give some sort of positive response. Same with Packers fans. I give a "Go Pack Go" to someone with a Packers shirt and I get a response 100% of the time.

When I say "Go Cougs" to someone in BYU gear it is about 25% of the time I get a response.

What’s the respondent supposed to say that?

Lieutenant America

"Go cougs" is not an awkward response back.

It’s dorky though
