I do not care about that team last year. Big whoop.

I am talking about a few of those Barcello years. AB himself was not a bad locker room guy. But the team was not a unit. And it was exacerbated by Pope trying to just speak "best locker room" into existence rather than stay silent or acknowledge there were issues.

That's some deep shade at the former pontiff. "No hype slogan."

Kind of lame shade too. Lacomb is definitely not a Pope fan, not sure if it’s

TL had loyalty to some players Pope pulled scholarships from

Mar 20, 7:01pm

All other things aside, TL is not wrong on this one thing.

TheWanderer

Mar 20, 7:03pm

And right on target. Every statement from Pope sounded like Dick Vitale.

Woah.

Yeah, Tim. Get in your Pope digs.

Call him whatever you want. He’s got a decent point.

CPAcoug87

If I recall right, Pope & last year's team said the same thing about themselves.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:02pm

No

Goliath

Mar 20, 7:03pm

"said about themselves"

Goliath

Mar 20, 7:03pm

That’s his point. Last year and the year before it was a catchphrase.

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:03pm

It was a Pope mantra. Even when we had Seneca Knight.

TheWanderer

Mar 20, 7:04pm

I'm well aware of that. But Pope (& the team) put it away last season & said

And if you hate the HC, it probably wouldn't mean a thing to you

SinkingQuffa

They also had no business losing to Duquesne.

Without our one rim protector & our star C playing on a worthless knee...

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:23pm

Excuses. Pope’s record speaks for itself.

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:24pm

What's your boy Tim doing these days? Still funneling BYU recruits to the yewts?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:33pm

He’s not “my boy”

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:41pm

That Mark Pope has personality extremities that ain't for everyone?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:45pm

I don’t understand how that comment makes him “small”, but whatever 🤷

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:56pm

The locker room quickly turned into a disaster that led to finishing under .500

Mar 20, 7:02pm

And they didn't rebound last season?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:05pm

RE: And they didn't rebound last season?

Mar 20, 7:07pm

That's what I expected. It's truth though, Charles. The core of that team

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:09pm

Expected? You are defending an absolute trash season by pointing to the next

Mar 20, 7:11pm

Give it up Charles. For us true BYU fans who appreciated the very good things

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:16pm

5-5 in the last 10

Mar 20, 7:22pm

Why go back so far? That's half of league play.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:25pm

No it’s not. It include three tournament games. Would you prefer 3-5 last 8?

Mar 20, 7:28pm

Wait, we got to Game 3 of the tourney??? But you just...

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:30pm

Yeah we finished soooo low in the standings we got to play two games before the

Mar 20, 7:33pm

Odd to call it the core of that team

Mar 20, 7:13pm

You keep going back to last year.

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:14pm

Yeah, I'm into recency when vilifying a person is the name of the game.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 20, 7:18pm

I don’t think you know what meathead means

Mar 20, 7:22pm

So, do you think Pope actually believed it when he said that during those years?

CPAcoug87

Mar 20, 7:23pm

I am old school he should have said shone.

Florwood

Mar 20, 7:03pm

I don’t see the need to tear down Pope - sorry Lacomb felt the need to, they

Rhubarb

Agreed

palangi

Tim LaComb needs to quit taking shots at Pope. Not a good look

OKchief

Mar 20, 11:30pm

You know what’s a bad look?

RedSox

Pope tries to kick Trey off the team

RedSox

Mar 21, 7:38am

Or, to put it differently, Pope DID kick him off the team

SinkingQuffa

Mar 21, 9:01am

Pope was known for breaking promises...Rudi Williams was told he was the guy

1984coug

Mar 21, 11:11am

I watched the games too. If you want to believe Trey belonged on the court

SinkingQuffa

Mar 21, 12:27pm

Pope promised a lot to a lot of players... that is a direct quote from a player

1984coug

Mar 21, 1:11pm

Coaches "task," "assign," "promise" (what have ya) roles to players ALL the time

SinkingQuffa

Mar 21, 2:16pm

Probably not a good look or professional but 100% true.
