The electorate has spoken! I find it hilarious that people are excited about his
post and feel the need to raise their hand in support. He's saying in far more words than were needed to stop ripping on players and coaches. Yet, there isn't a fan base in America that doesn't rip on their players and coaches that frustrate them. There will always be players that warrant some criticism despite the fact they are doing their best. There will always be coaches that have not been able to prove they have what it takes and those coaches will receive criticism.

I mean people are getting on board with a guy that said he will defend ANYBODY! Nobody can be criticized in BarraCoug's world. He foretells of the time when he, like all the other great posters, will leave CB. Someone is really thinking highly of himself and people somehow are saying, "yeah, I'm gonna follow this guy". But let's look at how many are truly behind him. He is puffing his chest a bit too much over 40 people saying that was a great post. 40? The electorate has spoken!

I'm okay with people criticizing some players and coaches. To say Nick Howell doesn't deserve any second guessing or criticism is insane. He didn't have a "bad season by Bronco standards". He had a historically bad season by NCAA standards. We were among the worst (the very worst) pass defenses in the country. We gave up over 40 points to poor offensive teams on more than one occasion. Nearly every QB we faced had their best statistical game of the season. This wasn't a "pretty bad season".

Criticism will happen. It's part of being a sports fan. People yell at their TV. People vent to their friends. People get upset with the people that are underperforming. If people can't tolerate it, they need to excuse themselves from the world of sports.
