I don't hate him. I hope he succeeds there. However, the way he left was reminiscent of when the Colts left Baltimore.

I appreciated Pope's enthusiasm while he was here, but KY's personality has been refreshing for me.

But losing to 15 seeds also sucks

carlstud

10:04am

I would trade 1 title for 10 losses as a 1 seed to a 16 seed. All day long.

Amazing: he's gone, and BYU hoops seems better off in every way

Still Blue
