Fulla gsrbage. You have only rumors and wild guesses about 22 million. Just wanting to be a smart guy with h a chip on their shoulder from being an armchair expert.
outta here with that garbage. The spiel has turned stupid. Knock It off. Go cheer for whoever else is your favorite team.

Whatever, I been on this site 20 plus years,there is no other team, ever. If we didn't get attacked by Isis and reset plus my 3 year ban for engaging in the political forum, I would over 70k post for my arm chair so called smart guy bs. From my deceased neighbor Mike Casey ,Issel ,Coach Crum, Rondo, team bus driver of 3 UK coaches ,to many many and I mean many UK connections over the years, I ain't here to sugar coat or be a 24/7 rah rah rah cheer leader. Hell a good friend of mine was a scout for the Toronto Raptors for years, I been around the block a time or two.

Anybody in their right mind will tell you that when you spend in excess of 22 million on a team in college basketball you damn sure have the right to demand excellence as a fan.Hell the 22 million doesn't even include the side deals. Name another team that spent that much this off season? Hell, if you want to get real technical, these players been making money for years. My family supplied vehicles and everything in between to both UK and UL for damn near 40 years.

Mark Pope has told you time and time and time again that this team has sucked it has to get better, he has to figure it out, dumb founded at the progression of the team. He even had a complete mental breakdown anxiety attack. Should he quit or go coach or cheer for another team?

I can't wrap my head around why the amount of money makes people MORE upset when the team isn't performing. Would you be less mad if it was only $10 million?

And the $22M isn't even substantiated. It's a rumor. We don't even really know if it's more or less than any other team. And did you pay the money?

It just makes no sense.

Was traveling yesterday and listened to majority of game online. Lost reception with about 5 mins left and just hoped we could hang on to the lead. Hopefully the last two games give some confidence and momentum heading into SEC.

JQ seems like the real deal. Oweh is starting it play like we thought. Lowe is needed on the floor for this team to move, keep him in bubble wrap when not playing.

In the post game presser, Pope joked that Lowe was lobbying to be a “game only player,” or coach said, looking to his left toward Jalen with a half smile on his face, “maybe it was me.”

I’m not opposed to bubble wrap either. Boy do we need Mr Lowe to stay on the floor.

Practice? We talking about practice! - As long as the game drop off from not practicing is not a problem, let the guy sit at the doctors and massage therapist every day till game day, lol.

Pitino stood up for Pope yesterday in the post game, told the writers to write better stories.

Fair point, forget about the money.

You are a pace and space finesse coach who wants to shoot 35 threes a game but you bring in smash mouth athletic bodies that don't shoot well..

Who's fault is that?

Regardless, looks like Pope made the change towards his philosophy. Yesterday we played smash mouth physical basketball and won.
