“Still Waiting for us to Learn”: Kentucky Fans Display Frustration With Mark Pope as Defeat to Kansas Sparks Anger

Kentucky fans are already frustrated with their team, and the season has just begun. Head coach Mark Pope took the brunt of criticism from the Big Blue Nation (BBN) after his team failed to impress in an 89-69 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks, and things could unravel if Kentucky doesn’t get back to winning ways. Tyran Stokes nearly joined Kentucky earlier this year before eventually joining Kansas, and he played an integral role in his team’s win. However, it was Mark Pope’s inability to turn things around that irked fans. “Still waiting for us to learn,” one frustrated Kentucky fan wrote as others joined the criticism of Pope. @DylanBallard_UK Just rambling — Blake (@blakeoverbey3) November 11, 2026 @DylanBallard_UK Kansas kicked us with 2 Freshmen!! — Herbert Blanton (@StockBlanton) November 11, 2026 @DylanBallard_UK LOTS of “learning experiences” these last 7 years or so.

Sisters Atrooba and Tahima Hashim opened the restaurant together at 947 New Hampshire Street, a spot that sits close enough to KU to pull in students between classes.

New Johnson County restaurant, sports bar opens. Burgers, beers, more

For 40 years, Brooksider has offered cocktails, beers and watch parties in its namesake neighborhood. The walls of 6330 Brookside Plaza have held festivities since 1985. Father-son duo Chuck and Jack Naylor, meanwhile, have owned the bar for about 14 years. But the pair added a new chapter to Brooksider’s book Monday, with the opening of its second location. This one is across state lines, though it bears the same name as its original location. Brooksider’s new space — 5001 Town Center Drive in Leawood — offers multiple levels of indoor and outdoor dining. Altogether, it seats 688 patrons. Customers can experience a more intimate setting by choosing to sit in the cocktail lounge-style section. That area aims to give a “date night” vibe, said general manager Ryan Proffitt, though it’ll still have some TVs to broadcast Chiefs games. (The menu will be consistent throughout the restaurant, too.) An outdoor patio has its own bar, fire pits, heaters and televisions so customers can sit outside as long as possible. Another interior bar neighbors two dart boards and a long, narrow sun room. An upstairs event space plans to open soon, though Proffitt said it’s not quite ready. “We’re shooting for

Johnson County GOP elects new leaders following major midterm election losses

Johnson County Republicans elected new officers this week as the party begins to forge a path forward in the aftermath of the disastrous 2026 midterms. The leaders were chosen during the Johnson County Republican Central Committee’s biennial reorganization meeting Tuesday night in Olathe. Their election came a week after the county’s voters flipped 11 of the 20 Kansas House seats that are expected to switch from Republican to Democratic control once vote totals are finalized. That means nearly a dozen new Democratic lawmakers from Johnson County will be heading to Topeka in January. Democrats are now expected to hold 25 of the county’s 27 seats in the Kansas House. Several of those races came down to the wire and may not be fully decided until all mail ballots are counted this week. “I definitely was surprised,” said Jerry Charlton, of Overland Park, the newly elected Johnson County GOP chair. He added, however, that “historically, you see these types of swings.” “There’s been worse, you know, in the Democratic Party and others as well. But it’s cyclic.” The county party elects its leadership every two years. But this year’s election, following a series of high-profile losses in Johnson County, could allow
