Fantastic Take

Charles Darwin

Was that Saban, or Mike Gundy? Every word was true.

Except the part about "they're not getting paid to play here" 🙂

I love how a man, paid millions, lectures others on the true meaning of the game

MarylandFan

Maybe his success is related in part to understanding that truth

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 9:56am

He belittles fan expectations of entitlement to "be entertained"

MarylandFan

9/30/22 10:15am

They are still people not objects. He is pushing back on the idea that they

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 11:09am

Burrowing down that line of thinking, why are coaches compensated so much?

MarylandFan

9/30/22 12:23pm

Winning somehow manages to entertain most enough to produce those millions

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 12:33pm

I can't make sense of that. Where does money come from at losing programs?

MarylandFan

9/30/22 1:43pm

The fans he is talking about are customers not shareholders and he doesn’t care

Charles Darwin

When is criticism of a coach valid?

MarylandFan

When they lose?

Yeah, I go to games and watch games to be entertained. If you can’t entertain

What does his paycheck have to do with it? Your bitterness is showing.

What this board needs is more 4 & 5 star recruits like Sabin gets

A little fan introspection really cools the fire.

'we used to be just happy with a win'.

College football players are there for our entertainment

Huge Manatee

Who keeps paying to watch entertainment that doesn't entertain them?

StarMan

9/30/22 10:01am

You find blowouts to be entertaining? If entertainment is the standard shouldn't

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 10:04am

Most BYU fans would have enjoyed a blowout last night

Huge Manatee

Most BYU fans did enjoy the game last night but the entertainment level was

Mmmmmmmmm....nah

Certain folks like being upset

Charles Darwin

Pounding the Aggies would have been extremely entertaining

Huge Manatee

I like watching my team score a lot of points.

OmahaThunderCoug

If I see a blowout I never keep watching

Charles Darwin

Over the top

cougarbart

9/30/22 10:04am

Cougarbart demands more mutual respect and less condescension

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 10:06am

What exactly did I “demand” in my post

cougarbart

9/30/22 10:10am

That was over the top? Any fan who gets offended by that gentle of a rebuke needs help.

Perseguir

9/30/22 10:11am

So Saban is allowed to defend coaches and players but fans can’t defend

cougarbart

9/30/22 10:12am

What do fans need to defend themselves over? Saban is saying that just because a fan paid money to go to a game or

Perseguir

9/30/22 10:39am

That’s fine as long as coaches and players

cougarbart

You don't think he knows that? He is talking about a very specific soul sucking

"these guys aren't getting paid to play here"

deja-blu

They are paid and it's now professional, and Saban makes millions.

I think Ron McBride said it best in a call-in show 25 years ago

ImaFBfan

This is good in theory. Truth is different. Players get paid now, and college

Idacoug

Not to mention the social clout that comes with being a college football player

cougarbart

9/30/22 12:56pm

Are you one of those guys who feels entitled to say vile things to professional

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 2:46pm

No but what are these vile things Saban is referring to?

cougarbart

Can we sticky this. BYU fans are as bad as any fans out there. I guarantee Kalani wishes he could give the same message.

I don't talk bad about players but I do expect more from coaches esp certain coa

It's amazing to see so much hubris from grumpy CBs who think they know better
