Bobik booing a talking point by instructor in SS today. Man that thing really

I was there. It was brutal. Eddie Sutton was drunk at the game.

PickleButton

I too was there, it wasn't brutal at all.

The booing or drunk coach?

PickleButton

11/21/21 2:52pm

I was there with the Bobiks I grew up in the same stake. Our families vacationed

And she's the nicest most fun person you will ever meet.

travelcoug says she was taunting the BYU fan section prior to the game. True or

NewMexiCoug

11/21/21 5:32pm

Agree. It wasn’t brutal

gurt

Any discussion aboutBobik should include his comments about Cleve on his way out

SJS

11/21/21 2:40pm

Which was?

Soy Celeste

11/21/21 2:43pm

Bobik went on the King and I radio show on KOVO 960

SJS

11/21/21 2:48pm

Thanks for sharing. I had not heard that part of the story.

Soy Celeste

11/21/21 3:00pm

Glad I am not the only one to remember that interview. My recollection is that

NewMexiCoug

I might add that he also shared how much better basketball conference he was in

Countcougula

Bobick's troubles at BYU came before his troubles w Cleve (which were real)

SinkingQuffa

Umm…have you not been on cougarboard long? That describes CB to a tee.

blueaussie

11/21/21 2:56pm

I don't know about blue hairs hating on Bobik

SJS

11/21/21 2:59pm

I was at that game. It was shameful behavior by BYU fans. A low point for us.

BlooCoog

11/21/21 2:43pm

I don’t know the story. What’s the background?

macdizzle

11/21/21 2:44pm

after having transferred to OkState, Bobik and team play BYU in one of those

keithcoug

11/21/21 2:55pm

Whoa, I first read that as Bobbitt. Couldn't even imagine that being talked about in SS..

CLCougar

11/21/21 2:51pm

Challenge accepted, for next SS lesson

keithcoug

11/21/21 2:57pm

He whined about playing time and left to play for his dad’s buddy

cougarblue

11/21/21 2:51pm

This is the correct answer. Booing at a basketball game has turned into so

Scott_Tenorman

I have talked to him and while he may harbor hard feelings, he did what he felt

blueaussie

11/22/21 9:10am

That whole story is ridiculous

Gustav

11/21/21 2:51pm

Yes, he still complains about it if the subject is brought up, and seems to

NewMexiCoug

11/21/21 2:55pm

Funny thing is it wasn't anything to do with BYU really...

icecougar

11/23/21 9:35am

Booing Bobick was pretty dumb, I think.

Eddie

11/21/21 3:21pm

*Bobik

SJS

11/21/21 3:21pm

Obviously, I have spent a lot of time thinking about him.

Eddie

11/21/21 3:31pm

Man if booing someone every time they touch the ball makes you such a bad fan

IceCreamButt

11/21/21 3:22pm

This got way too much attention.

Eddie

11/21/21 3:34pm

Or boo, who cares. Reminds me of the hand wringing over someone potentially

IceCreamButt

11/21/21 3:37pm

Cecil was never a BYU fan, even while there. He sat on a throne of lies feigning to give a hoot.

CLCougar

11/21/21 3:43pm

I've heard the same, not sure how true it is though. Either way I heard from

IceCreamButt

11/21/21 4:34pm

Not sure if I'm willing to go that far--but that header's priceless. Thanx.

It really is fascinating the different perspectives on that game that are out there. I was there that day, and I've read

dilbert

Some fans who booed might have crossed a line, but lumping all fans who booed

Megamind

11/21/21 4:29pm

Is everyone sure they were booing him? Couldn't they have been cheering for him

Go Boooooooobik!

NewMexiCoug

11/21/21 5:11pm

Is that right? I admit I haven't read Elder Holland's comments for quite a few years now. That would make more sense.

dilbert

11/21/21 5:17pm

Yes, I read it first as a 3rd person account well before Elder Holland was told

NewMexiCoug

11/21/21 5:22pm

Maybe Elder Holland was suggesting we should never boo during a game we know what the final outcome on the scoreboard

CLCougar

11/21/21 3:57pm

I'm in my mid-30s and the only thing i ever knew about Bobik was the talk...

Daniel was a really good friend of mine when he was playing in Germany.

tjngirlz

11/21/21 4:33pm

Dude, his wife walked in front of the student section and trash talked them

travelcoug

11/21/21 4:47pm

Which was after all the clowns here trashed him online.

tjngirlz

11/21/21 4:50pm

Sooooo because clowns trash him on-line she goes ape Yewt on the student section

travelcoug

11/21/21 4:59pm

I think it's weird that you are so emotionally invested in this.

tjngirlz

11/21/21 5:20pm

No emotion at all. Just disbelief that they pushed this and the false narrative

travelcoug

11/21/21 5:22pm

It is an injustice to re-tell this false narrative and to continue

travelcoug

11/21/21 5:23pm

I was here on the board when this all went down. Even participated in some of it

tjngirlz

11/21/21 5:27pm

Fans are under no obligation to be happy and supportive of people who leave and

travelcoug

11/21/21 5:32pm

Agreed.

I will respectfully disagree about the program being able to use his son.

blueaussie

11/21/21 4:57pm

This is what happens when you are a well connected spoiled lying Yewt hurt

travelcoug

11/21/21 4:41pm

I was a student at the time and at the game it's a non story that should have

Mitty

11/21/21 4:55pm

Elder Holland put the story in a talk.

Stev_ie

11/21/21 10:55pm

This is a terrible example of bad sportsmanship. Elder Holland should have sat

Scott_Tenorman

11/22/21 7:01am

Agreed, it wasn't his best choice for an object lesson, and gave more legs

I am old enough to remember Indiana native Marty Perry playing for BYU and

NewMexiCoug

11/21/21 5:20pm

Sounds like the Notre Dame fans checked their religion at the door.

IceCreamButt

11/21/21 5:35pm

Bobik and his wife were great people. really really good people.

All I know is that his Dad served a mission in a branch we used to live in...

Why r we talking about something that was 20 years ago? Move on everbody!

baishel44

11/21/21 10:06pm

I didn't even know the story. There is a lesson. Don't attack people.

Stev_ie

11/21/21 11:20pm

I remember fans at that game chanting "Traitor"

GhostRider

Here's a full replay of that game:

Holland came to College Station when I was in grad school there & talked trash

And now he peddles overpriced socks.

Why was Bobik booing your instructor's talking point?
