Derwin Gray just now: "For the fans that are listening, what I would say is...

Help the team be great. Don't wait for the team to be great - applaud the team like they're great NOW... We fed off of the crowd's energy, and it broke my heart to watch several games at LES [recently] and there were whole entire empty sections... See yourself as the 12th man... Bring some ENERGY to the game."

I agree, but... The players at times simply were not trying. This group of guys

Both endzones have had some pretty big gaps.

Totally agree. (BTW, was Derwin Gray a FS or CB? Cougar stats just says "DB".

The crowd can only do this so long. Overall BYU's crowd is excited, cheering and

This is a very valid point. Personally I am not close to giving up yet.

Yep - I went to the Cal and NIU games last year. One offensive touchdown

I was also at those two games last year and they were rough.

Very much an outlier relative to college football attendance

This article is hardly accurate. Fewer than 70,000 fans?

I guess this article would be inaccurate as well?

I owned up with my comment below.

Was that on BYUSN? That was a good interview. I like him more every time I hear

Can't disagree. ROC needs to get loud... and the older folks need to pitch in.

When ROC is there they're great. Lose one game or a lesser opponent and poof!

It's more of a "Who cares" if we've already lost to UMass

UMass was last home game of the season...so invalid excuse

He is right, essentially. But the lack of excitement has just worn me out.

For sure. But do the two choices have to be mutually exclusive?

Exactly. If everyone just "lifts where they stand" instead of waiting for

Great points - you have convinced me that both need to happen simultaneously.
