Makes me sad
I don't post often, but I have to tell you it really makes me sad to see Tiger "fans" lamenting the success of the Tigers in the AAC tourney and suggesting we should hope they lose to assure Coach Pastner's departure.

First of all, the Tigers are a bunch of mostly 18-21 year old kids who wear our school colors and play their hearts out. They sometimes make mistakes. Sometime they lack effort. Sometimes they're human. But they are always Tigers. And we should always support them.

Now, about coach Pastner. He's run an incredibly clean program for 7 years and had a decent amount of success. He's been a positive role model (you want your kid to act just like Cal?) and a good ambassador for the University who has made a positive difference in many people's lives by his acts of kindness and compassion.

Has he struggled developing some players? Arguably so. Have we lost more games than we, as Tiger fans, would like? No question. Has the declining attendance had a negative impact on the program. Very likely.

But regardless, he is our coach right now and what happens after the season has been decided and won't be swayed by a couple of wins or a loss in the tournament. To think otherwise is to be naive.

If you're a Tiger fan cheer for the Tigers until the season is over.

If you cheer against the Tigers, no matter your rationale, you're not a fan. Period.

Most posters are supporting the team. There might be 1 or 2 outliers. Sorry OP, your post IMO is intended to cause unnecessary drama.

Yep. Who is unhappy about winning ? There will be plenty of time to debate the rest after its over. That all being said we've just beaten Tulsa and have Tulane next. Let's see what happens

I don't see that many people unhappy about winning. Why are people acting like it's most, or even many, fans?

Agree. I've seen one poster hoping we lose. What are you talking about?

Some people have this narrative in their head that they're good fans and support the team and there is a whole other side that dislikes the Tigers and aren't really fans.

It's absurd and egocentric. Everyone on this board is a tiger fan. Everyone

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who dislikes Josh as much as me, and I hope we win and keep on winning. I'll never actually cheer for us to lose.

The coach definitely needs to go; but don't ever root against the Tigers.
