I guarantee if the committee has a chance to match Pope and BYU up in the

tourney, they absolutely will. It’s a great storyline that would generate eyeballs.

When Pope left and Chandler backed out, it felt like 1993 all over again.

Though Pope did get his first win today. I wonder if we'll play him in the NCAA

Make no mistake. It had little to do w Pope leaving. It was all about BYU doing a 180 in their restrictions on

It blew up (positively) after he left. Why so?

Good question. But seeings it was the BYU way in the 100 years before Pope came, why blame Pope?

I'm not blaming Pope. But if he would have stayed do the NIL deals we are seeing

No. They were coming VERY slowly before Pope left. I think it's clear they were part of KY's contract

Pope wasn’t dealing with Bull as you call it. That is not fair. Pope wanted to

Phreddy, you're pullin stuff. You do it every time.

I like Pope but he didn’t work with anyone. You know I am not making this up.

Pope tried to work hard to wake the Admin up to the opportunity NIL was giving them

I'm sorry, man. I could be confusing you w another poster. I really need some shut-eye.

We have never had a beef. Must be someone else. I usually think you are spot on.

Thanx, bro. I do get pretty defensive about Pope round here. And it's silly of me.

I have a feeling this really rubs Pope the wrong way

Why would it? He's at his dream job getting even more support than KY is. I think BYU's in his rearview.

Maybe Pope should have worked harder at getting along with people in the

Is that how you get unprecedented support at BYU?? Coaches before Pope were fine w punching their ticket largely.

Pope didn’t work with Admin, AD, Asst AD, donors… he only has himself to blame.

As a coach, you don't "work with people" in the high-stakes recruitin Pope was doing. You have a financier on speed dial

He got what he wanted - to coach Kentucky.
