It is one thing to hate Pastner...another thing to bet against YOUR team.
It isn't Josh's team..it is Memphis' team.
The Tigers team will still be here 100 years after Josh Pastner is dead and buried.

1) I don't hate pastner
2) not sure what a "real fan" is but I have season tix in both sports and put my ass in the seats
3) you have no way of knowing of the team will be here 100 years from now because chances are none of us will be
4) it was easy money - if this were the stock market it would be similar to me buying stock in a company or vertical that I'm familiar with
5) the "easy $" only put a dent in the tiger scholarship fund and donations I make yearly. Plus easy $ isnt tax deductible
6) and I will always hate betting against my team and rarely do it but business is business.

Careful gettng off that high horse, I don't want you to get hurt.

any way you want to rationalize it, a real fan wouldn't bet against their team... they'd be there cheering them on like HELL for them to win. No.Matter.What.
Real fans are part of that small contingent who always love & follow their team whether they win or lose. (See the 4100 for example.)
Good teams AND coaches have bad seasons. It happens.
See Bobby Huggins. Bob Knight. John Calipari. Mike Krzyzewski.
Buying tickets to the games doesn't make you a fan...there are people who do that hoping to see the team lose.
Oh wait--

I don't ever hope the Tigers lose.

I hear paragraph breaks are on the upswing. My advice is to invest in those and pork bellies.

So then you hope to lose your money? Seems a bit strange to me.

I can't bet against a team I root for, especially if I am attending the game. It makes it difficult to enjoy the game.

Goodnight john boy.

Never bet $ you cant stand to lose but always bet smart.

I don't think this one will make sense to you.

What doesn't make sense to me is investing my time, energy and resources into something and then betting against it.
