I took my deadbeat SIL to his first game

Well, not yet, but I will in 2 weeks. And he's not really a deadbeat. It will be interesting to see him in that environment, though, as he's never been to a game. Just got married last month, so I'm still gauging him...But so far he seems decent.

Everyone secretly loves or hates the guy who makes you turn heads

On a personality stand point there’s a reason he’s a homebody... no social

To each their own, but I tolerate up to a 4. 5s annoy me.

1s and 2s are just as annoying. 3-4 is the sweet spot.

Twos are alright. Prob a little shy.

Dr MoBYU

9/23/18 9:27am

How could 1-2 be annoying?

Holier than thou persona.

So, because a he peros. Doesn't yell, they are holier then thou?

fattycoug

Not all of them. I’m just saying how they could be annoying.

Yelling is fair game. But still expect some looks.

In other words, "I'm still gauging him but I assume he's a deadbeat."

It was gauged then too.

I think if you asked the players what they preferred, every last one of them

westsidecoug

9/23/18 9:24am

Doubt it. I think they’d like cheering, not negative yelling.

ByuImaginesDragons

Sure, yelling and screaming for the team.

westsidecoug

You should definitely be able yell. That definitely is part of it.

JuicyJam

9/23/18 9:26am

But not as loud as humanly possible. Nobody likes that in their ear

ByuImaginesDragons

Every fan should be a 5, then no heads would turn and it would be loud and proud

Cougrrrs Roll

9/23/18 9:34am

I don't have any problem with people cheering like a 5 except for when their intelligence is a 1 or 2

My mom is like that. Nicest, most soft spoken lady you'll meet. Get her around

Are you my son? I already apologized about this. 🤭

Mother, is that you? All these years I've been wondering.

One of the things that bothers me at the games is the guys

Idahofallsblue

9/23/18 10:03am

I think we should allow other fans to enjoy the game within their comfort level

robin

Quiet game watchers are not what team wants. Need to make some noise.

5, no question. I yell loud.

SDcookie

But do you yell at all times? Time outs.Half time.Prayers,Injuries and M’s of S?

You sound like me.

Dr MoBYU

9/23/18 11:00am

I'm all for yelling loud at games unless it is always negativity. Those guys seriously need to relax and find things to

Rhino84

9/23/18 10:46am

Negativity is THE difference. I won’t get annoyed if someone is yelling stuff

ByuImaginesDragons

9/23/18 10:18pm

Are we talking regular fan or super fan?

ekiben

9/23/18 10:48am

I love 5's but not the 5's that have a complaint or critique on every play

ALC

9/23/18 11:04am

Well... if it takes 7 pays for every good play, your team sucks.

bluecougar1985

9/23/18 12:58pm

You totally missed the point

ALC

9/23/18 3:34pm

I'm a yeller. My son's a yeller. My wife hates it

qom

9/23/18 11:23am

It's about frequency and content more than volume, for me. In the cal game

fattycoug

9/23/18 11:24am

Depends on who’s doing the yelling and how much they’ve had to drink.

SouthernCoug

Wish more BYU fans were yellers at the home games

3. Go ahead and cheer but nobody wants to hear your negative

ByuImaginesDragons

9/23/18 10:11pm

Yell as appropriate for the play (make noise, cheer a result, etc.).
