Absolutely EMBARRASSED by our Wasatch Front Y fans NOT representing at GameDay
Pitiful, just PITIFUL!

Sad & sorry excuses must abound (seen quite a few in related threads this morning).

We had more pro-BYU signs/flags in Tuscaloosa and Arizona than in Salt Lake City?!?!? I'm proud of the 1-2 that showed up, but I thought that we often tout that Utah is the 2nd most popular team in their own TV market ... sure wouldn't have ANY idea of that fact by watching this morning.

Seriously, what's up?

There were probably 50+ Auburn fans with signs here in Tuscaloosa a few weeks back when Bama played Ole Miss. You show up to support your team ... what are the excuses? I saw a greater presence for Florida, Boise State, and Washington State today than for BYU, and that's just plain wrong. I saw plenty of signs bashing/lampooning BYU ... with essentially no one there to support the Y &/or trash our rivals.

Anyone who thinks that Utah trashing us is "little brother-ish" behavior or using the #RentFree idea is in serious denial. We play these guys next year and are not "above" or "beyond" Utah as a rival.

It would have been great to have a consolidated group of BYU fans raise a ruckus/response to what was being said ... like when Desmond Howard said that Utah needs to get a new hand-sign since "the U" is the sign of Miami, or to boo at some pro-Utah comments, etc ...

I'm sure the BigXII/PAC12 leadership brass was impressed by our big and visible presence on national TV this morning. Probably doesn't matter, I know, but people sure seemed to like the organized effort I put together for BYU presence at GameDay here in Tuscaloosa (contacted nearly a dozen BYU fans to get 3 to show up with me, spent nearly $100 and stayed up until 3:00 AM to get the signs done, etc ... ) http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=14606615 I get that we were energized then as an undefeated ranked team with a big match-up that day ... but I would have been there this morning as well.

I get that there are plenty of Yewtah fans that are nasty and verbally abusive, but grow a spine and support your team.

And bring on the "thumbs down" and "frowny faces" if it makes you feel better about not getting off your duffs and doing something positive for your school this morning. Maybe I'm just a preachy, self-righteous guy; or maybe I'm just a goofball overblown fan that shows up to GameDay to support a team that's not playing at that site in the first place .... but there's NO doubt that I'm shocked and embarrassed by our lame local fanbase's presence this morning.

Flame away!
