Whiner Board vs Cougar Board
I have been a BYU fan for over 40 years and have seen great teams, great wins, and terrible teams and terrible losses. I have watched games past midnight when we lived in the South and the Midwest, and have gone to the local church building to get the broadcast so that we Cougar fans could watch together. Great memories.

I have read Cougarboard regularly for the past couple of years and have been amazed at how much negativity our "fan" base shows towards our team. I lived in Nebraska for nine years, and attended every home Husker game for these years as I sold pop to watch the game. Amazing fans, amazing spirit, and amazing support of the team. That is why they have had 341 consecutive sellouts! I will be there in ten months supporting my Cougars and my Huskers. Their fans may get frustrated with the coaching staff and wins and losses, but they ALWAYS stay faithful to the program. Maybe we could take a lesson from them.

BYU is incredible. WE are the only team in the nation that could even leave their conference and attack independence. Do I wish we were in a conference? Of course! Do I want us to win every game? Unquestionably. Do I want BYU to win against Savannah State by 100-0? Well, I guess we need to dial it down a little and 64-0 is fairly acceptable (just a bit cynical). Do I look through the blue goggles and think BYU has a National Championship possibility? Yep.

Okay, so here's my point. We hide behind our Cougarboard names and spew filth towards BYU and Bronco Mendenhall in every way imaginable. That is trash. Bronco is teaching young men to be men, and to realize that there is much more in life than football, and he is risking his job to do it. Even with his faults he has provided me with great times, and down times, but my life doesn't revolve around football, like his has to. I appreciate all that he is trying to do with this program. This is COUGARBOARD, a place where we support our Cougars.

Congratulations on 7-4, 64-0 today, and another bowl appearance. Good luck against Cal and in the bowl game. Mick Smith - Springville

I'm sick of the "Bronco is teaching young men to be men" sentiment. (ChubbyChaser, Nov 22, 2014 at 9:20pm)
