So you hate Pope's family?

I generally like your posts, but this is a little over-dramatic

jvr7

I think you undersold the over-the-topness of the post

More than a little overdramatic. Downright melodramatic.

Valuing gratitude and courtesy is over the top?

By all accounts, Pope doesn’t mind burning bridges on his way

Our fans are so needy

This is like the 10th time you have posted this

The reason for that is pretty obvious

I think you have me confused with some very smart poster but I have not

If hes only posted it 10 times he’s missed like 99.9% of opportunities this week

DiamondMo

I guarantee the BYU admin isnt burned up about how Pope left. The fans? Well...

Ron Mexico

Apr 18, 9:57am

It’s not needyness. He purposefully sent a message by not sending a thank you

Good work proving JimmyZ's point for him

I don’t think you understand the word needy then. That being said I’ve actually

Where is that coming from? It's nowhere in his post? Are you making it up?

LifeLongLakerFan

Apr 18, 10:15am

I gave an alternate answer to the query of his opening line. I didn't intend it as an answer to his post.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 18, 10:23am

Yours felt a little less over the top and dramatic though.

Love Pope. Best of luck. Hope we play and kill him in the tournament one day.

Reputation only crumbled to petty people who lack perspective

I don't think it's petty to have a sour taste in your mouth

Disagree. That's a harsh broad brush. "Petty people."

Destroy your family name? Dramatic much?

I was fine with Pope leaving. I care that he is trying to gut our roster.

It sucks. It hurts. It's disappointing. But...

Not sure why we care about this so much. Sure, it would have been nice to have

A really smart coach once said its about relationships

Remigius

Apr 18, 10:00am

It is kinda weird, agreed. Don't tell your employer you're leaving? Or the team?

runnincoug

Apr 18, 10:01am

Pope clearly told the team he was leaving

So, if you want someone to stop something then just don't say anything to them?

Well, ignoring their comments tends to work better than carrying on about it.

Does it?

Meh, I wish Mark no ill will. He's gone I don't care anymore but this season was a lot of fun

I am glad you wish Mark no ill will

This Pope hate or whatever is weird

I don't hate Mark Pope. I wish him success @ UK. I just think he could have

Truth is very few people even care. And, 99% of those who do care live in the CB

99% may be a low estimate.

do you think pope is a different guy now?

Really need to use UK as the acronym for University of Kentucky

I'd say this. No. He's not a different guy now.

At UK he talked so much about showing gratitude…yeah about that

palangi

Ghosting almost anyone is pretty foolish and unseemly. You often don't know who is important until you need them.

I think that's that way handshake lines should be done. Don't hold up everyone for niceties. Do that before &/or later.

Pope is a good person. Handling one situation poorly doesn't change that.

roseyscenario

Apr 18, 10:58am

Agreed he is a pretty good guy but not very sincere and this is how he handles

Go listen to Pope’s own words in his UK intro press conference and return and

palangi

Apr 18, 12:23pm

Maybe UK asked Pope to not mention BYU publicly since their fans were so upset?

Nope. Go Cougs!!!

Get over being offended guys. It is disappointing how easy it is to get offended

I’m not offended but more aware. I would say I still like Pope but he definitely

Sure, but that's his alma mater and it is Kentucky. That being said. Go Cougs!!!

baishel44

and BYU fans aren’t surprised he took the UK job, but ghosting “friends” & fans?

You'd be right to think this in your head. But we are done posting about it.

People love to take things like this personally, Pope didn't do this to you.

Oh the irony of "...my reputation is important to me." in this post.

What difference would it make if he tweeted “Thanks Cougar Nation!”? Who cares

Scott_Tenorman

Apr 18, 1:49pm

Was it lame and classless to not utter a word on their way out the door? Yes. The rest of the reaction is foolishness.

I have no reason to believe he didn't properly thank the BYU admin
