Talked with a former player yesterday about Pope

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

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

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

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

How many BYU coaches won NCAA titles as players?

My first high school coach played with Pat Riley at UK under Adolf Rupp. I can't imagine a much worse coach.
No touching

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Agreed Texas Western won the "Natty" in 1966.

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

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

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

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

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 $$ doesn't translate to wins
CLCougar
Apr 24, 8:30pm
You are changing the topic. BYU is paying top dollar for coach. Destination $$

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

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

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

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

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