Sure--but Toolson isn't a robot.

a priori All-American

I think that the faux outrage and the response by Jones is a bit much.

Toolson shouldn't have walked over there. Agreed.

Is it shocking that he did? No.

Did he say something terrible? No.

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but Toolson is in the wrong. Shut your mouth and don't talk to anyone that doesn't

TheLoneCougar Feels great baby!

Agreed. I hold coaches to an even higher standard so Chris Jones was also wrong

COCoug

Which is valid, but Toolson started it. Stop yacking at the patrons.

Attaboy defend the Ute Coach! You may be on the wrong teams fan site.

This attitude is so lame, and gives all BYU fans a bad name.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 11:12am

Yeah, players AND coaches need to focus on the game. Coaches more so.

What are the odds he instigated? Pretty low. Did he even know who Chris

What did Toolson say that was factually inaccurate?

a priori

12/5/19 7:22am

Probably nothing...but why is he instigating conversation with people sitting in the seats?

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 7:37am

Because he's human and frustrated at a perceived injustice?

a priori

12/5/19 7:45am

It doesn't justify his actions is my point. It happens in every game Toolson has ever played in. Be the bigger man,

TheLoneCougar

Sure--but Toolson isn't a robot.

a priori

12/5/19 8:05am

It should be shocking though...why do we accept players talking to opposing coaches (or fans) during and after

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 8:18am

Do you have factual proof of this statement?

Northern Blue

12/5/19 10:33am

Do I need factual proof? Fans don't yell things at opposing players every game? I figured that was common knowledge.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 11:13am

You stated that has happened in every game Jake has played. How do you

Northern Blue

12/6/19 10:11am

I'm certainly making an assumption here. But I did it in high school and at BYU...I assume other school's fans

TheLoneCougar

12/6/19 12:57pm

Not only for sportsmanship it is also a distraction from playing the game

TomPetty

12/5/19 7:22am

Exactly.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 7:38am

Didn’t he fumble the exchange with Ty’son on the very next play?

This outrage makes me laugh

shakarocks

12/5/19 8:11am

A mountain? By stating that I think Toolson is the one in the wrong?

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 8:20am

Red herring? It merely illustrates that you have no idea what happens on the

shakarocks

12/5/19 8:26am

You can look up the definition.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 8:32am

Not saying it’s right but

gurt

12/5/19 8:31am

Fair enough. I can certainly get heated too but this started during the game from what I gather.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 8:37am

So you blame the 22 year old more than the 40 year old grown man?

cougaman

12/5/19 9:28am

I blame the 22 year old for instigating things, yes. If you can't expect a 22 year old, or a 16 year old for that matter

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 9:43am

I don't believe that he went to the players dad unsolicited. They were probably

cougaman

12/5/19 9:56am

He’s in the wrong but the middle-aged man coming unhinged over it isn’t right

Coug Man in Florida

12/5/19 9:42am

Never argued against that point. But ultimately what the other guy does later in the evening is irrelevant to what

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 9:51am

Later in the evening?

vegas guey

12/5/19 10:55am

Yeah, you're in the wrong here!

Northern Blue

12/5/19 10:28am

Yeah, it was an emotional move, but that doesn't excuse it

Byu_1988

12/5/19 10:34am

Once again, I think it’s funny that only in sports do we refer to +18 year olds

Gerald-DeGroot

12/5/19 10:35am

Wouldn't me using "adult" vs. "kid" just make my point more valid? I'd also then have to deal with additional hordes of

TheLoneCougar

12/5/19 11:17am

So what. Those Utes deserve a little pepper in their face. Screw em!

Hammer15

12/5/19 10:53am

Why? Because they won a game

spit_76

12/5/19 12:20pm

probably don't assume I "live right on and off the field"

Hammer15

12/5/19 3:52pm

you live "wrong" ...

spit_76

12/5/19 8:05pm

Disagree. 80k is a dirtbag and has said stuff before

puntersarepeople

12/5/19 12:20pm

Ok?

spit_76

12/5/19 12:30pm

I don’t disagree . . .

puntersarepeople

12/5/19 12:38pm

I agree...

spit_76

12/5/19 12:34pm

Agree with you. Also if someone points out a fact of my kid being a flopper,

Agreed. It's a bad look no matter what the excuses.
