Jimmy Dykes quick to dismiss

[Aike]

Talk of Mark Pope as COTY.

“Er er uh, Pat Kelsey. Uhhhh Bruce Pearl”

🤡

 

[Titpwhami2014]

I’ve got Tom and Goose synced with my TV. Can’t take any more of Dykes this year.

 

[chroix]

I just can’t see giving the COY to the preseason favorite to win it all. He’s coached to expectations. Pope has blown expectations out of the water. He’s almost a victim of his own success in regards to the COY competition.

 

[mg0721]

Pope's done a great job, but we have too many losses for him to be COTY

 

[Basil Cat]

Dykes certainly getting in shots at UK

Don’t really care what you think about Coty. No offense. Ravech tee’d it up for Jimmy to talk about Pope. He wouldn’t. Guy is terrible.

 

[chevyman 50]

ESPN is hard up to have someone like Dykes announcing.

He skipped over Pope, because he isn't a candidate for COTY.

Wrong! Ravech said how about Pope as COTY with the camera on Pope. Dykes said nothing about Pope whatsoever! He immediately shifted to Pat Kelsey. He’s a joke but I’m glad you like him.

 

[Mike_Edwards]

Jimmy is a piece of shit. Can’t stand the dude.

 

[chroix]

Sonofabitch talked about how important plays to end the half were and then when we executed he started hyping up Alabama.

Auburn was definitely not the preseason favorite to win it all. They were #11 in the preseason AP poll.

I'm pretty sure the post you replied to is right. Pope was not on the official coach of the year watch list.

 

[YankeeCpt]

the announcing has been garbage.
straight up bama propaganda.. they even said roll tide roll..

 

[UKWildcats1987]

This board is suddenly obsessed with coach of the year this season. Who gives a crap. It's about national titles and final fours here.

 

[Tprinceuk]

Talks about Bama's defense like it's been something special, if we make our free throws it's 47 to 46 but you would think were getting shut down on offense.

Are you guys really this dense?

 

[hotelblue]

dykes is one of the few announcer on earth who doesn’t openly root against kentucky while calling a game. for that alone i don’t hate him. he can be annoying, i get it.

Have you listened to the first half, he's doing it right now.

 

[Aike]

To sum up:

Ravech tossed Dykes a softball to brag on Mark Pope.

Dykes let the pitch sail by, then immediately started hyping Pat Kelsey and Bruce Pearl.

This post isn’t about whether or not Pope deserves COTY. It’s about a horrible announcer, calling a Kentucky game, actively avoiding giving our coach credit for his accomplishments.

 

[Tf2217]

May not be popular but it might be dude at Mizzou. They've had a DRASTIC turnaround.

 

[TTTblue24]

I’d say after ksr called out game day then espn has said something to them about uk.

 

[JFCats22]

Pope had done a great job but I don’t understand how anyone can make any argument that he should be in consideration for COTY

 

[hotelblue]

Have you listened to the first half, he's doing it right now.

yeah i watched and listened. i don’t hear him cheering against kentucky. he’s calling out clear weaknesses, like letting sears go all the way to the rim whenever he wants.

 

[Fancatstik]

The combination of Dick and Dykes is an unlistenable as it gets

You lost the plot homie

 

[legalbeagle123]

Ravech and Dykes are terrible.

He definitely isn’t coach of the year. Can’t be either double digit losses

Watchable?

Dykes is an idiot, makes up these stupid terms that nobody has ever heard of.

He is making watching games unbearable.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

I stopped listening to Jimmy Dicks years ago.

 

[phunterd]

Agree that this used to be case. Prior to this season I never had an issue with Dykes. But a switch has flipped this year. He clearly does not like Kentucky now.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Dikes is a clown. Dookie v wannabe with even less talent.

If that’s possible?

Pope has done a fantastic job and is worthy in the conversation, you're totally missing the point.

I know he’s done a great job. I’m saying you can’t win coach of the year with double digit losses

 

[Bluesbrother]

Pope's done a great job, but we have too many losses for him to be COTY

Exactly ... and this takes nothing away from Pope.

Maybe Jimmy should've said something like that when it was teed up for him..

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Dykes is awful.

ESPN needs to make a “violent cut” from their announcing team. Get Dykes to the Nail at the Free Throw line. Then notice the words “Hotizon League” in the paint. That’s a good place for him to be announcing games.
