You can care about the team doing well without booing them.

TPcoug

10/30/18 7:53pm

The only boos I heard on Saturday were when BYU didn’t go for it on 4th down

oohYeah

^^^ spot on ^^^

Regardless.. coaches or players. (It's happened to both) why boo them?

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:03pm

Because they don't try to win?

crazY

10/30/18 8:04pm

When did someone try not to win in that game or any?

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:06pm

The decision to punt over going for it on fourth down. The game was over as soon

crazY

10/30/18 8:07pm

There was 3 minutes left with 2 time outs. That's not giving up.

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:10pm

And many, many other coaches would have lost the game on that decision.

crazY

10/30/18 8:18pm

Or.... The coaches said we have tremendous faith in our defense.

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:20pm

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

crazY

10/30/18 8:23pm

Which is as ignorant as not going for it on 4th down.

I didn’t hear a single person yelling for a QB change this game. I think every

10/30/18 8:07pm

Perfect example. People booed Tanner Mangum.

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:08pm

For the record, I never booed Tanner. I’m not a fan of booing players.

blackandblue

10/30/18 8:11pm

The fans are desperate to cheer the team and the boos have been few and far

Add in the program has basically lost a whole generation of fans... players

Maybe not boos as much, but the groans are very audible

My boss puts me down when I don't perform. Is that his fault or mine?

Cosmo Kramer

10/30/18 8:04pm

He verbally abuses you? Nice! Sounds like a quality job

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:07pm

I would guess that his boss is pushing him to do better.

crazY

10/30/18 8:10pm

You guys are blatantly ignoring the point

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:11pm

Incorrect. You're ignoring the point.

crazY

10/30/18 8:14pm

I didn't say that. My boss gives me a regular performance review.

Cosmo Kramer

10/30/18 8:20pm

You aren’t the boss of the coaches or the players.

I don’t know what game you were at on Saturday. The entire stadium was begging

blackandblue

10/30/18 8:05pm

Haha intuitive. Boo cause you wanna go crazy.

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:07pm

That whole sequence made zero sense. Zero.

10/30/18 8:09pm

Lol you act like it's a chore to go watch a football game and that byu owes u

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:14pm

Not at all. It's not a chore. I still had fun at the game with my kids. But when

blackandblue

10/30/18 8:19pm

So.. Going for it is the only right answer?

TPcoug

10/30/18 8:23pm

It's pretty clear that the coaches had the wrong answer.

crazY

10/30/18 8:26pm

It only about a 25 yard punt by Almond anyways. If we don't convert, we aren't

I don't know man. I'm not saying I have all the answers to football. But this

When it comes down to it, sports is simply live entertainment...a product

Preppy

10/30/18 8:14pm

Is it though? Is that the purpose? Why do schools have track, tennis, golf, etc?

RdF3

10/30/18 8:18pm

I don't think it's the purpose, no. But FB as it is, doesn't exist without money

Preppy

10/30/18 8:24pm

Schools provide these opportunities to give students opportunities to explore

Cosmo Kramer

10/30/18 8:25pm

I detest booing our own players or coaches, but there really weren't that many--at least not enough to fuss about

ColoSpgs

The groans are very audible

RdF3

10/30/18 8:19pm

Groans aren't boos.

BlueBlood

10/30/18 8:32pm

What groans?

BYUtka

10/30/18 8:47pm

I hear them. Obviously the players hear them too.

RdF3

10/30/18 8:54pm

What groans are you talking about? I honestly have no idea what you are talking

BYUtka

10/30/18 8:59pm

You obviously werent at the game

I don't think there is a rampant booing problem at home games.

Hey, everybody can get negative reviews at work.

In fairness Shelton did say that they don’t get very many boos at home
