Yep. If your kid in jr. high school gets a report card and earns six A grades and one F, you...

don’t just gush over the As and ignore the F. You get very concerned about the F. You ask what the crap happened. You tell him he’ll never get into BYU if that happens in high school. You outline a plan so it doesn’t happen again. You tell him you want a weekly accounting of his progress. You don’t just bask in the glow of the six As, even if your kid expects you to.

Thumbs up for the cougartails comment.

My 8 year old patiently waited till halftime for a cougar tail for nothing

Save yourself and your 8 year old and get something else.

So about the cougar tails…

I tried to buy one 5 mins into Q1 and they were sold out.

Fans want to be #1. Every fan base does.

Saw you on TV wearing a white shirt. You were eating. So post checks out.

9/27/21 4:14pm

Yep, my daughter took a date & was sad that cougar tails were gone

pegushin

It's unfortunate they ran out, but the date was trying to lady and tramp it.

They do they on my porch so often I’ve become numb

It doesn't help that a couple of the teams we beat maybe were not as good as we had hoped.

No touching

9/27/21 4:18pm

STOP! Educated fans know this team is not perfect simply because BYU is 4-0.

RH84025

yeah, BYU seriously needs to improve the team health.

Agree on the concessions comment

How long have you been a BYU fan?

braddahmike

9/27/21 4:19pm

Not that long, apparently. Started going to games in 1972.

Michael McQuain

Yep, our coaches and players have pointed out they need to improve.

No worries. Hopefully, my intent came across correctly.

It's less "concerning" when you understand the reasons for it beyond "Tuiaki sucks"

EVERY TEAM has issues; we have 8 halves of football to look at and really only 2

9/27/21 5:06pm

That is a sloppy non-sequitur

I ate half of one. They put way too much maple frosting on those.

We should be more appreciative…

truecougster

9/27/21 4:30pm

Agree. Closing concessions after the 3rd quarter is incomprehensible to me.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/27/21 4:37pm

My problem is that the cougar tails are way too sweet. Can we get LESS frosting?

Amen to that. I scraped a bunch off
