Post Game show

[JFCats22]

The official post game show is the one before Matt's show and is 70% commercials.

Its horrible to listen to.

100%

The official UK post game show is absolute trash and nearly unlistenable. It's a terrible production with awful content.

Sorry i hurt your feelings enough to search for a GIF haha

You didn't hurt any feelings. Just made yourself look stupid and the entire board is laughing at you.

Not when you are a fan of the program and not their boss. Your point would hold water if Matt was Pope's boss. He isn't. His job is to discuss UK sports among other things. There is nothing wrong with what he said or did. Going from Drew or Hurley to Pope was a bit of a let down at the time. The criticism was also directed more at Mitch than it was Pope. He also criticized the board for not allowing Mitch to interview many of the other candidates. It was an out of the blue unexpected hire that left plenty scratching their heads. It took a little time for people to buy in and there is nothing wrong with that.

This.

Everyone gets a pass for that Thursday night. A lot of us were in a drunken fit of rage towards barney (me for sure).

Om the thread, don't listen OP. I don't and I'm just fine with watching just the actual games.

He also….checks notes….criticized the mark pope hire, calling it a poor decision before the man coached a game or recruited a player.

Was he alone in that reaction as if it were unique? I would say 98 percent of BBN, myself included, had that initial reaction to the Pope hire. But, within 48 hours, most tunes had changed.

I still don’t see how this attempted gotcha on your part has anything to do with Cal “blackballing” KSR, which is what I was responding to.

I hope it’s because Jones is too hyperbolic. Just to put a super ironic cherry on top.

 

[Elliott Tim]

Yep, and the way Pope recognized him and the applause he got at Pope's introduction at Rupp probably means MJ is going to be in tight with the basketball program now. He's a big fan that's making a living like 99% of us other Kentucky fans would like to be doing.

You are so right.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Im ok with Matt. It is only a matter of time till he gets on the wrong side of the staff. He always does.

Huh? He's cancerous, but now you're okay with him? FTR...Cal is basically the only staff Matt has been around for. And Matt has said plenty of times, Cal helped (in a huge way) build Matt's business. If "always" is pissing Cal off for honestly evaluating whatever 9-16 was and then the ensuing downslide, then I guess he "always" does get on the wrong side of the staff. But he's only been on the wrong side of one staff. And that staff didn't have many on their side when they tucked their tails and headed for the Ozarks and pigs.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

there is nothing wrong with criticizing someone before you give them a chance to do 1 day on the job? I hope you are not in a manager/supervisor role because if so you suck at your job.

He didn't criticize Mark Pope. He criticized the hire. How can you not differentiate? There's still a really good chance this WAS, in fact, a bad hire. Mark Pope, had he never played at UK, would've never been considered for this job. It could also turn out to be a really good hire. But, make no mistake, if "UK National Champ" weren't on his resume he'd have been laughed out of the room.

Does UK have a contract for this? MJ needs to be releived of his duties for this show He is a cancer to this fanbase.

Coach Cal, this you?

I’m not criticizing you as a poster, I’m criticizing the mods for not banning you and allowing you to post.

Not on your best day chump

I’m glad to have KSR post-games and actually wish they’d replace the timeslot for the official UK one, because it’s straight 💩. At minimum, with KSR you’ll actually get a pulse that relates to how the game went, instead of the same boring stat recaps and rehearsed questions.

 

[Ukheadhunter]

The post game coaches show should be much better now that Coach Pope is our coach.

Cool story bro

Thats what makes Pope understand the BBN. He was a part of it in 95-96 and never left. He was not born into it, he earned it so to think he will fail is foolish. He knew he had caught lightning in a bottle when Barnhart called. He also knows what the BBN wants in a coach, expectations be damned. He could have played it safe but he didnt.

 

[Blueisbest]

Methinks maybe OP never got his promised Wendys gift card for being the caller of the day and is still butthurt about it.

 

[crawfords corner]

Billy Gillispie, now that was a cancer to the program. I'm no Matt Jones fan, but I wouldn't go anywhere close to calling him a cancer. That's quite overboard. You're free to your own thought, though.

Agree on the pass, except for those who are still going negative every time we sign a transfer.

I don’t disagree, in fact I agree about the understanding it part. That, in and of itself, doesn’t mean he won’t “fail”. And what is failing? Last 3 yrs of Cal? Or BCG type records? Last few yrs of OTS? I think there’s a solid chance those are the types of years Pope produces. That’s basically been his track record. Or, with UK resources, good players, and a system that works he could take off. For obvious reasons we all hope this works. But to say someone is foolish for thinking it won’t is a little silly.

MJ went hard after cal and did what he had to in order to help run cal out.

 

[BigTyrone]

The only thing I like about the UK postgame is the coach interview. The KSR postgame is usually so much more interesting, especially for football games.


And a cancer to the fan base? That’s just a silly statement.

So did 90% of us in that first 24 or so hours. By that Friday we had all calmed down a a little.
