A lot of people don't want to be happy as a fan. I want to be happy, but losing
still ruins my weekend. I can't imagine wanting to be right more than wanting BYU to win.
I also find it sad how easy some people lose their fire as a fan. I'm a doomsdayer when it comes to conference affiliation, but I still care a lot.

Are you telling me that you don't see any posts second guessing coaching

No, that is not what I am saying.

Criticizing coaches =/= claiming to be able to do better

Yep, politicians, CEOs, movie directors, etc.

You mean like icing the kicker on the pat? Twice?

That was so awful

Yeah, it really took hindsight to realize icing a PAT might not work.

Well of course it probably wouldn't work

Not a single program ever has not lost to teams it shouldn't.

DapperDan

No, "Oh well" is the reaction, not what I expect or hope.

If you're satisfied with poor results, you don't have high expectations

Or for your team to never lose. That's what I'd prefer.
