not going to change the facts. We have a top 10 roster even without Jaxon. We have guys who would be offended you call this a throw away year. That’s disrespectful to our guys like Carr, brea, Williams, butler, etc. This is perhaps the most balanced roster we’ve had since 2015 and you call them throw away. I mean what kind of a fan does that. I promise you this because I hear pope talk it’s aligned with what I say and my expectations not your super low “throw away” expectations. And heres a shocker. We are a better TEAM without Robinson. That’s forced chandler to grow up and what does chandler do very well? Defend. He makes our team a better defensive team just one more perimeter guy to join butler. But this is a “throw away” year. Did Barney tell you that???
Not anti pope but still a skeptic. You realize his resume is worse than BCG? By all measure he wasn’t qualified going from a place like byu. The only reason people are defensive of pope is because he played for us. That’s no reason to hire someone and that’s basically all he had going at the time. So yeah a second round loss would be a massive wasted opportunity when this guy needs to build a resume on the job. There are plenty of fans like me who need to see something but they are afraid to say something because of the mob. Again winning in March is what’s always mattered at UK. It’s been a good season but if you get into the top 12 and do nothing with it yeah that’s not going to win pope support. Bbn needs to be solidify and totally believe in its program. Every is apprehensive until pope proves he can win in March and mark would tell you that himself.
Touched a nerve,, eeeh? Keep on keepin on being one of the worst shitty posters on here..
March always has been and always will be a crapshoot. Perfect example is looking at what the 2014 team did being a bubble team that got hot and went to the national championship game while the overall #1 2004 team lost in the second round. Would love to win all the postseason games but it seems you’ve set yourself up to be dissatisfied. Worrying about Popes resume during the hiring process is irrelevant since he already has been hired and is the coach. I hate to assume intent but it almost sounds like you’re upset that whatever guy you wanted didn’t get hired and you’re throwing something of a tantrum. You can either try to enjoy what’s going on or be miserable. That’s up to the individual
This is, was, and always has been a mulligan year . Pope has done a magnificent job. If we lose the next 2 games it will be disappointing, but it doesn’t change that fact.
