I bet Kalani would agree with you!

My story is very similar, but I just looked at the overall message

And one shouldn't use the non word "prolly"

LDTemplar

9/18/16 8:35pm

You're prolly right.

sgriff

9/18/16 8:38pm

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.

ARCoug

There are worse things than booing. Apathy.

Blueto

9/18/16 7:56pm

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

kotacoug

Bingo

BYUSwoop

9/18/16 9:52pm

But the players give up Fall weekends, have some respect

cougarnerd

9/18/16 7:57pm

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

jaba166

9/19/16 1:03am

People are freaking out wayyyyy to much over fans booing poor performance.

Gerald-DeGroot

9/19/16 4:51am

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?

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

9/18/16 10:20pm

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

kotacoug

9/18/16 11:36pm

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

9/18/16 8:51pm

Lol nice one buddy. We decided to go last minute

kotacoug

9/18/16 8:55pm

You are paying to be entertained

Rise as Utes

9/18/16 9:40pm

Here is to hoping he doesn't play pro ball if he doesn't like booing.

Blue for Life

9/18/16 9:56pm

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

Cougar Jazz Fan

My only issue with what he said. Some fans are very investec

Tuskaloosa Cougar

9/18/16 10:20pm

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

Ulysses14

9/19/16 4:38am

You spent a LOT of money!

l8kr4life_

9/18/16 10:57pm

My experience exactly (but came from WA)

NorthwestCoug

9/18/16 10:57pm

Hats off for the effort and fandom. BYU needs more fans like yourself

Chicago Cougar fan

Bryceo19

9/19/16 6:38am

hmm.. interesting pattern here.

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

9/19/16 8:30am

Did you boo?

Bluedarts

9/19/16 9:34am

it's mutual for sure...

icecougar

9/19/16 12:10pm

My wife and I drive 11 hrs to a game to be part of the team

gingi

9/19/16 1:02pm

Players sometimes forget that it is because "fans" spend money and donate
