I couldn’t be more on Mark Pope’s side.
The loss to Arkansas was pathetic, absolutely.
The first half at Ole Miss was a low point, absolutely.
Fine, more Mark Pope stock for me.
That said, he’s now seeing the first crazy factor of Big Blue Nation as a head coach.
We’re getting zapruder pop in film breakdowns to see his bloody hand:
That’s blood!
That man doesn’t tell a lie.
And you know what?
I want him to go nuts on this team from time to time.
Well, sometimes you oughta berate your players.
Light a fire under their ass and remind them who they are playing for.
This is who I want leading a team that I live and die with.
This will be the worst team Mark Pope has, I fully understand that.
He’s already succeeding.
First, just get Lamont Butler healthy.
Breaking news here but having a point guard is pretty important in college basketball.
Third, goes with winning but get these guys to play some defense, just a little bit.
That’s all it is.
I love seeing my coach get a little bloody.
That means he care.
He’ll live and die for this program.
It’s year 1 and I ain’t leaving the Mark Pope is a great coach boat.
Everyone else can jump off if you want.
I’ll take my coach, his bloody hand, his bloody shirt and data.
We’re going to be fine.
