Whether those people are chaperons at dances or fans at bball game.

Your post reminds me of one of my favorite punk songs:

Lol. Steve Cleveland didn't like Dastrup's row the boat celebration.

Yep...my only disagreement with him the whole night

SwisshQiumi

I kind of agree with him. Once in a while, it's funny, but I don't want the BYU

But Payton is just being himself. Maybe next year he'll be on the floor instead.

At a certain point it turns into caricature. I also wonder if Coach Rose isn't

Anything can be carried too far. Letting guys be themselves is more compatible with Rose's inclinations than Cleveland's

It would be easy for Dastrup to just sit on the bench and whine about

Or someone over the age of 23.

Meh. I don't have a problem with players celebrating.

eddog

I totally agree with him... and so should everyone on here

Dastrup is fun,

AZJIM

Yup, his celebrations are clearly what has kept us from being elite

spinner

There's a reason why you don't see Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc doing these things

Thug Mormons

1/20/17 9:08am

It's such a silly thing to focus on

spinner

1/20/17 9:31am

Comparing Divion I college basketball to a Stake dance is kind of a stretch.

spinner

The point though, spinner, is this stuff actually does matter. When silly antics

Ktar

1/20/17 12:18pm

Are you really blaming our losses on Dastrup's dopey dances?

spinner

1/20/17 12:25pm

If we were undefeated, nobody would be complaining. It's good fun, nothing more

Colorado

1/20/17 1:41pm

Uhh, yeah, of course no one would be complaining. I'm struggling to see how this

Ktar

1/21/17 8:53am

Again, in my opinion, his behavior isn't "totally harmless." Obviously we disagr

people always like it when they are told how to think

If I was a coach, Dastrup would be running until he puked for that shenanigan

reddead

1/20/17 12:23am

Oh brother. The kid is enthusiastically supporting his teammates

Colorado

1/20/17 6:43am

Enthusiasm yes. Might be starting to cross over into distraction, or will soon

BYUfan92

1/20/17 7:33am

Dastrup's celebrations are one of the reasons my wife watches BYU ball

gingi

1/20/17 12:48pm

it was an attempt to get views on social media and to draw attention to self.

GeauxCougs

If you want to blame someone, blame Boney

Colorado

1/20/17 7:07pm

???

reddead

1/20/17 7:41pm

He's a kid who got asked by Boney to do something fun

Colorado

1/20/17 8:47pm

I don't want to blame anyone. It was wrong of me to judge

GeauxCougs

1/20/17 8:30pm

There are plenty of less conspicuous ways to support a teammate

reddead

1/20/17 7:40pm

Generally I'd agree, but I'm okay with a one-off from Dastrup.

It was funny when that team back east did it but dead now

dizthewiz

1/20/17 12:44am

Exactly

Thug Mormons

1/20/17 9:32am

It's dumb. If we saw a player on another team do it, we would say it is silly.

Alsippi89

1/20/17 7:48am

Who's this "We" you're referring to grandpa?

Graig Swame

1/20/17 8:11am

'We' meaning Cougar fans. Someone does this on another team and we'd roast them.

Alsippi89

1/20/17 4:01pm

he is right. It's a totally unfocused attitude that shows a me first mentality.

GeauxCougs

1/20/17 9:15am

Gosh some of you guys are extremely sensitive.

southernfriedcougar

1/20/17 9:28am

Genuine question... have you ever been a part of a team?

Thug Mormons

1/20/17 9:37am

oh geez. Holy over exaggerating. I have. I really question if you have.

southernfriedcougar

1/20/17 9:38am

I tend to be very level headed and under react to most things. which is why

GeauxCougs

1/20/17 10:00am

Disagreeing with the act is far from

southernfriedcougar

1/20/17 10:10am

you are probably right about Dastrup. I'm out of line by saying it is a selfish

GeauxCougs

1/20/17 10:16am

Drama queen for agreeing with Cleveland that it's a distraction? Interesting.

Thug Mormons

1/20/17 10:48am

Agreed. If you ever want to be a contributor, you can't have an end-of-the-bench

jwalk

1/20/17 10:06am

Yep. Too premeditated. Genuine celebration is fine, but showboating, not so much

SouthernCoug

1/20/17 11:31am

I agree. Let the players play...
