Why do we need to say this stuff on CB? A recent former player just

told me yesterday that he and other players would go to CB and search their name to see what fans were saying about them. He said he'd use it as motivation, which is fine if you're critiquing his play, but no need to make it personal and overly harsh.

Just keep in mind that Hifo and other players have a decent chance of seeing your post about them.

It's totally and completely unique to CB/BYU.

We're not unique in that. Not excusing it, but we're pretty tame in comparison - mainly because curse words and

the byu fanbase is definitely nicer in all ways to coaches and players.

Texas A&M is just one example. The racist letter sent to Sumlin's home is a more recent example, but I remember after

Attention BYU football players! Here's your motivation.

Nah, its random internet commenters. That other stuff is for chumps.

CB shouldn't name players but players also shouldn't search CB...

9/12/17 8:48am

Also know that player's parents also search CB for what the public is saying

after a bad game or a loss they should know to avoid cb.

I don't know why any player would want to come here unless they just won the game for us. CB is so reactionary and
