Jonny Linehan speaks the truth: Popcorn Popping should never be played at a BYU sporting event

RSL Nerfherder

7/27/21 3:05pm

Huh?? We played it only when we were too far AHEAD to be caught.

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:06pm

You should tweet him and tell him how he is incredibly mistaken.

RSL

7/27/21 3:07pm

Oh, I will!

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:08pm

Still should never be played regardless of the score

Nuke

7/27/21 3:18pm

Disagree.

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:56pm

That's exactly when you should play popcorn popping.

IndepYndent

7/27/21 3:07pm

I don't recall it ever being played unless the game was well out of reach

yahtzee

7/27/21 3:08pm

That is a millenial thing that never existed in the past

Nat Gas Man

Popcorn popping never existed in the past??? They’ve played it my entire life...

IgnoreThem

7/27/21 9:14pm

They don't play it in the situation he described. They only play it in blow out

Littlerich

7/27/21 3:08pm

Maybe he got the Superman fanfare mixed up with Popcorn.

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:12pm

Still incredibly lame

LaVell came yearly to band prep week and never expressed anything negative. Hmm.

His mother taught “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Ha. You must have never stood behind him on the sidelines.

Jonny is wrong on this one.

I'm totally fine with a "Hokie" doing a "Pokie" (phrasing?) or the Razorbacks doing a "Hog call".

RSL

7/27/21 3:26pm

It's mormon. We're mormon. Don't be so uptight.

…how can you say the player is wrong here? You enjoy it, but you don’t really affect the game

Alpi Gusto

7/27/21 8:58pm

Well, since the scenario mentioned never happens as everyone who attends the game knows, he is, in fact, wrong.

kccougar

7/27/21 9:05pm

Do you think there has ever been a scenario, where BYU has needed a boost late in the game, and the band played Popcorn?

Alpi Gusto

7/27/21 9:37pm

No. Because that's not how it's done.

kccougar

7/27/21 9:47pm

I don’t think most of these people have been to a game where it’s been played.

IgnoreThem

7/27/21 9:54pm

I’ve been to almost every home game since 1987

IgnoreThem

7/27/21 9:52pm

I like it because it's like a dog whistle for who is/was Mormon.

IndepYndent

7/27/21 3:15pm

meh. if it's played when the game is tense that's a problem

He’s so close to the real issue, that marching bands are incredibly lame and should be eradicated.

TCuz

Now I feel like TNT

Not a fan of marching bands. Got it.

You're just on another level of coolness. We can't relate.

There isn’t an eye roll big enough for this post

Can I be real with you guys for a second? No grown man should ever use "bruh" in conversation.

Hi, welcome to 2021. People talk differently here.

RSL

7/27/21 3:49pm

Actually I believe that term is pretty much a regional thing. I watched

AF_Puma

7/27/21 3:50pm

Agree, nor should they use the term “prolly” or “They gone” unless 15 or younger

Love him as a Coug, but he is misremembering. Never played unless a blowout.

BluesBrother

7/27/21 4:20pm

Linehan speaks the truth. No place for this at a football game!

Kilgruman

7/27/21 4:34pm

He is correct. NEVER PLAY IT! It's kind of embarrassing.

He’s not. He’s entitled to his opinion on the team as all you “experts” here

ByuImaginesDragons

7/27/21 9:23pm

I disagree with Linehan on THIS one, but I still love his takes on ALL things..

Pangare

7/28/21 12:41pm

It's only played at the end of a blow out win. I guess you don't like wins.

BYUtka

7/27/21 4:53pm

Only appropriate in the fourth quarter of blowouts

And only played then.

Band needs to play Donny Osmond Soldier of Love or Follow The Prophet primary song in these clutch moments

He's wrong about when it's played. Also, great tradition, boo!

Embrace our weirdness. It's OK.

You marching band haters need to get over your insecurities. They are

eyes4byu

7/27/21 7:05pm

Popcorn Popping is one of those traditions that BYU fans should embrace

My self esteem is just fine thanks. I just think it’s silly to play a kids song

ByuImaginesDragons

7/27/21 9:25pm

I think it’s silly (and extremely insecure) that you think it’s silly

The silliness is part of why it’s perfect for BYU’s squeaky clean, milk drinking

He's not wrong. Save that garbage for primary.
