You support Pope as the coach, we're not going to move past that fact
I DO NOT support Pope as the coach!!!!!!

He's terrible, but he's not leaving, so I'm going to hope, just like I did with Stoops when I KNEW he wouldn't be fired that he would succeed because I hate losing!!!!

If he loses 10+ games next year or goes out early in the post season, I hope he's fired!!!

If I truly had my way, I'd want a new coach right now!!

Then we agree on this fact

You can see me...

I use my real picture, and I'll give you my real name.

I think everyone on here should have to.

I'm not anyone's enemy on here. You guys are the ones getting personal.

I'm just stating the opinion that emotional fans can sometimes make things worse.
I was just doing a play on words on the quote from the old OKSt football coach.

Someone’s fandom isn’t dependent on how they feel about Pope. People who want him fired, want him to get more time, or just flat-out understanding he’s getting a third year no matter what you want can all be awesome fans, horrible fans, and anything in between. Claiming only one side can be a “real fan” is absurd and makes you look ridiculous.
Probably true.

I would say the folks who want Pope to stay are “low IQ” fans, but you are right, that doesn’t make them less of fans.

Yeah I know alot of folks like the elderly lady you described. They only are fans when the Cats are in Final Fours. These aren’t your true fans, but cool story.
Respectfully, you are wrong. I am like that lady. Yes, I've set my phone alarm to remind me of upcoming games (especially those with odd start times). I do watch every game. When I can't be home, I watch the replays. Even if I know they did not win (and even try to analyze what may have gone wrong). For people like me, there is no off season. I scour athletic sites for updates and how the the next season should play out. And I still manage DO have a life outside of UK basketball. People like us do exist.
I appreciate the "story" from the original post.

Bandwagon fans aren't fans of losing teams. Hence the term "bandwagon". Do you even know what that word means?
you obviously don't know the definition.. seeing your posts over the years...you only like them when they are on top of the world and only then...just because you post on a message board 24/7 doesn't mean you really support them...it means you have nothing else to do

I just did a home inspection for a sweet elderly UK fan here in Florida. She has memorabilia all through the house and a flag out front. She said she is disgusted with the state of the program and that her mother, who lived to be 105, never missed a game on TV and would sometimes set her alarm if she had to, in order to wake up to watch. She said she was optimistic about Pope when he got hired but that he clearly isn't up to the job. I even tried to console her with the upcoming football season and she said "I don't know anything about football." 🤣

Just a reminder that the trolls here do NOT represent BBN IN. THE. SLIGHTEST.

Your elderly customer must have been really disgusted with the program the last 4 years of Calipari.

Not sure how I am wrong and quite frankly I am just like you. You missed the point on me saying I know several people who have rooms full of UK paraphernalia and couldn’t name 3 players from last years roster. The amount of UK memorabilia doesn’t make a true fan. You can bet those folks will know the roster when the team is in the Final Four though.
