And as you point out...it did nothing for the team/game.

if we consistently won, I wouldn't care if they had daily firesides

I don't get fireside whining. I think they sound incredibly dull and I hope

I think some folks think all teams gather the evening before the game and run

Utah has a movie night the evening before the game.

Lavell's teams did. They went to the stadium.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:01pm

Bronco's teams do that. Specifically, walk throughs at stadiums

JamesWestfall

11/28/14 11:18pm

They have a fireside. To me, that is not down time.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:25pm

Firesides are killing the basketball team too.

Shimmy

How often does the bb team do firesides... I didnt even know they did them on

So "fast and testimony meeting" kills competitive spirit 24 hours later

JamesWestfall

How is doing something optional not considered down time?

Metallicat

Sorry but that's not true, a fireside a day before the game is not going...

BengalCougar

I always find this interesting on CB. "Sorry, but it's not true"

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:45pm

I don't think that you did know about the meetings or the walk throughs,

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:50pm

I think it would be cool if this post made sense so I could respond to it.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:52pm

I'll spell it out then. I don't think you were aware of the team meetings and

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:55pm

Let me spell it out for you then. I was aware of them.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:59pm

I may be mistaken, but I think this post at the very least strongly infers that

JamesWestfall

11/28/14 11:58pm

Is it really a secret that I suggested they might be detrimental? Or did I

JamesDean

11/29/14 12:03am

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said that you didn't understand

JamesWestfall

11/29/14 12:17am

What's funny is I already addressed those points above.

JamesDean

11/29/14 12:27am

What about players in the NFL that have sacrament services on game days, or go

The sanest post on fireside so have read.

Y'zFan

11/28/14 11:48pm

I don't hate the firesides. Like I said, I've been to them.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:50pm

Well you kinda seem like you do. Not a new thing either.

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:53pm

I know you like to try to stir the pot. But, no, I don't hate them.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:55pm

If I thought they were as detrimental as you believe I'd certainly hate them.

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:56pm

Well you can certainly do that, if you ever believe they are.

JamesDean

11/29/14 12:01am

If you don't know if they are detrimental or not, why did you say this:

Shimmy

11/29/14 12:04am

Maybe because I was responding to several antagonistic people

JamesDean

11/29/14 12:08am

Well everybody's opinion is fact to them.

Shimmy

11/29/14 12:12am

The team is not good but you will have to help

Y'zFan

I see it differently but the best way to test that is to make

Y'zFan

11/28/14 11:52pm

The firesides are optional, 100% optional.

BengalCougar

11/28/14 11:54pm

Yup. That's why I included that they are not detrimental.

Y'zFan

11/28/14 11:57pm

Exactly. I really don't care either way, either.

JamesDean

11/28/14 11:58pm

I doubt his focus on religion is the problem at all.

Y'zFan

11/29/14 12:11am

It's just my opinion based on observation. There are quite a few things that

Shimmy

kotacoug

11/28/14 11:21pm

No they don't.

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:22pm

So they do everything other teams do on Sunday... Interesting

kotacoug

11/28/14 11:36pm

I know you are trying to make a a point here via sarcasm,

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:39pm

I stand corrected... I guess there must be another reason that we suck

kotacoug

11/28/14 11:43pm

Must be. It ain't firesides or sundays.

Shimmy

11/28/14 11:51pm
