Please Fill Rupp Arena on Sunday

[9timeChampion]

With loud boos

you are probably in your 20s. I'd throw tomatoes at people who boo someone who hasn't coached a game yet at Kentucky.

 

[jameslee78]

Please Please those of you that live in Kentucky and can get to Rupp Arena go fill it up and GET LOUD.

Public press conference open to the public to introduce Mark Pope!

Show the world the power of BBN!

Let's show up and show out let's show uconn fans how we do it.

 

[Balzac]

They should not do it at Rupp on Sunday.

Keeneland is going to draw a ton of people away and Rupp is so big that even if 1,000 people show up it's going to look emptyg

Very good points. If the weather is nice down there on Sunday, keeneland will be packed. Have it on the infield 😋

 

[UKfan215]

Anyone who shows up at this event to boo our new coach should receive a righteous ass-kicking. Cal deserved to be booed. Mark Pope doesn't. So please, don't be an ass.

 

[Deli owl]

That's the best way to keep Mitch

 

[bbncal02]

With loud boos

Why? Will Cal be there or something?

 

[cat tat2]

Rupp Arena introduction Sunday at 4:30. Per WLEX 18.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

It would be cool to see more people come to welcome back Pope than showed for UConn’s natty party. BBN could do that.

 

[fadkins82476]

Huh?

There's a public press conference Sunday

 

[fadkins82476]

Just stop with the Mitch hate already. He apologized for the timing, but it is what it is.

No one gives a crap about golf

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Someone get on the horn and invite John Wall!!!

 

[CUJO_1970]

I'd love to see the 96 team there.

Hell I'd freaking love to see Pitino introduce him!

 

[UKhoopCat]

And if you are going to boo the introductory press conference for our new coach who wants to succeed here, then please stay home. Please.

I totally agree, but I don’t think you’ll hear a single boo Sunday.

I think we’re united again and everyone is supportive of Pope’s hire. He’s going to do great things at UK.

 

[3Eye]

My wife, son, and I will be there, Lord willing.

 

[Diggers_Matching_Highlighter]

Do that many people care about televised golf?

I’m not trying to be rude, but seems like something a simple check of a cellphone would suffice.

Yes...it is literally the Masters.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Final round of the Masters.

Barnhart is one hell of a thinker.

DVR the Masters!!!! KENTUCKY FIRST!!!!

 

[sluggercatfan]

Just stop with the Mitch hate already. He apologized for the timing, but it is what it is.

THE POPE wants to hit the ground running on Monday. Gotta a program to build!

[Blueisbest]

If I didn't have to work on Sunday, I would drive down from Louisville to see this. I hope it will be televised.

 

[Emarc]

No one gives a crap about golf

No one?

 

[WCSPlayedWRInHS]

Man it’s tempting to drive down and potentially be there for history. I’m feeling really good about this hire after initially being totally let down by it. I’ll own that I was a crybaby last night but the more I hear about pope the more excited I get for what he can do. The man was able to field teams just as good as what cal was doing lately and at a school where they can’t even have sex and must sign a pledge. Imagine what he could do with a big upgrade to the talent! And he’s gonna have at least 4 million to get that talent. LFG BOYS!!!!!!

 

[Catfanlou]

It's like I have suspected all along. There are a lot of non UK fans on this site.
Whether you agree with the hire or not. You aren't a UK fan if you don't get behind Mark Pope and give the man a chance.
Kentucky has gone from a coach who could care less about the university or it's fans.
To a coach who loves Kentucky and the fan base. The man bleeds blue.
He may or may not work out. Fact is Not a single person knows for sure if he will or won't.

Great post

 

[Catfanlou]

No one?

Yes no one goes to the golf course I live on anymore because it’s too crowded.

 

[jeffky]

I have to do some vending in Lexington Sunday me and my better half going to try to drop In need to find out the time go cats

 

[Rockfly78]

I’m still upset. It will take a while for me. But yes please go Sunday. Cal had a big crowd for his. Beat that number and beat it bad

 

[5percentFringe]

Just stop with the Mitch hate already. He apologized for the timing, but it is what it is.

You should stop policing peoples opinions in an open forum. It's a bad look.

 

[5percentFringe]

Also, GO CATS! Love the Mark Pope hire.

 

[TankedCat]

hell yea I'm going
4:30 Sunday

I'm gonna make some noise for our new coach

 

[Girthang]

Yeah we don't fill rupp for games on Sunday anymore, I doubt anyone shows up for this since it's gonna be nice. Don't take it personal Mark but SOME fans are ran down from the last few years and not really interested in giving more yet. Just do your job for now and good luck.

Fify

 

[Girthang]

Yes, they are having open tryouts to be a member of the UK Wildcats Men's Basketball team.

Good luck!

They should charge a fee and let ANYONE try out to raise money for NIL! THAT would be a frickin BLAST, both to watch and take part!!

Who wouldn't drop $40-50 to go through a mock try out complete with team photo or an autograph session. Seriously? That's money

 

[Jakerz]

Show up. Cheer the hell out of pope.

Then everyone grow some nuts and start chanting fire Mitch.

 

[Girthang]

With loud boos

We get that you're not a UK fan. Move along troll

 

[sam_o]

Me and mine will be there. We support this program.

 

[Emarc]

Free parking?

 

[Catapult]

Currently planning to go with my daughter. We missed the last 2 as she was still in school at the time.

 

[bereback]

Pope is a great man and a good coach, Barnhart is the idiot in this hire and kentucky basketball will pay a steep price for Barnhearts stupidity

Bringing my daughter too. I want her to experience introducing a new coach

Ok. 🥱

 

[5percentFringe]

It's official. I'll be there, the older, nice looking fella with the "I Still Hate Laettner" shirt. GO BIG BLUE!

A lot of the people here bet money on these games and players, they participate in NBA fantasy leagues. It's easy to see.
