Good deflection
Not a deflection, just a question. If you won't be paying attention will you also not be posting about something you aren't paying attention to? Specially since your 5 posts since joining yesterday are about something you won't be paying attention to.

Calling reality excuses isn't the difference you believe it to be. Were you ready to fire Pitino after his second round loss in 1994? Was his "excuse" of Rodney Dent going down for the year unacceptable and proof he couldn't coach? If Mashburn had been injured early in the '93 season would a Final Four or bust demand still have been your position?

Pitino just came off an elite 8 and final four. Man. You are awful at this.

Pitino had already been in a final four and an elite 8and had success in the NBA, and was known as one of the great minds of the game. He also had great recruits coming and was known as a home run hire before he even won.

Pope had 0 tournament wins in 10 years. This gets better and better.

Try again.

The more time goes on…. The Pope hire is looking worse and worse each day. Seriously how did we not revolt when he was hired?

If I went off of initial reaction… I was completely like what in the absolute fck is going on. I thought it was one of those fake news things.

Then the pep rally happened and it was like sure let’s try it out.

His time is up. Thanks for beating Duke. Goodbye pope.

I do. We get the square root of zero most games from Brandon Garrison and Jelovich. And tonight we needed them to do something. I had high hopes that these 2 guys would contribute consistently this season.

I was obviously talking about the claim that injuries are no excuse. The elite 8 and final four seasons were not handicapped by a series of injuries to key players. '94 postseason was derailed by one key injury. So your claim is now injuries are a valid reason but only when following successful seasons?

Possibly. But this team has also proven really good team can win by 30. In bracing for a blowout, but the one good thing here is Florida isn’t a great 3 point shooting team. So I do like that. But Florida under the panty sniffer isn’t a joke, he seems well above the abilities of Mark to this point, just being honest. He’s a take no prisoners type guy, I really wish Mark would get off the Ted Talk coaching because guys like this and Oats are the types you need some toughness and meanness. Just my opinion.

Hopefully we just cause some problems for them by a mismatch and don’t get down early. I’m ready to see Chandler go off this would be a great time for it.

Please stop with the silly excuses and comparisons Pope is over his head and this disaster recruiting will sink us to the bottom. Face it he got lucky last year that's not gonna happen again he was this before he got here what your witnessing is who he really is .

You glossed over the below avg win percentage, losses to P1 schools, home losses, ZERO recruits, and fanbase apathy.
Pope ain't it man. He could be given 100 yrs and 100 mil and it wouldn't matter.

Sounds like the makings of one of those old Masetercard commercials.


Total NIL roster: $22 million.
Combined head coaching salaries: $10 million.
Total roster/team investment after injuries: still over $20 million (coaches and players).

Losing on the road at 14-12 Auburn by one point in a game that should have been decided by 10 points or more: priceless.
