@@virgil5650 do you understand how much nonsense that comment is? What top level program is going to not crucify a coach that doesn't win first off? Coach Cal absolutely deserved the crucifixion he received. You think Duke fans or Kansas fans would not crucify both coaches if they didn't win? If Pope continues to do what he is doing by landing 2 major recruits and is on track for Wilson and Lewis possibly he will win. Byu last season with less talent than he has now was a 6 seed and beat Kansas. Yes they lost to an 11 seed as a 6 but Cal lost to Oakland lol. St. Peter's lol. So yes if Pope doesn't win just like at any top program he will get criticism but as a part of BBN we have faith and love that he is bringing us back to the roots of what made Kentucky a powerhouse in the 90s.
@@virgil5650 one, why watch this if you aren't a fan? Two, winning is an expectation at UK, yes. Pope acknowledges it, accepts it, and embraces it here.
@@virgil5650From your previous comments I can see you see are a UK fan, so why the dissent? Were you not fed up with early tournament exits, and not only that, but the endless amount of smoke being blown up our asses? The “wait til next years” the “I haven’t seen him yet” the inability to give a straight answer to ANY question? Did you enjoy listening to deflection after deflection? The absolutely zero insight into the program in the social media age? Maybe you were ok with the university being turned into a device used to babysit draft picks instead of one that is based in winning? The lack of game planning and adjustment? Maybe you enjoyed seeing future nba all stars struggle to compete against least talented but better prepared teams? I mean, I could go on and on. It was time for a change. Kudos to Cal for finally recognizing it and in his inability to change his philosophy he choose to save what little face he had left and changed scenery instead. I don’t understand your comment. You don’t get to ride that one title in 2012 your entire tenure to do things your way when it is in contrast with winning games. Not sorry at all about it. Fans first, players second. We’re paying them, not the other way around. We make this possible. Show us some honesty and humility, some accountability, some transparency…or gtfo. Try to win. Stop downplaying tournaments that fans spend an exorbitant amount of money to attend. No love lost. Can’t wait to fry up some bacon and boo to him and all the players that followed him to a rival school. I can’t speak for everybody else, but I want blood and come February 2025 in rupp arena we shall have our day!
Die-hard uk fan here since I was a child in the 70s. I appreciate everything cal did for us! Coach cal is gone,get off his ass,damn!! Some of you people like to hear yourself talk ,bitch and complain
Great seeing you Coach at the UK football game. As a former wildcat I am filled up with hope. FOR THE POPE ERA! OUT OF Nothing Comes Everything including Banners! Much respect for our new Boss! Be brave bold and unpredictable!! Next year lets have Big Blue Madness at Kroger Field outside with 70 instead of 24k. We are UK! My prediction is Coach Pope will raise the new Banner from this years championship! I Believe!
I'm from Cannelton Indiana but I love our wildcats,we needed a new coach and it's time for our 9th championship and mark I think you are the one who can make that happen go big blue 💙 Nation!!!!
This season going be fun to watch becuz we got new team new coach and staff 😁💪😺💙🤍🏀🔥🔥. Lets go cats ...BBN ❤ love the wildcats 4life 💙🤍💙🤍💙😺. Lets get it done. Pope ❤...women going be good too 😊
In pope we trust!!!!!! Let that sink in...... So pope played at Kentucky with some great players, that loved put that blue n white jersey on. He's got a lot eyes and brains, to help him with. Hopefully and I think he will, listen to them. Coach pope we do have 2 players that's been here. Grant Derbyshire, and walker horn been here for a few years. I know they won't play much, but can lead other guys about some things. What I love bout coach pope, is who he surrounded himself with, his coaching staff is solid!!!! He's got 2 best recruiter s in collage game, plus a young and excellent x and O's guy, in feuger. Gonna b a fun ride.
I am excited about Mark Popes 1st season but wish the reporters would have asked questions about the team, about the nuts and bolts, individual talents, how they look and fit together
I used to look up at that Pitino Banner and I understood why it was there, but I wasn't "proud" of it. I was a 90s kid so I missed his Kentucky years and always knew him as the bad guy. I am so glad that the circle comes around and we can all once again welcome Pitino back with open arms and really enjoy what he accomplished for KENTUCKY. I also look forward to the day the Calipari banner gets hung, and we can welcome him back home...Just not this season😂
Y'all realize we just went from a coach who didn't even care about the SEC Tournament to a guy calling the Blue/White Scrimmage the first big game of the season🎉
Lusten to me. I have listened to the cats with my grandparents and i am 56. The C A T S are ours again. Not trying to dis anybody. They are just ours. The cats will be successful and we will be happy.
