Also, don't assume you could do better (than a player or coach)

StantonMac

Lol, please show me one link on here where somebody says they can coach better

hold on, let me find CarolinaCoug's last football post real quick...

Find me a poster claiming this who can spell the word "the."

Really?

workindev

Yes, really. Find me one (other than Carolina).

messi

5/23/15 3:28pm

Are you telling me that you don't see any posts second guessing coaching

workindev

5/23/15 3:36pm

No, that is not what I am saying.

messi

5/23/15 3:42pm

Criticizing coaches =/= claiming to be able to do better

Harrison0Yfan

Yep, politicians, CEOs, movie directors, etc.

There are posts on here on a regular basis of people

Haha, only you would interpret that as Leftofnormal saying he can coach better

messi

Geez. Lighten up.

PolarisPrime

5/23/15 7:33pm

That's actually what depresses me most. If someone as inexperienced as I am

I guess I can assume your children follow your every instruction perfectly

Odd and not extremely germaine corrolary, but I mean hrdrvr. They do pretty well

The problem is that you don't have all the facts. What you may think is a

You mean like icing the kicker on the pat? Twice?

messi

5/23/15 3:30pm

That was so awful

Sure it was. If you're gonna try to demonstrate that Bronco's decision making is

And that's fair. Regardless, then, of what I know, the fact remains, mediocrity

LeftOfNormal

5/23/15 3:48pm

you only see the tip of the iceberg though

Utesplease

5/23/15 4:16pm

Yeah, it really took hindsight to realize icing a PAT might not work.

flyusaf

5/23/15 6:26pm

Well of course it probably wouldn't work

PolarisPrime

5/23/15 7:20pm

I agree. Turn into a UNLV football style fan.

Walter Bellhaven

If only we weren't BYU fans

Cougrrrs Roll

A lot of people don't want to be happy as a fan. I want to be happy, but losing

Shimmy

5/23/15 3:35pm

I would be more happy as a fan and be ok with losses, if BYU were in a P5

CougarWarrior

5/23/15 3:45pm

that's me. It sucks but understandable to lose to top tier programs like Notre

jaredm

5/23/15 4:20pm

Not a single program ever has not lost to teams it shouldn't.

problem is it hasn't been occasionally, it's become far too common

If anything, I'm guilty of too high of expectations

Not making yourself miserable when your team loses does not mean you

Having high expectations doesn't mean you make yourself miserable after your

Isn't that exactly what kccougar posted?

workindev

5/24/15 8:31am

No, he does not have high expectations

DapperDan

5/24/15 8:36am

No, "Oh well" is the reaction, not what I expect or hope.

kccougar

5/24/15 9:49am

If you're satisfied with poor results, you don't have high expectations

losing makes me mad, and I am usually pretty grumpy for a while

PolarisPrime

5/23/15 7:23pm

you mean we can choose to still be happy?

qom

Or for your team to never lose. That's what I'd prefer.
