Now will people get off Pope's *** and support this team

Sadly, they won't. Some people are only happy when they're miserable.

The same sad clowns will continue to cheer against Pope. They'll be miserable after every win.

I'll support the players and cheer like crazy but Pope has a LOT to prove on the court before the majority of us have this dumb blind faith you goobers do

Fireeeee Poop!!🔱

I don’t see anybody “miserable” when we win. Ever. Thats just a moronic thing to say.

Does that logically make sense? Do you REALLY believe that people invest a large portion of their life to unjustly hate Mark Pope and feel miserable when UK wins games? I don’t think Mark Pope is UK material as a head coach, but I’m fine if you do. I hope he proves me wrong. I’ll be the happiest fan out there if he does because I love this program. But if you really believe what you said, you’re an utter fool.

With this great get, will everyone quit being negative and just support our team and be positive until we see what happens?

Because he finally got a recruit? Lol no. He needs to prove he can do it. Luckily for real UK fans, he won’t get that chance cause we will still suck this year.

Easy there Doc, if you are indeed a Doc. There have been multiple people here state that they hope we lose so Pope gets fired. As a matter of there was a whole thread full of them. Don't be so quick to call people fools.

No...but you would think a "great" fanbase wouldn't need a reason to support him

His statement was an insinuation that fans that don’t believe in Mark Pope just want to see the program fail. It’s the exact opposite. That said, I’d much rather see the team go 16-16 next year and get a better coach, than to see Pope sneak into the tourney and stay on for the next 4-5 years, continuing to set the program back with early rd exits; IF I had to choose between those two options. Any competently minded fan would agree. On the flip side, I’d much rather he prove me wrong and show that he is in fact capable of running the greatest program in college basketball history. That is the best possible outcome, and the one that gives me the most joy, and I don’t know a single fan personally that would rather see Pope fail just to prove their self right.

This is overly harsh! Pope's story as a coach is still being told. The latest update to the story is a potential talent upgrade. If he continues to fail with better talent, then he will be politely shown the door. .

Not hard to find posts all over this board hoping Pope misses on recruits so we'd lose enough to get him fired...

Your daddy

Not on this board. Go to Wildcatnatio n if you want real fans

There are "fans" on here like Lineskicat who literally want to cut his NIL funds so he can't get good players and will then lose so we can get a new coach. So yes, there absolutely are "fans" who actively want him to fail. Just because it sounds crazy (and it is) doesn't mean it isn't true.

It makes sense to them lol. The fact we hate losing 14 games a year is kinda weird to them.

Yeah I’ll cut him some slack til the season starts

You’re kidding right? Get off his *** just because he GOT (or rather several million dollars got) a player to COME HERE! No one should get off his *** until he actually does something with what’s on his roster. Last year was one of the bigg disasters in UK basketball history…..signing a guy in the transfer portal doesn’t even begin to get me to get off Pope’s ***.

It’s his money. Plus we are all estatic we finally got an elite player. He is now like 1 for 50 on his elite player offers outside a hurt JQ who did nothing, but make us piss away 3M dollars. Just because people want actual on court changes now doesn’t make them bad fans. We still lost double digit games and got blown out a few too many times especially when it counted in his best year here so far.
