sections might be fun . . . . but that kind of superfan status can't be astroturfed . . .

Please, no yell leaders in the stands shaming fans to stand and yell...

I'm all for fans being loud and proud, but the last thing I want when I'm at the game

*Some 21-year-old dude cheerleader telling me how to cheer

Don't want to hear how to cheer (or not cheer) from a 75-year old man either.

kccougar

I'd pay to have a 75 year old run up and down the stairs getting everyone hyped

here's to hoping

I think she was talking about the ROC. Only students need to stand.

Mrs Featerbottom

She was referring to filling in the top 20 rows of the ROC 🙂

Our fanbase is woefully ignorant on when to yell. In road games, they yell

yelling at people to not yell. A real problem solver right here. 🙂

No, they aren't. They are slightly above average in that regard.

kccougar

9/19/19 3:41pm

your evidence that we don't know when to cheer is from game at least 5 years ago

here's to hoping

9/19/19 5:39pm

Yeah I'm sure our fans were so loud at an away game that the team couldn't hear.

I get your overall feeling, but it's definitely possible to still study the game

Agreed with everything you said.

who remembers the student during Jimmer years that was all super fanish and

This guy?

yep. that's the one.

Mayor of Cougartown

9/19/19 3:48pm

I wonder how many times he's been referenced on CB. Also, I bet he's on CB.

Great38

9/19/19 4:08pm

We called him "Put 'em up!" because he always yelled that when BYU was shooting

westsidecoug

9/19/19 4:02pm

yeah he was pretty much the worst.You could hear him on the byutv broadcast

Mayor of Cougartown

If you give BYU fans something to cheer about and for they are a far better fan base than utah

I agree 100%. Utah has a bunch of these at their games

Re-watch the 1991 BYU/SDSU game...

I had a guy in my section try on Saturday. No one followed.

It's got to come naturally. Not some artificial rah-rah stuff.

Love Lisa's idea

Coug Dude

I generally like the energy that she brings, but it is getting a bit old with her always coming up with ways to "fix"

A-MEN! My thoughts exactly!

The Y's Insider

9/19/19 7:16pm

Hang on. Your post is contradictory. You want to experience the game your way

How old are you? I’m gonna guess 60+

Cosmo4life

9/19/19 6:47pm

Wrong. How old are you...16?

The Y's Insider

You know sometimes its okay to stand on 3rd down. Buy yourself a Gatorade and

Bad take. Half of BYU fans that attend are ignorant

CObluezone

Attend last week's USC game? We don't need cheer section leaders, we just need to win

It’s college football yo... not church...

The Y's Insider

9/19/19 7:23pm

Comparing this idea to the wave is just dumb. Stop being an old... go have fun

I hate those 3rd down stop sighs! That's a ute thing! Hate it!!!!

Were not Texas A&M but schools do it. And they can do it well.

kscores2

9/19/19 7:35pm

Huge part of A&M, and it is quite impressive. I used to go to yell practice when I was a younger.

indocoug

9/19/19 10:57pm

It is too hard to yell the whole game. I think most fans know when to make noise

Benfica1

9/19/19 8:02pm

Reading this thread is exactly why we probably need something like this..

SLIVER

9/19/19 8:20pm

100% okay with this, if limited to student section.

All-American

9/19/19 9:10pm

Ya man. The ROC is the quietest section in the stadium.
