Mark Pope cant say the phrase "incredibly aggressive on offensive" enough. Nothing against Cal but watching us take the air out of the ball anytime we have a +5 point lead in the second half of games is a thing of the past and im just grateful!
Look guys every coach that we went after Harley drew Donovan they all had their lumps before they got big Coach Pope WILL have a few lumps but he was Coached by Rick which is a hall-of-famer
BBN give Pope the benefit of doubt don't try and run him out the door be positive not negative give the coach a chance and stop criticizing we will be okay we will get to the top of that mountain again let's do it the right way so just be patient BBN very important
I found out today Reed Shepherd is in the NBA Draft. Big mistake for his name not for his wallet. He could be legion in Kentucky or just another player in the NBA.
The Calipari era had run its course. We weren't fun to watch anymore! The excitement you're seeing is the release of a pent-up frustration that MANY fans have been feeling for far too long. Onward and upward! Go Cats!!
Just be happy for a couple weeks dude, jeez. You can’t just be happy with everyone for a little while? It’s our first new coach in 15 years, yes that’s a big deal
Leaves BYU like a thief in the night without so much as a goodbye or a thank you. Wish him luck, but a lot of people lost a lot of respect for you, coach.
Ask him why he didn’t bother saying thank you to his BYU fan base on the way out the door. Is that the right example? Will recruits or transfers be treated that way too? Red flag
My god calling every little thing a red flag is a monster red flag. He said he loved every place he coached. Also expecting someone to thank you because they moved onto a job is entitled delusional nonsense of the highest order.
As a BYU fan I can attest that he’s not really said any sort of thanks to the fans. Even in the interview he used “we” but didn’t refer to “BYU” at all. I’m not really hurt or offended but do find it a little disappointing. That said, he brought a lot of energy and some great moments to BYU fans. I was really hoping BYU would be able to win a tournament game with him at the helm but oh well. I was completely shocked when he was hired and hope the best for him and Big Blue. It would be great to see him succeed in his dream job. And I can’t blame him for taking this job. I do feel a little bad for UK basketball fans where it took more time than it should have to get a basketball coach. I’d hope that when there’s a need to hire a UK coach, the first choice is the best choice and the one that accepts. It’s definitely an elite job; no question. Again, I wish the best for Pope and UK.
@@Waterboyofsuperman sorry he didn’t say anything to you BYU fans. That’s not very becoming. It’s cool having a former player back home but as a head coach it’s odd considering he’s not accomplished very much as a coach.
Such a great UK basketball moment. Feels good to get the positive energy back.
Go Big Blue!!! 🏀
I'm soooo excited 🙌💙🙌
Happy to see a new Era in Ky basketball
Coach Pope is a good human being! Really hope this works out!
It will. He's a champion.
It will if the fans support him and be patient
"Wish you Well" from BYU Cougar.
You'll never know how happy we are to see a new coach , all we want you to do is win , every game and a national title , no pressure though .
Go get it coach pope I’m 100% behind you
" This is Kentucky"s team " he knows what it is we love basketball here! lets go pope!
This guy is a mad man as a coach a flat out monster can’t wait to see him win it all.
lol he fell on his face w byu ,
Good Lord, I'm excited for this
Welcome home, love ya already Pope!
Mark Pope cant say the phrase "incredibly aggressive on offensive" enough. Nothing against Cal but watching us take the air out of the ball anytime we have a +5 point lead in the second half of games is a thing of the past and im just grateful!
We'll see how it all goes......I hope for the best.
Look guys every coach that we went after Harley drew Donovan they all had their lumps before they got big Coach Pope WILL have a few lumps but he was Coached by Rick which is a hall-of-famer
That’s what I’ve been telling people. I think he will do a great job!
Nah, aint no, he will have a few lumps. Give him that same energy everyone gave Calipari.
BBN give Pope the benefit of doubt don't try and run him out the door be positive not negative give the coach a chance and stop criticizing we will be okay we will get to the top of that mountain again let's do it the right way so just be patient BBN very important
From zero to hero … How?
he'll bring some fun back to BBN
I love Pope already. It may not be instant success but I think it’ll come in time. He just has too much passion not to succeed.
Well, we gonna see. Im not listening to all the talk. Means nothing. Get the players and get on the court. Gotta prove it.
Same here , I’ll support UK but wanna see results portal/season w’s
Well you gotta wait like 6 and a half months so you’re gonna hear a little bit of a talk lol
I wish we could get rid of the two birds going to town on each other logo.
💯 it’s terrible I don’t have it on any of my UK clothes

Invoking Taylor Swift's name...what a dork. You would never hear any of the true great coaches ever talk about being smitten by a celebrity. Dorky...
I support our new coach but why all this fanfare like we just won the NCAA and we don't even have a team.
Cause we at least finally have someone showing love for the program 💀. Cal checked out years ago.
The Calipari era had run its course. We weren't fun to watch anymore! The excitement you're seeing is the release of a pent-up frustration that MANY fans have been feeling for far too long. Onward and upward! Go Cats!!
Something to be excited for instead of the same thing

Kentucky is actually in trouble guys,I love Mark Pope but as a head coach of Kentucky not sold yet
@@rahab23 Kentucky will be lucky to win 15 games next season
Where can I bet that over/under?
@@joer1678 I have no clue but time will tell
@@joer1678 plus Vegas will be giving odds out
its easy to be a pesimistic fence sitter...
It’s Pope the Dope!
You think he's dumb?
You might be on to something... most Rhodes Scholarship candidates are pretty dumb
Plenty of room on the Arkansas bandwagon feel free to leave
Good riddance. He's the new Scott Frost.
Feel free to go watch Arkansas
He said something nice cause he wants you to play him dont let him use you as a chess piece to embarrass uk

How do you know he didn't thank his BYU fans?
This is the dumbest comment I have ever read. What does he owe BYU? Absolutely nothing. UK is the best job in the country.
As a BYU fan I can attest that he’s not really said any sort of thanks to the fans.
Even in the interview he used “we” but didn’t refer to “BYU” at all.
I’m not really hurt or offended but do find it a little disappointing.
