I enjoy going to the games and watching football. I think it is odd that some people go to a game and complain all game about the guy not wearing the right color to the game.

non donor calling people out for dedication and commitment of fanhood.Can't make

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 9:29am

I see no correlation between the two. You can be a fan and not donate to CB.

Blue Ghost

8/23/17 9:31am

I know, it's just funny... but there is definitely correlation and it's strong.

Mayor of Cougartown

I do donate to BYU Athletics. Cougarclub.

Me too, for decades.

How much Cougarboard subscriber money goes to BYU athletics?

kcca

8/23/17 9:38am

Only the amount Jefe pays for his CC membership and tickets...

Blue Ghost

8/23/17 9:39am

That's true... And I guess you gotta figure that jefe pays tithing on his

kcca

8/23/17 9:43am

Zero tithing dollars go to byu sports. But you probably already knew that

ryebrye

8/23/17 7:39pm

zero but my point is still valid and you know it.there is 1000's of byu fan dono

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 9:42am

Haha I think you don't have a point

travispj772

8/23/17 9:44am

I have no idea what you mean. you should reread my posts.

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 10:16am

I like you Mayor, but with this you're wrong. But I'm a non-donor to CB...

I don't think you have a point without data. How many donors actually contribute

kcca

8/23/17 9:57am

Sorry, posted under wrong comment.

kcca

8/23/17 9:58am

Do you donate to every website you use? If the frequent visits and clicks I

Horacio Caine

Lemme guess.... youll be wearing white to the game? lol

travispj772

8/23/17 9:48am

no I'm fine with wearing blue.

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 10:17am

im a BYU fan, not a CB fan. BYU wouldnt get that subscriber money

coltonbyu

8/23/17 10:48am

You do realize that non-donors make fun of donors for their "elitist" remarks

zerome4sooners

8/23/17 11:04am

No they don't. They don't have any FO to do so.

crazY

8/23/17 11:16am

Some of us have other means of communicaiton beyond CB

zerome4sooners

8/23/17 11:20am

NO SUCH THING EXISTS

crazY

8/23/17 11:31am

i just do it out in the open

coltonbyu

8/23/17 11:58am

dude, it's just 10$. and the perks make it worth it. You really should contribut

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 3:14pm

$10 bucks? it says $14.95 for 3 months for me.

travispj772

8/23/17 3:24pm

Maybe there was once a $10/life thing? I hear that "it's only $10" a lot

ryebrye

8/23/17 7:41pm

yeah it change a little over a year ago

ColonelMustard

8/24/17 2:58pm

But you get the donor perks for life after paying $14.95.

crazY

8/24/17 3:04pm

That's a one time fee FWIW

I really don't understand CBers that try to pressure others into donating.

Machiavelli

8/23/17 4:20pm

I made fun of donors until some random CB'er donated for me.

Wanna do the same for me?

travispj772

8/23/17 11:02pm

I have never paid for an online subscription or service, CB won't be the first

Mayor of Cougartown

8/23/17 3:09pm

Yup! Contribute all you want to CB, but the elitist remarks crack me up.

What does donating money to use a chat forum have to do with being a big fan?

Dissenter

8/23/17 4:46pm

just seems like if you spend a lot of time on here you'd want the benefits.

Mayor of Cougartown

Just be glad the stands no longer resemble a bag of skittles. It took work.

Blue Ghost

Very valid point... Lol

travispj772

8/23/17 9:40am

White would have been better for Aug. 26th.

bluegato

8/23/17 9:39am

I agree.. but I'm still gonna wear navy to support the team

travispj772

8/23/17 9:42am

Utah has 1 red color and one black game a year..

8/23/17 9:45am

out with the casual fans Diehards only.

travispj772

8/23/17 9:47am

lol, I would think that 95% of game-attending fans have one of each

Dissenter

8/23/17 4:42pm

I'm a season ticket holder on CB and on TBS and I don't have all 3. I'm buying them this year

It helps when your schools doesn't change the shade of blue on a regular basis

mudpupper

8/23/17 9:52am

I'm going to wear navy, doesn't mean I have to like it. Navy is

Duke Silver

8/23/17 9:57am

^^this. If i had my way, we would wear Royal every game.

I think he means we will be playing the football team from Portland State

ferris euler

8/23/17 10:04am

your point? Less of an opponent means you can be less of a fan?

travispj772

8/23/17 10:08am

I'm giving myself room to grow, one day I'll reach master level of fandom

ferris euler

hahah man, thats pretty lame.

travispj772

8/23/17 10:09am

the right color thing is a cash grab

v1k0u6

8/23/17 9:59am

This doesnt move the needle for BYU at all in terms of a "cash grab"

travispj772

8/23/17 10:06am

More fans would wear the right color if the BYU stuck with one color

tyrwhite

8/23/17 11:01am

We tried that. For 40 years. It didn't work

Dissenter

8/23/17 4:42pm

tyrwhite

8/23/17 5:33pm

i've never noticed everyone wearing the same color creating a great game day

GeauxCougs

8/23/17 11:22am

penn state whiteouts are pretty intimidating

doubled1981

8/23/17 11:47am

To who? Other fans. I'm pretty sure to the players it's a non factor

GeauxCougs

8/23/17 11:49am

I disagree. To the players you're cheering for it shows solidarity and support

Thug Mormons

8/23/17 11:51am

Not to come down on you Geaux, but to play devil's advocate

I don't get it either.

So many rules to justify calling someone a "real" fan.

I don't want to be told what color to wear. I wear BYU Football.

coastcat

8/23/17 11:14am

right, I went out and bought my entire family BYU gear Some wanted royal, some

GeauxCougs

8/23/17 11:30am

The players are turned on by the roar of the crowd and not by coordinated color

coastcat

8/23/17 4:38pm

I'll adjust for a white-out game, but otherwise I'll wear the blue shirt shade

TailgateU

8/23/17 11:37am

I've never noticed a difference of color of shirt vs how hot I get.

8/23/17 12:23pm

its because youre a non-donor. Non-donors dont have souls or the ability to feel

Boomcannon

8/23/17 1:09pm

Too bad BYU doesn't allow fans to bring their own water. At Texas A&M I've seen

TailgateU

8/23/17 1:42pm

Now that's a good idea. I think I'll try that and see if "ice" is viewed differe

Boomcannon

8/23/17 4:21pm

I've sat in the plastic east stands and had sweat stains on my rear when I stood

coastcat

8/23/17 4:26pm

Only bad fans knowingly refuse to wear the right colors

Machiavelli

8/23/17 1:15pm

good thing bad fans still get to enjoy the game

Navy.. is unwillingness to remember "Tradition" part of Spirit/Honor/Tradition.

8/23/17 2:41pm

Uhhhh No.Navy is more tradition than Royal for BYU. It came first.

ColonelMustard

8/24/17 5:30pm

Utah has one color. We try to coordinate 5 or 6. This is a Bookstore $ promotion

CharlottesvilleCoug

8/23/17 2:44pm

Utah will wear as many colors as BYU this year. Red/White/Blk and Wht/Navy/Royal

Dissenter

8/23/17 4:44pm

Utah has 3 colors. I think they officially made black one of their colors along
