Get a grip people.

People can boo.

People can cheer.

Morality police need to calm down.

You're prolly right.

sgriff

One should prolly not start a sentence with and.

"You're not. You're just a fan."

It's Ironic... in a few years Lapuaho will be just a fan too.

There are worse things than booing. Apathy.

Blueto

This is a great point. You don't necessarily see it here, but the fanbase seems

Apathy about doing the right thing is what is most concerning. Don't Boo your

Very good point

Bingo

But the players give up Fall weekends, have some respect

cougarnerd

Lapuaho needs to take pointers from kalani.

thebruce

9/18/16 7:58pm

Which players are dissing you?

Carnac el Magnifico

9/18/16 8:08pm

You're absolutely right. And the players deserve the same respect by fans not booing.

Ironhide

9/18/16 8:16pm

If after all that you boo'd a player because his best wasn't good enough that night

kccougar

9/18/16 8:16pm

I don't boo players or coaches.

kotacoug

9/18/16 8:33pm

Good. Then Lui wasn't talking to you.

kccougar

9/18/16 8:44pm

But I understand why fans do it because that's their only voice and they CARE

kotacoug

9/18/16 8:57pm

I also understand why some young men who have very poor coping skills end up

I kind of see it as the "best option" for fans to say

Y05

9/19/16 6:00am

Exactly. There has been plenty of booing in the past at LES and there

Gerald-DeGroot

9/19/16 11:21am

You should really look into later flights

Cougz19

9/18/16 8:34pm

No kidding but those were the ones available

kotacoug

9/18/16 8:44pm

And $175 per ticket? Ouch. Where'd u get them?

Well they were on the 50 yd line, sec 5 row 14 so

I know who ur referring to. He's been a broker for yrs. the Native American

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

9/20/16 2:12am

You deserve best efforts. You can't demand anything more as a fan

MormonThug

9/18/16 8:35pm

Totally agree. If players don't want to hear boos, then perform!

What_The_Hill?

9/18/16 8:37pm

I disagree

Chuck Taylor Coug

9/18/16 8:51pm

Just wow! Hope your performance always matches others expectations.

jaba166

9/19/16 1:10am

And how do you assess effort?

WhiteKnight

9/19/16 4:09am

Sorry, but in the real world effort doesn't replace results! WR not getting of..

What_The_Hill?

9/19/16 8:55am

^^^ Exactly!!! I love our guys, but you either produce or you take a seat

Ulysses14

9/19/16 9:05am

Good thing the coaches have us fans to tell them how to coach!

Machiavelli

9/19/16 9:11am

I doubt they're on CB

Ulysses14

9/19/16 9:14am

I'm referring to the booing during the game

Machiavelli

9/19/16 9:24am

Yeah, that was lame

Ulysses14

9/19/16 9:25am

You are right. When you boo'd they were all wishing they could have pleased you

Squire

9/19/16 1:54pm

Those players would not have the opportunity to play at that level without fans.

GoatyGoatCoug

9/18/16 8:37pm

It's not his fault you overpaid for airfare

boorad

Lol nice one buddy. We decided to go last minute

kotacoug

You are paying to be entertained

You don't see the difference between college and professional players?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Yeah, well you just think of all the work they've put in and then let's talk.

LoyaltotheRoyal

9/18/16 10:33pm

I'm not happy how they played, but im not gonna treat a bunch of kids terribly

LoyaltotheRoyal

9/18/16 10:35pm

Let your kid grow up, and let's see how you feel when they boo your son.

LoyaltotheRoyal

9/18/16 10:36pm

His point is pretty simple: DON'T BOO OUR PLAYERS

Machiavelli

9/18/16 10:49pm

Were the boos directed at the players or at the coaches for not giving our

byukarl

9/19/16 8:23am

That was excessive.

Bryceo19

9/19/16 10:16am

No bud.. it's called realistic expectations and knowledge which you don't have.

byukarl

9/19/16 11:11am

Wait, wait, wait, I see a pattern, when your losing an argument

Bryceo19

9/19/16 5:51pm

What are you comparing booing with!? Good grief people need to chill

Gerald-DeGroot

9/19/16 11:35am

But you never paid the "entitlement to poor sportsmanship" fee...

Oatmeal

Did you boo?

Bluedarts
