@JonSand55733913 @DrewByousBBN If a starting QB went down do you think a team should still play for a championship when it happened in September? Now I give grace on that but not the big man.

Drew Byous@DrewByousBBN·
What an absolute performance tonight from Mark Pope on his radio show. Some crazy twists and turns, let’s dive into it from my perspective. 1 - Went toe to toe naming all kinds of statistics about the two years he’s been here, to the last four of the John Calipari era. Wins, SEC Tournament wins, March Madness wins, strength of schedule, etc. If you haven’t seen the show or the video, go to @BigBlueBud to watch it. Now, this is a dumb thing to do, in my opinion. Cal’s last four years were not up to standard, that’s why he is not here anymore, but your two years, even though they’re slightly better, they’re nowhere close to the standard either. So that argument or comparison to me was completely unnecessary, on top of taking shots at Cal, when he’s in the Sweet 16 again and a Hall of Fame coach for over a decade. And although you’re only two years in, Cal’s legacy at Kentucky is 100x better than the legacy you’ve given so far. 2 - The comment of “we shaped our offense around a left handed PG.” Look, I’ve played a lot of high level basketball, I watch basketball religiously, I get the point he was making, but I have also never heard of that before or ever thought it was that important. So that comment, let’s just say, had me dumbfounded in a lot of different ways, good and bad. I’ll just leave it at that. 3 - Finally, for once and for all, completely 100 percent denied the Yaxel Lendenborg quote that “Kentucky offered me 7 to 9 million dollars.” 4 - Continues to say “I’m limited to what I can say recruiting wise. We’re really excited about where we are, just hang in there guys, hang in there.” Is he hinting at something, is he just saying it, not really sure, but that was interesting. 5 - The way he was talking, regardless of all the circumstances, he actually gives me some confidence and hope moving forward. Seems like he understands the issues and the problems surrounding the team and roster construction. Now he tried to cover it up and not throw guys individually under the bus, but reading between the lines, he knows what needs to happen moving forward. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@DennisFreu17193 @DrewByousBBN I agree he changed his style, don't know if that was wise at the end of the day. I think he did that because they were all beat up going into March, talking about year 1. So, he got bigger, and did worse. Now, I give grace to the point guard being out not the big man

@AaronRigsby5 @Spencer_Smith10 @SethDavisHoops I disagree here is why if you take 40% off of Florida 's team, (a big and a guard) do you think you would be within 5 points in the last three minutes of a game against a team that is supposedly a number 1 team. I doubt it

@Spencer_Smith10 @SethDavisHoops As a Kentucky fan, yes “dominate’s” is the correct word. We never lead at a single point. And the score fluctuates from 5-15 several times. Sure they didn’t beat us by 20 but today is the closest game we’ve had. I hate Todd Golden with a passion. But he’s coaching around Pope..

@BRamseyKSR That defensive effort will get you to the 2nd weekend, rebounding and shooting variance should be in play. An even average game from Oweh and we win that one. Plenty of room for optimism

Kentucky isn’t the place for moral victories. I get it. However, THREE TIMES isn’t a fluke. Kentucky is the ONLY team to play Florida within single digits since 1/24…and the ‘Cats have done it THREE TIMES. I’m not sure what it means…but it means something.

Time will tell. What I said on 1/3 rings true today. Kentucky’s wins AND losses tell the story. This isn’t a Top 15 team (which is frustrating) but they are right there with every other team in the country. Wild things happen in March. I’m ready for the NCAA Tournament.
Brandon Ramsey@BRamseyKSR

It feels safe to say at this point that Kentucky is not a Top 15 team. Based on preseason expectations, NIL expenditure, etc. it is fair to be disappointed in that “realization.” However, I still think we see this team settle into the 20-30 range. Time will tell.

Vol Nation please don't have such short memories! We just went to the playoffs last year and a couple FG’s and plays for being still alive for these! We aren't fully healthy and are a couple pieces away! Stay the course!🍊🏈

@FOXSportsKnox Yes he is right, two starters on DQ gone, replacing a heck of a defensive line, the SEC player of the year. Not to mention a new QB and replacing 4 starters on the O line. This has been a great job

Future College Football Commissioner Josh Pate says that Tennessee fans had “unrealistic expectations” for the 2025 Vols: “Here’s the problem… some people who had, I think, unrealistic expectations for this team, are now getting mad at the team for not fulfilling on their unrealistic expectations,” said Pate. “Tennessee is right in line to do what I thought they were gonna do.” “Hot seat and Josh Heupel shouldn’t even be in the same sentence…” Do you agree with Pate? #ForTheFans

@BoCamaro I agree season ticket holder here and thought the same thing. I remember when we played OU at home the first time two different environments. The stop and go does hurt

One thing I have noticed this year is that Neyland is not Neyland like it has been when it comes to sustained energy. Sure, it got loud a few times, but it's "off". Something is missing. I think the 3 minute TV timeouts, the faked injuries, all of the damn constant replays, etc. Have just made it impossible to keep fans engaged enough to keep sustained madness. Against Georgia, I blamed our lack of getting off the field as another issue. Yesterday wasn't that, but the stadium just seemed dead at times. It was still an awesome experience, but something has changed. I dunno why.

@leegoins11 @ZehDuck So '22 and last year are flukes... Year 5, take out you best dbacks, and starting a new QB, lose the SEC player of the year and you are probably going to win 9 to 10 games

@ZehDuck @CooterVol I'd say for about half of us, the rest are delusional fans who are afraid of going back to losing even though we are still doing that now. The only difference in the Pruitt vs iJosh Era is we simply lose later. We always lose, we just lose later now.

@ZehDuck Um no, I was there. Spotted Oklahoma ten points add a miss field goal. Most fans I set with said Oklahoma beat us. Play calls were fine, maybe the 4th and 1 but he catches it and it is a 1st down. Alot of young kids playing on D and they didn't do half bad

BREAKING: The Catholic Church enrages MAGA world by coming out forcefully against the "big, beautiful bill" as twenty bishops sign an interfaith letter stating that its "passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole." There is nothing less Christ-like than cutting healthcare and food stamps or the poor.... "First, it provides tens of billions of dollars to the government to undertake a mass deportation campaign which will separate US families, harm US-citizen and immigrant children, and sow chaos in local communities," the letter reads. "It will spur immigration raids across the nation, harming hard-working immigrant families essential to our economy and causing widespread unrest like we recently witnessed in Los Angeles." The legislation would funnel over $150 billion towards Trump's border policies and immigration crackdowns, with the ICE budget alone ballooning from $3.4 billion to $45 billion until the end of 2029. It amounts to a 365% increase which Professor Donald Moynihan of the University of Michigan has pointed out is more than the combined funding for all 50 federal prisons. In addition to being a gross waste of taxpayer money, this funding will create a self-perpetrating deportation industrial machine just like our private prison system and military complex. Just like pouring money into military contractors incentivizes new wars, pouring money into this fledgling deportation industry will incentivize more crackdowns and family separations. The more you feed the monster, the bigger and hungrier it gets. "This funding also will be used to target faith communities, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed places of worship from its sensitive locations list, allowing ICE agents to enter them for enforcement purposes," the letter continues. "We have already witnessed a reduction in attendance at many of our religious services in our denominations, as the threat of enforcement has deterred many families from practicing their faith." The signatories include numerous prominent bishops such as Cardinal Robert McElroy, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Bishop John Dolan, Archbishop Paul Etienne, Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski, and Bishop Jaime Soto. In addition to the Catholic leaders, the letter was signed by the leaders of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas as well as respected faith leaders of the Episcopalian, Jewish, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Muslim communities. "Moreover, the bill provides funding for a border wall along the US-Mexico border which we believe will drive migrants into the most remote regions of the border and lead to an increase in migrant deaths," the letter goes on. "It also would hurt the local environment along the border and force desperate asylum-seekers seeking safety to increasingly rely on human smugglers." "As you should know, our faith organizations have long favored the creation of legal avenues for migration and a legalization program for immigrants who have lived in the US for years and contributed their hard work to our economy," the signatories wrote. "We believe the adoption of these policies, instead of the implementation of a mass deportation campaign, would not only benefit immigrant workers and their families, but be in the best interest of our nation." "Second, the legislation makes severe cuts in health-care coverage and food assistance to millions of both low-income citizens and legal residents, including asylum-seekers and refugees, driving them deeper into poverty," the letter adds. "According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill transfers wealth from those in the bottom 10 percent of income to those in the top 10 percent of income in our nation, increasing the already large gap between the rich and the poor." The bill will slash nearly $1 trillion in funding from Medicaid, a move that will directly result in the death and suffering of countless Americans. People will go blind, see their life expectancies cut in half, and end up bankrupt and homeless. Nursing homes and hospitals will shut down. It also guts funding for crucial food programs like SNAP by roughly $186 billion by 2034. Americans are literally going to starve to death so that billionaires can afford a few new yachts. "From our various faith perspectives, the moral test of a nation is how it treats those most in need of support. In our view, this legislation will harm the poor and vulnerable in our nation, to the detriment of the common good. Its passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole," it concludes. In a separate statement, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that the bill "takes from the poor to give to the wealthy." "It provides tax breaks for some while undermining the social safety net for others through major cuts to nutrition assistance and Medicaid," he continued. "It fails to protect families and children by promoting an enforcement-only approach to immigration and eroding access to legal protections. It harms God’s creation and future generations through cuts to clean energy incentives and environmental programs." "I underscore what my brother bishops said in their recent letter to find a better way forward and urge Senators to think and act with courage and creativity to protect human dignity for all, to uphold the common good, and to change provisions that undermine these fundamental values," he added. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank these bishops for speaking out!
