Our fanbase is trash

Our fanbase is an absolute joke. I gotta assume most have zero true basketball knowledge and live in fantasy land or their moms basement. People questioning Pope after what he’s had to deal with the entire year. People dogging players who really shouldn’t be playing if the team was at full strength. We are getting beat by a potential tournament favorite. If you’re reading this and getting upset…you’re the problem.
This guy loves getting beaten by 30 points in the SEC Tourny 😂
 
Yeah that would be nice.
I believe Cal done it 3 times in 15 years
With NUMEROUS NBA players playing for him in those 15 years.

Pope just needs some time. Unlike Cal, who QUIT his last 4 years with future NBA players. Losing to LOW major schools not only during the season but during the NCAA Tournament!!!

Sure, all of those "Rock fights" with dudes that couldn't throw it in the ocean here until last season, then he decides to sit the 2 that could make shots on the bench.

Those NCAA Tournament games were a HOOT!! Heck, Bruce Pearl beat Cal with his best player HURT in the Elite 8 in 2019. And St Peters and Oakland were JUGGERNAUTS!!!
 
Look I'm gonna be real with you sonofbitches. I don't think most expected to win tonight, I didn't. However I didn't expect the biggest beat down of the year in friendly Nashville after losing by 13 with about the same team at Bama.

I'm not throwing in the towel, I love this team but we are the only blowout of the entire SEC tourney and I'm confident it stays that way. 29pts is an embarrassment to a team you lost to by 5 and 13.

The refs are trash, Bama is good and it's not easy. I get it, but I just wish there'd been a little more fight. Plus how does Carr go 8 of 10 and only play 19mins. Dudes unstoppable inside. I don't know play Remember the Titans or something for them. Just don't lose the first one. Win 2 and you're our heroes. 29 just hurts. That may have cost us a seed line and maybe it should.

I'm never ok with losing but I know the score and throw in SEC refs and I just wanted us to compete. Not sure we did in the 2nd half.

I'm also ready and 100% ok with Pope's 1st technical. Guys getting stitches back to back nights and only a call against us. I love Pope but you gotta fight for your players if you want them to fight. Oweh splashed blood all over the court and got called for his jaw fouling the guy. Chandler had more than Ulis blood coming down and Carr bad back got pummeled to the ground and Pope has the same look.

Maybe even keel wins the day at some point but this bs the past 2 days I wanted him to loose it. I mean some of this was bad I want these refs to at least go oh shit he might not take everything we are gonna cram down his throat.
 
Can anyone admit that Cal had a better roster and results than Pope year 1?! ANYONE!?

Cal’s 2010 roster or Cal’s 2025 roster?

Yes his 2010 roster was better. He also inherited Patrick Patterson, DeAndre Liggins, Daniel Orton, Josh Harrellson, Ramon Harris and Perry Stevenson. Pope inherited Walker Horn and Grant Darbyshire.

Cal brought Cousins and Wall with him. Bledsoe and Dodson were Memphis bound too. Pope brought Robinson.

The results are yet to be determined. If you remember, we had no business losing to WVU with all that talent. Our 6 first rounders got owned by the current Celtics coach.

If you can’t see these two situations were totally different in completely different eras of college basketball, I can’t help you. Shit that worked in 2010 is no longer applicable to 2025. 15 years is a long time.

Wut?! I'm pretty sure Cal never dropped a game by 29 points.. especially in March..

Welp, you’d be wrong.

Cal lost by 30 at UT in mid-February with a shorthanded team due to injury to the team’s most important player, Nerlens Noel.

UT finished 20-13 that year and lost to Mercer in the first round of the NIT.


Cal also lost by 26 at Alabama in 2023 in a game we trailed 72-41 with 5 minutes left.

It is true Cal never lost a postseason game this bad at Kentucky, but losing to a 15 and 14 seed twice in three years is still worse. Nobody will remember taking an ass kicking in a conference tournament quarterfinal. The Peacocks will live forever in UK infamy.
 
Correct. How many NCAA tournament wins does Pope have?
i wonder how many missed tournaments he’d have with a roster full of 5 stars. which is the most embarrassing shit in the history of college basketball. hell, dean smith is laughing. how many oakland’s does he have with multiple top 10 nba draft pick? how many st. peter’s does he have with the national player of the year? good lord. epic, all-time embarrassment.

cal is a supreme underachiever. he’s had how many all american’s and players of the year? one title? and he nearly blew that.

he did.

but more cal is to take a 20 point lead, with supreme talent, and then lose by 10. because he can’t coach worth a shit.

Lost by 34 to DOOK in the Champions Classic. Pope beats them first time out in the Champions Classic. You're an idiot and look like a fool. You think that you are funny sitting in your parents' basement giggling your fat titties off eating Cheetos thinking how you got these guys good..but the joke is on you!

And shit the bed with all of those NBA All-Stars then and throughout his career except one year. A real winner that one is. I'm convinced if he had it all over to do again with Anthony Davis, would find a way to screw that up to. Lost 11 games with 7 NBA players in 2017-18. Can't win a title with KAT, Booker, WCS, Ulis and the Harrison Twins.
