Talked with a former player yesterday about Pope

gurt

Apr 24, 3:04pm

It’s a small miracle how that job fell into his lap. Seriously.

It really is a small miracle, Idacoug.

I'm actually hoping that Pope leaving ends up being

BYUJoJo

Apr 24, 3:34pm

Yes a win-win for everyone

Apr 24, 5:08pm

I'd say a BIG miracle. Nobody would ever have believed that Kentucky would hire

BlooCoug

Would be nice to know if he was with Pope at UVU or BYU

Apr 24, 3:15pm

UVU

gurt

Apr 24, 3:17pm

That makes sense

Apr 24, 3:19pm

Can confirm I've heard the same from a former UVU player my family knows

CameronG

Apr 24, 3:54pm

Wasn't it shared on an earlier post that UVU Admin and Staff thought much more highly of Madsen post-departure

CLCougar

Apr 24, 3:20pm

Have heard the same, though through a few degrees of separation

Captain Stubing

I wish I would see less of these bitter posts

mobicurious

Apr 24, 3:17pm

I’m not bitter at all and I didn’t get the impression he was either

gurt

Apr 24, 3:18pm

Terms like Phony and 'use you up' are phrases a jilted lover uses

mobicurious

Apr 24, 3:21pm

Please share more of your experience. Were all curious now.

Henry45-70

How many BYU coaches won NCAA titles as players?

mobicurious

Apr 24, 3:26pm

I was talking about jilted lovers 🤪

Henry45-70

Apr 24, 3:28pm

Who cares?

ochobeeguy

You do enough to respond apparently

My first high school coach played with Pat Riley at UK under Adolf Rupp. I can't imagine a much worse coach.

No touching

Apr 24, 6:40pm

Can verify from personal experience 'phony', 'use you up', used by some jilted.

Ripliancum

Apr 24, 6:19pm

Well I can promise neither him nor I had those type relations with Pope

gurt

Apr 24, 3:25pm

How many people would you walk up to and call them a Phony to their face?

mobicurious

Apr 24, 3:33pm

As if that were any kind of argument that a person isn’t phony?

They are also terms used to describe people who are phony and use people up.

Y'sAsterisk

His post didn't have a bitter tone to me.

CPAcoug87

BYU is no longer a middle of the road type of team anymore. That is clear.

niqmadu

How many NCAA tourney wins has BYU had?

mobicurious

Apr 24, 3:23pm

You might consider a Dale Carnegie course with your dubious attempt at winning friends here and influence to your way of

CLCougar

Apr 24, 3:55pm

I don’t think BYU has ever been ranked #1 in Men’s Basketball. I’m still frustrated with the UAB game in 1987.

Cougar Jazz Fan

Apr 24, 4:15pm

Me too on the UAB game ranked #2 at the time. Cougs won the Natty ranked #1 in 1966

CLCougar

Apr 24, 4:21pm

Winning the 1966 NIT was not winning a natty; 1951 yes, 1966 no.

Soy Celeste

Apr 24, 6:32pm

Agreed Texas Western won the "Natty" in 1966.

Les IsMore

Apr 24, 6:47pm

A movie was made about that team, “Glory Road.” Excellent movie!

Soy Celeste

Apr 24, 9:58pm

You're right, the #1 ranking it refers to is maybe our seed for the NIT tourney..

CLCougar

Apr 24, 8:37pm

I was there

gurt

Apr 24, 4:34pm

Same here. Had been in Huntsville on a job for a few weeks.

Les IsMore

I was 10 😬

Cheering for BYU is fun precisely because the deck is stacked against the Men's

mobicurious

Apr 24, 7:43pm

I appreciate the re-wording of what you had stated above, as in my view it initially came across pretty demeaning of BYU

CLCougar

Apr 24, 8:19pm

Let me put it in blunt terms

mobicurious

Apr 24, 8:24pm

Keep re-spinning, lol... you made some bad choices to make your point. And spending $$ doesn't translate to wins

CLCougar

Apr 24, 8:30pm

You are changing the topic. BYU is paying top dollar for coach. Destination $$

niqmadu

Apr 24, 4:12pm

That has nothing to do with the topic of the post.

Steve Cleveland (right before Dave Rose) left BYU for Fresno State.

I’d like to see more butter posts myself.

Oh yeah? We'll show you . .

Ice King

I agree w/you re bitter posts. I take umbrage re middle of the road

jlhazlewood

Apr 24, 5:37pm

Nice

Y'sAsterisk

Apr 24, 6:19pm

I agree with you, BYU performs extremely well outside of Men's revenue sports

mobicurious

Apr 24, 7:45pm

Define once in a generation overperformance. Most fans would say we've had those fairly regularly over the last 40 years

CLCougar

Apr 24, 8:35pm

This post sounds phony ??

Are you "spillin' tea?"

Smells more like coffee to me.

Pope is a good salesman who also happens to have a good vision

Apr 24, 3:48pm

Pope: compartmentalizer, ambitious, smart, enthusiastic, calculating, hyperbolic

Forzaitalia

Apr 24, 4:12pm

This is really good - kudos

Ice King

Apr 24, 4:46pm

My take on Pope

Apr 24, 4:14pm

Anyone else recall Pope ripping off his suit to show his UK uniform underneath?

Ice King

Apr 24, 4:50pm

That was easy - found it

Ice King

Apr 24, 4:53pm

Whoa. That was embarrassing.

Y'sAsterisk

I don't know. I never got the impression that he wasn't solidly behind being

did this player see significant minutes?

aaronmania

Apr 24, 4:59pm

Yes. I think 3 year player

gurt

Apr 24, 5:00pm

Was this player a starter?????

Huck

Apr 24, 5:12pm

Yes

gurt

Apr 24, 5:54pm

If that's true Pope told this player his ultimate goal was to get to Kentucky

BlooCoug

This whole post is not credible

Croweater

Apr 24, 6:17pm

Feel free to BM me

gurt

Apr 24, 6:33pm

If true I say good for Pope. He improved each team on the way up. UK knows they

Ripliancum

Apr 24, 6:36pm

So Pope is ambitious and had a goal to get his dream job

davidmj10

Apr 24, 6:54pm

It's OK to use BYU to get his dream job, it's just the way he left is classless.

GoodGuyGary1

Apr 24, 8:56pm

I get that he didn’t send a thank you note what else was classless

davidmj10

Apr 24, 10:02pm

What else do you need?

GoodGuyGary1

Apr 24, 10:07pm

I guess we have a different definition of classless.
