Seeing LOTS of ugliness online

[bbncal02]

Seeing a lot of posts on social media how Pope is the wrong guy, we keep lowering standards, yadda yadda yadda.

Look it's bad enough that those orange assholes think they're God's gift to basketball right now, but we sure as crap don't need it from BBN right now.

If you're calling for Pope to go tonight? Go outside. See that green stuff? Touch it.

Man, just wild how crap parts of the fan base are.

Get a life and get off the internet. Only fools that need attention are their. They were not breast feed as babies.

I think alcohol might have something to do with a lot of it

Pope is not the problem tonight. Far from it.

This guy was polishing a turd of a roster all year, and almost any other coach would not have gotten this team into the tournament.

Some people aren’t happy unless they’re complaining.

People are clowns online. It's a great night to learn who you can ignore moving forward.

I've seen a lot of "fans" saying they'd rather have Cal back, or Hurley cussing people out. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm losing my edge and my standards, but I'm just blown away by the amount of BBN turning on Pope right now.

Tossing Coaches in Yr 1 is how you become Indiana.

I wouldn't say it was a turd of a roster but he definitely got them to overachieve in a bunch of games and over the season.

Well.. we do have an entitled fanbase, even if it's not you or I.

I think its absurd anyone would be mad at Pope (not thay he didn't have some mistakes this game). But whatever.

 

[MegaBlue05]

I quit all social media last year except for this old school forum, and it's the best decision I have ever made.

I don't suffer fools well and those platforms are crawling with them.

Some folks really should sleep on it before running their traps.

You are a whiny little ninny. Grow up.

Mark Pope is our coach and I'll ride with him come hell or high water

 

[wccat2969]

People will complain. Why are you surprised? Do you really believe that 100% would be in agreement? Come on.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

It just wasn't our night. I hate it, but it happens. This team and Pope have healed a lot of BBN. Sucks that some fans really are just asshats, but I'm thankful for the season and I know we have the right man leading us.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

There's plenty enough on this board, from "fans"

I get it, it hurts letting Tennessee spank us on the main stage like that, but talking about replacing Pope is crazy talk.

Not to mention neither one of them are still in the tourney

Oh, by Yr 3 he better be in convo for a title. My standards aren't moving there. I just think it defies all logic and common sense to expect a title in Yr1.

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

People that are saying Pope is not the answer are not fans. We just need to recruit ALOT better next year. Our standard is not sweet 16s.

[KyLegacy]

Those people are trolls or idiots. Either way, best if you just ignore.

 

[fatguy87]

I think the scene here has been rather tranquil compared to previous years after the last loss.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Again really don't think we are going to be able to judge Pope one way or the other until he is able to recruit top end talent here.

Oh I am. This isn't my first day on the internet. I grew up in it. It still just makes me raise an eyebrow now and then though.

 

[HeismaNole]

First day on the internet? This fan base has always had idiots who overreact. They used to just stick to the call-in shows 😂

They need to sober up.

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Until? What if he never does? This type of talk is crazy. I am not asking for Pope to leave whatsoever, but recruiting is also a part of the coaching job. If a coach can't get the type of talent that his university deserves, then he's not doing his job.

 

[Jeff Sykes]

I don't think it is actually that they lost a game, it is the way they lost it that has the fans upset. I am fairly certain that most can agree they did not give their best effort. I saw a lot of standing on offense, and the rebounding, which is mostly effort, was nonexistent. People are used to seeing coaches show their emotions on the sidelines, and that just isn't Pope's style, so the fans may misinterpret that as him not caring. I'm as upset as most but I'm upset at the lack of effort and just don't understand how a team full of 5th and 6th year seniors could come out and not give that effort.

 

[BurnTheCouch]

It really does get to be too much.

What do they even get from it? Or the trolls here for that matter? Personally I'd like to see the internet stripped of anonymity. If you're gonna antagonize and be a deplorable human then do it with your real name and your whole chest.

TN didn’t have better players twice … Ohio State didn’t have better players…. Ole Miss didn’t have better players …this was coaching or lack of it….

Bump ^

Pope needs a full year. Next seasons finish will tell a lot about where we are.

 

[gojvc]

It’s a nice collection of role players. That’s all it ever really was. At the beginning of the season most people thought second weekend of the tournament would be a success. And that was assuming Robinson would be playing.

If he never does he's obviously gone.............but we are in year 1 of this thing lmfao.

It was ridiculous to assume this was going to happen right off the bat. That talk is crazy.

... the dark underbelly of social media is that the truly stupid people suddenly have a voice ... if you choose to listen.

The problem is even if you don't, they are LOUD. Getting harder to ignore.

Golden in his third year at Florida and a 1 seed in the Elite 8.
Not unfair to expect same or better from Pope at the University of Kentucky.

Those are fake ass fans. Obviously you can be upset with tonight's performance but overall you gotta be pretty happy with the season

I agree. Funnily enough, it's still Yr 1

Agreed. That’s still two years from today. People gotta let Pope cook
