What I'm seeing right now: Mark Pope is sticking it to our Ath Dept & BOT for being so cheap w NIL over the last few yrs

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

6:31am

What’s happening at byu isn’t unique to byu. Look at the entire landscape.

blackandblue

6:37am

I do hope you're right on that. I do think our kids were all encouraged to jump in the Portal, though

SinkingQuffa

6:39am

And just like Pope, money and me above all else. Nothing else matters

Forbidden Fruit

6:40am

Dude, he worked his butt off for us. Money is NOT his prime motivator in life. Look at his family, man.

SinkingQuffa

Stick to your latest theory, you on to something

Forbidden Fruit

And if I am — I still have to read the situation through the lens of the post you just responded to.

SinkingQuffa

Off topic, Saunders is gone. Lost cause. Pope disciple and he was sold hard

Forbidden Fruit

6:51am

No kidding? I hate to lose Saunders. Dang.

DawgHaus

6:57am

He's a tough, tough loss if true. He's the one that makes me sense a bit of vindictiveness is at play, I'll admit.

SinkingQuffa

7:00am

A winner like Pope? Are you from the future? Pope couldn't even win the WCC.

JAGA97

6:54am

And our all-timer HC before him did better at that? With more tries — & in an easier WCC?

SinkingQuffa

7:04am

Rose never finished 5/6 in consecutive years in the wcc

BYU '80

7:22am

Rose never finished below 3. He had a few 2nd places. Average WCC conf ranking

Forbidden Fruit

Whoop-de-doo. Sounds like coronation material to me. Oh wait — yes, that's already happened.

SinkingQuffa

7:29am

You seem to think pope deserves coronation for much less

BYU '80

7:31am

No. Just some acknowledgment as a dang good HC in his limited time. Who saved our program.

SinkingQuffa

7:33am

If UK plays D for Pope like you, I think they’ll be pretty good next year

Forbidden Fruit

7:38am

Or if they just play D like Pope's teams do. Our best defensive HC since Roger Reid. Hands-down.

Don't be ignorant, man. They have the control board & console entirely before them. And always have.

I don’t hate Pope, I loved him as our coach. My one and only gripe with him now

Sircumference

He's presently trying to retain/poach players. I understand (& appreciate) why he ain't thanking BYU right now.
