@bbnculture It’s one thing to criticize. It’s another thing to call for his job so early. It’s unrealistic. And it was happening a lot the other night. As you can see by how many likes my post got. And it’s even happening in the replies.

@JacksonCollier They didn’t watch for any reason except the Kentucky brand and hoping Kentucky would lose. Arkansas wasn’t the draw. Don’t kid yourself.

@jeff_guenthner @DavidChasteen Can y’all at least untag me if you’re gonna do this all day 😂

@RWunbreakable Pope has exceeded expectations for a first year coach and this season isn’t over. This team, when healthy, can beat anyone. They’ve proven that already.

@WooPigTanner @PantherHog99 Why are yall even in my mentions? Go “watch yours”

@stuckeyfan2 @Kybballking @tduty24 You want Drew or Hurley, who currently coaching teams with similar records in weaker conferences? And without the big wins this Kentucky team has? Y’all need to chill.

Arkansas fans replying to my Kentucky tweets then saying WHY YOU TALKING ABOUT ARKANSAS when I respond is comedy #BBN

@DarthHoggy Those wins don’t just go away because of some ugly losses. This team can still beat anyone when healthy.

@pokerazor98 @PantherHog99 It was literally a response to an Arkansas fan mocking Kentucky. Try to stay with us.

Don’t be so jaded by Calipari’s last 5 years that it affects how you view Pope. This season has been a success. And he’s shown he’s not afraid to be uncomfortable and adjust. #BBN

@bbondo14 Most of us had his back until the final 3 years. He did great things here but first round exits w/ top talent & high seeds, missing the tournament, unacceptable. He had a lifetime contract. Left on his own. Part of that was his relationship w/ his boss. It’s not all on the fans.

@paulbrownjunior You need to follow more Kentucky fans if you missed it. It was all over the place last night. Especially in the first half.

@PantherHog99 Almost as funny as watching Hogs fans pretend to know basketball at all because they’re 2-6 in conference with a coach past his prime. But yeah, when you have an insanely high standard and expectations, some people will be entitled and unrealistic.

@_Urnotthtguypal @Kybballking @tduty24 I hold that same standard. I’m also realistic enough to know that this isn’t 2009 & you don’t just get prime Calipari & an automatic NBA roster anymore when you hire. UConn is 16-6 and Baylor is 14-7 in weaker conferences. You know, the two guys everybody wanted instead of Pope?

AND his team has been competitive in what is probably the best SEC of all time.

@_Urnotthtguypal @Kybballking @tduty24 I don’t know how anyone looks at this season and calls it mediocre basketball. We’ve had exciting wins and been in the top 15 all season long.

@Kybballking @tduty24 It was all over X in the first half. Tons of overreactions.

@hpwatchdog @jeff_guenthner Effort did get better in the second half. I think fans have been spoiled with so much talent and athleticism for the last 15 years than we’ve all forgotten what a rebuild actually looks like. This is that.

@jeff_guenthner Oh, I forgot he was on the court.
