    I've spent the majority of the past 30 years outside of the continental United States.

    So....no defense.
    When you reach your mid fifties and are talking to others in their fifties, come talk to me. Things change.

    When I was in my thirties and early/mid fourties, people in my age range on Facebook cared more about things like UK basketball. Funny how age and life takes people in different directions than caring all that much about college athletics.

      Didn't even disagree politically even though I do not agree with lib political chaos theory.

      I understood why he did it. He's a weak willed moron who knows nothing outside of his bubble.

      The same problem with most of the American public.

      But, yeah, Cal had earned good will by then. He'd done something. Pope has done nothing of note as yet.
      Agree.

      I hate to say it, but could we be looking at BCG 2.0? At least Pope isn't embarrassing the program with his behavior and off the cuff remarks.

      I think his leash will be longer...but....wait. Scrap that. As badly as this team is playing, he really could be BCG 2.0 (as in, 2 and done). In BCG's favor in the fact that he never assembled a roster at $22 mil!

        too late...and it was a joke.

        no one really cares what you or I remember about games twenty years ago

Not having all the horses healthy certainly is a factor but in the games against good teams we have essentially been blown out. UofL got close at the end but they were down close to 20 most of the night. Sparty wasn’t close, we went an eternity without a FG against a UNC team who tried repeatedly to let us win, and Gonzaga beat us like we owed them money. This is not an acceptable product and Pope deserves the heat he’s getting.

          I don’t mean to come off as rude! Just the way I see it.
          Nope not rude at all..everyone has their own opinion
          I quit watching...tired of the excuses..like the Great Demarcus Cousins said last night ...This team has NO HEART

            That's one of the downsides to this particular forum - there is no ability to add any emojis. No laughing faces, no shrugging of shoulders, no winking, no thumbs up, etc. I've tried a few times and it always turns them into a question mark.

            Here, I'm going to add a thumbs up below....let's see what we get

              Always assume that I'm being a smart ass. That will help move things forward.

                It wasn't that way too long ago. I don't know what happened and I'm not a tech person, so I don't know how to fix it.

                    I am not happy with how this season is going, but I do not regret Cal leaving in any way, shape, or form.

                    I’d rather lose to UofL, Michigan St., UNC, and Gonzaga than Evansville, Robert Morris, UNC-Wilmington, and St. Peter’s.

                    I’d rather lose games to good teams with 3 starters missing than lose games to bad teams with a roster full of McD’s All-Americans.

                    I’d rather have a coach that agonizes over every loss like I do, than one who shrugs it off, makes excuses (“we’re young”), calls us fans “crazy”, and then goes home to watch Little House on the Prairie.

                    But that’s just me.
