Dread Pirate Westley Intervention Needed

You don't understand half as much as you think you do. The #1 factor driving

down attendance at BSU is late start times. Thousands of people that had season tickets for years gave them up because we were constantly getting home well after midnight. That's rough on families with small children.

The good news is that we have a new AD, a new TV deal and some 10:00 am kickoffs this season. It's a great time to be a Bronco.

Wasn’t it Jamaal Williams that said BSUs facilities felt like a high school?

Careful, Boise fans don’t like to be laughed at for their stupid opinions.

Don’t worry. They won’t see it for another couple hours…

Boise fans always have some weird obsession to try and denigrate BYU.

BSU fans and homers in the local media feed these delusions ...

They are the most myopic amd delusional fanbase I’ve ever seen

You sound jealous. Are you afraid we're going to steal your title?

The irony is real. Having obviously been a part of or close to both fan bases

7/23/21 7:20am

Vast majority have never been to a big school facility. They can't fill their own stadium much less travel to others.

Oh I understand the BSU fan base. Why can't they sell out at home? B/c most fans would rather watch on TV & they're

The fan base is still not big enough & rest of country wouldn't look past overall weaknesses.

Soupie

7/22/21 11:54pm

And you were right above. BSU facilities are better than many BYU fans realize & BYU's are better than BSU fans realize.

Soupie

I also understand that there are many BYU fans that would love to tear down LES

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 12:10am

Most BYU fans just want more leg room & a nicer facade by adding a brick wall around it.

I think most fans would like that.

I had no idea it was possible to be that insecure.

Bro, come on. Your stadium is bare bones and a portion of it is temporary.

I like it just the way it is. Those metal bleachers happen to be quite loud,

The word objectively does not mean what you think it means.

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 9:00am

I'm pretty sure you have been to nicer stadiums than Albertsons Stadium....

WJCougar

7/23/21 9:05am

You should try traveling to a few road games. It'll open your eyes.

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 2:15pm

You mean like Notre Dame, Texas, Wisconsin?

WJCougar

7/23/21 4:36pm

Deal - but only if you don't pretend that those stadiums represent the majority.

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 6:23pm

So which stadiums do you think are worse than Boise?

WJCougar

7/23/21 7:06pm

I have a list, but I'm not going to throw it out there to be nitpicked.

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 7:15pm

The UofU stadium was upgraded for the Olympics before 2002.

WJCougar

7/23/21 7:24pm

and...thanks for proving my point.

Dread Pirate Westley

7/23/21 7:43pm

You said the U stadium was crap in 2006? You proved nothing.

I proved that you would nitpick.

Yet we do, and any opinion we have is a sign of insecurity? Perfectly clear

7/23/21 2:22pm

OTOH, your inability to stick to the point speaks well of your BSU education.

bluescholar

7/23/21 3:48pm

But if already P5 facilities, why the need for expansion?

Loafer

7/22/21 11:30pm

Nice strawman. Did you make that yourself?

Dread Pirate Westley

7/22/21 11:36pm

I did not make the argument that they had P5 facilities… Twitter Bro did

You made the leap to P5 facilities don't need to be expanded. That's just silly.
