Just because they don't have their collective noses up Pastner's @ss doesn't mean they're not good Tiger fans. How bout calling them fans who care about the program more than they do the coach. Look around the FEF on game day, attendance is decreasing with each game. Must be a whole lot of those bad fans out there. And for the UMPTEENTH time, it ain't just about this year.

How about they are fans who constantly and oddly MOCK and DERIDE and NASTILY berate the coach and fanbase. A very different scenario than constructively criticizing.

What do you call someone who labels fans who do not mock, deride, and nastily assail the coach and fanbase people with their noses up the coach's ass? That is a better question...since somehow this ilk has decided that refusing to mock equates to that.

Thanks Mimi, Pastner is the best thing that could have ever happened to the Tigers. When he starts bringing home championships and we dub him "Josh Wooden" I want to be first in line to shake his hand on a job well done.

Weak effort...blocked. Sorry.

Why would he want to infringe on the title of your autobiography? I mean, there are copyright laws.

Haven't seen a Bluto post all day. Starting to get a little worried.

If he turns up floating face down in the Wolf River, we'll know where to begin the investigation...

Pulled the seat assignment leak. Choose to assume it was an honest error from a poster in a hurry. Let's avoid that sort of thing in the future ladies and gents.

I've actually gotten to meet quite a few people on this board on my visits back and Bluto is one of them. Seemed like a very cool dude.

I'm constantly impressed with how classy and nice people are in person who are Tigers fans. I've split a beer with many on this board and I've always had a great time. In a fact that likely surprises no one, some of our banned posters are the best in person actually.

That is not a surprise.

The same people who act like abject ******** behind a screen, act like decent people live. Not really a surprise. Nor that meaningful.

The upside is those who still attend games, add support, root for Memphis, even while trolling with vile comments here.

The downside is there are unfortunately many who not only troll and act vile here but also do so in person, and there are many vile in person douches who have never seen a message board.

I'll never forget.....I emailed Josh to wish him luck on the upcoming season in his first year. I sent the email two hours prior to his first "Memphis Madness." He responded within 30 minutes. I have sent a few other congratulatory wishes over the years, and he has responded every time. I don't believe there is another D1 coach who would do that.

There's probably a reason for that.

lol. good one

Well, not realllllly. But I get it, and that's fine. Maybe there's some truth to it, as a D1 coach should probably worry more about other things, but I give credit where it's due. :)

Douche consistency is key.

Which is hard to maintain unless someone is truly a douche.

That's really insane. I really hope Josh has someone to answer all his fan mail by now. So sad if our Coach is still doing all that himself.

Fair statement.
