Thank you for sharing, Smash.

Good stuff. I like Rome even after Chris Everett wanted to tear his head off. His "__Guy" takes are as hilarious as they are legendary.

Explain for those of us not in the know?

Mark Pope literally comes across as the template for what a contemporary college basketball coach SHOULD "look" ** and sound like


(I don't mean ** look like in terms of physical attributes - i mean the entire presentation , coaching style, communication manner and how he carries himself)

Couldn't be happier about #41 having the reigns

I miss when Rome was on the radio. Best in the business

Thanks! Where can I find the entire interview?

Three thoughts:
1 -- Pope just knocks it out of the park every time he opens his mouth.
2 -- I want Jim Everette to walk in the room and punch Rome every time Rome opens HIS mouth.
3 -- Pope just knocks it out of the park every time he opens his mouth.

I truly believe Pope will do great things at UK.

You just did the the same thing that made him want to tear his head off.

His name is Jim Everett …and he REALLY hates being called Chris.

I hadn’t thought about Jim Rome in probably 20 years.

Dude i was stationed with in NE played him in the office - that was 1995-96

I was a little surprised to see he is still working

Radio "personalities" (thinking sports
Radio jockeys). -- do they make enormous money?

Maybe its a combination of pay and fringe benefits from sponsors and local businesses that makes it a higher paying job


Like someone who was a major personality in a market like Atlanta -- Steak Shapiro, Buck Belue, Two-Live Stews etc

^ are those kind of ppl making six figures you think?

I didn’t know this guy still had a show. Haven’t heard his name mentioned in like 7-8 years.

I absolutely love the quote by Pope saying that people on the plane with recruits come down the escalator first to let Pope know that the recruit is in the bag because they talked to them the whole flight. I can totally see that happening, lol.

And I can also picture the traumatized look on the poor recruit’s face after he found himself cornered with no escape by BBN fanatics on an airplane for two hours.
