They are just 18-24 yr old kids. Fans need to remember what they were like when

I talked to Cory Cook about criticizing Ben Cook.

Cory doesn't happen to be in his late 50's and live in California does he?

I think there's a way to criticize without being a tool

Wish CB would follow the same approach to criticizing other CBers. Sad!

Agreed. Holds true for criticism as a general rule

It is usually the other way around. I assume they are all great until I personally get to know them/interact with them.

I had a good opinion of Brian Santiago until I met him

I ended up in the same classes, wards, teams, and even rooming with some BYU athletes.

indocoug

It's almost like athletes are, like, real people and stuff.

OneUpper

3/27/17 10:41am

Never said they weren't. Just underscoring that I wait to form any negative opinions about them until after I know them.

This happened to me with Jason Chaffetz

Remember when Romney had his boys out meeting people at the Las Vegas bowl.

Robert Baratheon

Yes, when he was dating our daughter. The day came when I had to meet him in

I'm not a big fan of publicly criticizing college kids for their on-field

I criticized Todd Christensen once

that guy shouldn't have jumped up on the bench and stared down the crowd

He transferred away in the early 2000's.

It happened a few times for me. A story.

Were you critical of them because of poor play or because of something they did

Gerald-DeGroot

3/27/17 11:06am

I was surprised by the arrogance some have.

TheWookie

Just to clarify: I'm not saying BYU athletes are intrinsically good people
