I used to eat lunch beside Pope at UK in '95. Dude was who he was. Big goofy dude that was likable and funny.

[@tylerblackburn6151]

This is both clever and hilarious

[@nelldemaree1655]

Best song since "Silk and Steel , King and Kong". Anyone else remember that one?

[@fredrexroat1981]

[@popcornjoe3752]

Mark pope. Ah yes, it's like you wanted a Corvette for you 16th birthday and you got a Ford pinto, then your parents try and convince you that the pinto is so much better than the Corvette....... And you start believing it.

[@jameswillis4069]

He will win more national titles at Kentucky then cal

[@MrKywildman]

Who wants a 2009 overpriced vette in 2024? Haha. I mean he had his run but I’m happy with the trade in.

[@lindawray6685]

You've been paying for a Corvette and you get a Honda Civic instead. That's what Kentucky's been getting.

[@tystarnes]

You might wanna get a warranty on that used Corvette sloppy sooie seconds as they say.

[@jt1765]

Cept somebody done swapped an LS motor in that ford pinto and that old vette we just sold ya makes a knocking noise and keeps throwing misfire codes. We told you about it but you bought it anyway. But it’s ok, you can always just cut the wire to the check engine light and you won’t have to see it flashing while you’re driving. Oh and there’s a disc stuck in the CD player and it keeps playing the same songs over and over again. It gets annoying after a while but if your going fast enough you can’t even hear the stereo no ways cause of that big ol hole in the exhaust! Yep. She’s got some miles on her, but she’ll still get ya there… just won’t always get ya back!

[@jx-gy3od]

Make sure you’re listening to this song when Arkansas wins the SEC and sweeps you guys.

[@tystarnes]

When it last time Arkansas won sec or national title? I know the answer but UK comparisons. Id worry about Cal just getting you out the first round/weekend. UK fans etc AD boosters weren't going to put up with Cal anymore.

[@lindawray6685]

Ha Ha! They have Calipari coaching-that's not going to happen.

[@brandon2107]

You not winning anything with a team full of one & dones.

[@jx-gy3od]

@@tystarnes enjoy your humble pie MR. Ego

[@jx-gy3od]

@@tystarnes we just come off 3 straight sweet 16’s and 2 elite 8’s. That was exciting and I was proud of my coach. We don’t sit around and whine and cry because we don’t always win it all. Coach k at duke was there 42 years. He won 5 nattys. Cal won one in 15 and almost won several others. I’ll enjoy the national championship he helps us win and I’ll be laughing at Kentucky. I can’t wait to play you guys. Your fan base is ungrateful. To me, this is already a new big time rival and I’m gonna enjoy seeing Cal shut all you up.

[@billyadams5070]

The top coaches wanted nothing to do with Kentucky basketball. Go Hogs.

[@rzob.5729]

it's not that they didn't want to, it's they can't handle the pressure. And the BYU coach's name is Mark Pope. He won a chip in UK in 96. He's one of us. Remember him now.

[@lindawray6685]

@@rzob.5729 Love the response!

[@brandon2107]

They got a top coach.

[@KamalasFkboy]

The only ones that wanted anything to do with Arkansas were degenerates & y’all got the biggest degenerate of them all. Thanks for saving us $33 million

[@AuburnMan]

Y’all about to have a rude awakening

[@RogGarrett]

Dont quit your day job. Jeez people

[@BradleyConn-s4c]

Poor guy hates everything, Life is what you make of it pal. Maybe spend less time on the internet.

[@ijetskilc2529]

I thought it was pretty darn awesome myself!

[@rzob.5729]

Other coaches were too pu55y to come coach here in lexington. They can't handle the pressure. The ex-BYU coach's name is Mark Pope. He won us a chip at UK in 96. He's one of us. Remember him now.
