students who enjoyed it.

I can see why people think it’s a fun tradition, but I hate it. Seems so childish and not congruent with sports at all.
Mormons look weird enough as it is.

Jonny Linehan speaks the truth: Popcorn Popping should never be played at a BYU sporting event

RSL Nerfherder

7/27/21 3:05pm

Huh?? We played it only when we were too far AHEAD to be caught.

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:06pm

You should tweet him and tell him how he is incredibly mistaken.

RSL

7/27/21 3:07pm

Oh, I will!

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:08pm

Still should never be played regardless of the score

Nuke

7/27/21 3:18pm

Disagree.

BlueNtheFace

7/27/21 3:56pm

That's exactly when you should play popcorn popping.

IndepYndent

7/27/21 3:07pm

I don't recall it ever being played unless the game was well out of reach

yahtzee

That is a millenial thing that never existed in the past

Popcorn popping never existed in the past??? They’ve played it my entire life...

IgnoreThem

They don't play it in the situation he described. They only play it in blow out

Littlerich

Maybe he got the Superman fanfare mixed up with Popcorn.

BlueNtheFace

Still incredibly lame

LaVell came yearly to band prep week and never expressed anything negative. Hmm.

His mother taught “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Jonny is wrong on this one.

I'm totally fine with a "Hokie" doing a "Pokie" (phrasing?) or the Razorbacks doing a "Hog call".

RSL

It's mormon. We're mormon. Don't be so uptight.

…how can you say the player is wrong here? You enjoy it, but you don’t really affect the game

Alpi Gusto

Well, since the scenario mentioned never happens as everyone who attends the game knows, he is, in fact, wrong.

kccougar

7/27/21 9:05pm

Do you think there has ever been a scenario, where BYU has needed a boost late in the game, and the band played Popcorn?

Alpi Gusto

7/27/21 9:37pm

No. Because that's not how it's done.

kccougar

7/27/21 9:47pm

I don’t think most of these people have been to a game where it’s been played.

IgnoreThem

7/27/21 9:54pm

I’ve been to almost every home game since 1987

IgnoreThem

7/27/21 9:52pm

I like it because it's like a dog whistle for who is/was Mormon.

IndepYndent

7/27/21 3:15pm

meh. if it's played when the game is tense that's a problem

He’s so close to the real issue, that marching bands are incredibly lame and should be eradicated.

You're just on another level of coolness. We can't relate.

Can I be real with you guys for a second? No grown man should ever use "bruh" in conversation.

Hi, welcome to 2021. People talk differently here.

Actually I believe that term is pretty much a regional thing. I watched

AF_Puma

Agree, nor should they use the term “prolly” or “They gone” unless 15 or younger

Love him as a Coug, but he is misremembering. Never played unless a blowout.

BluesBrother

Linehan speaks the truth. No place for this at a football game!

Kilgruman

7/27/21 4:34pm

He is correct. NEVER PLAY IT! It's kind of embarrassing.

He’s not. He’s entitled to his opinion on the team as all you “experts” here

I disagree with Linehan on THIS one, but I still love his takes on ALL things..

Pangare

7/28/21 12:41pm

It's only played at the end of a blow out win. I guess you don't like wins.

BYUtka

7/27/21 4:53pm

Only appropriate in the fourth quarter of blowouts

sunjieming

And only played then.

My self esteem is just fine thanks. I just think it’s silly to play a kids song
