What a rough month for Kentucky fans. The first round upset, a surprising resolution as Cal leaves on his own saving Kentucky MILLIONS.

Then this happens. What a fricking brutal Catfishing.

Pope has literally never won a single NCAA tourney game in his entire coaching career. To say his resume is underwhelming would be putting it lightly.

If I were Craft, I would absolutely not pay him more than $2-3 million a year for 3 years. If he doesn’t get results during the contract length, show him the door. That being said, Barnhart is a an absolute fricking retard and is putting his AD position on the line by doing this.

Barnhart might get fired for this one.


Maybe he wants out like Cal did. At some point you have to wonder what it's like dealing with the power brokers at UK. This is bizarre.

Y'know, I don't think this ends well for either team. Gonna be an interesting couple of years.

This coaching search requires Sonny taking it to the mattresses for an AD and we have gosh darn Opie in charge.

NIL is going to continue to hit us all hard and it is getting into the coaching world too. No more cultivating players. It’s a different world and none of us can count on things being the way they were in the past. We almost got hosed ourselves—absent something oddball or much bigger $ it is going to get harder to hire a coach when they are having success regardless where they may be.

Exactly why a home run hire wasn’t made. I love Kentucky basketball. But the fan base here sucks. Or maybe it’s just all these lowlifes on this forum

We are an awful fanbase. I’ve thought this for a while.

Sickening really. Most of which live paycheck to paycheck and don’t even know what they are watching and still spit out advice on the radio.

They just ended the KSR livestream on Youtube with a 30 second video of Pope rapping. It flashed back to the 5 journalists looking absolutely dejected and embarrassed, then ended.

It's freaking hilarious and very much reminded me of the horrible cringe videos that were released when Ark hired Morris.
