RE: Discussion between Wolken and Calkins on Twitter (Does Josh need to win)
I am so tired of this. I mean, my God, we are going to the Big Dance for the 3rd season in a row, we have won two Conference championships in a row, we went undefeated in our Conference, we won 30 freakin games, and on and on. We blew our chance to beat some quality opponents early in the season, and we had the #1 seed on the ropes and let them slip by when they got hot from beyond the arc. Does our whole self worth come down to just 4 losses this season? Come on. This coach is doing some incredible things and people are missing it because of one or two losses. And what Dan said is right. Some people are never satisfied unless you are undefeated for the entire year and win the national championship every year. Ain't gonna happen, so enjoy the good stuff while we can. It could be a lot worse.

There are a few folks here who don't recognize a diamond when they see it....or they just hate Memphis and want to see us make a huge mistake..
Only in Memphis is 30-4 and steady improvement every season not good enough.
The top 25 and NCAA wins are coming...sooner or later..a blind man could see that...no matter what happens this post season.
I really think some folks here just don't like CJP...and I'm not really sure why. He has done a wonderful job and I am proud he is our coach.
To add to what you're saying:
John Wooden took YEARS to become The Wizard of Westwood.

It's just a very vocal minority of disgruntled "fans" (and I use the term loosely). I'd venture to say that at least 95% of Tiger Nation is pleased as punch with where we are, including having Pastner as our coach. Too bad that other 5% (if that much) is causing all the dissension and making it look like ALL Tigers fans are unhappy.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and those miserable few DO NOT speak for the rest of us.

Geoff wrote "piece of mind" in his tweet? That's depressing.
