who says we have to take any criticism

I don't come here to get criticized by other fans.

Also, he was hardly being constructive.

And I knew there would be a bunch of BYU fans falling over themselves to praise him and bash BYU fans.

Just like Mitt Romney and John McCain always being first in line to badmouth Republicans, but never have anything bad to say about democrats.
Yeah, I threw that in there!

There are so many embarrassing fans on this SMC fan post thread. Give me a break

You should look up the definition of strumpet

Coop

You should watch Dumb and Dumber.

Ha, fair enough. It has been a while.

10 Schrute bucks for the reference. After watching the movie probably 200 times...

I accept.

"With good intentions" = is only complimentary

3/9/23 9:17am

BYU fans should be our family. We can make fun of the bad fans to each other,

My Fingers Hurt

3/9/23 9:23am

If you can't see the tone in his post, not sure what to tell you. And he isn't

3/9/23 9:39am

But do you actually disagree with anything he said?

3/9/23 7:09pm

Yes, I disagree with plenty of what he said. LOL.

3/9/23 10:25pm

Nah, doesn't have to be all compliments. But that guy was trolling 100%.

CPAcoug87

What is the likelihood one of the few SMC fans found CB?

hydrocoug

Yeah, we're proud yewts towards SMC. Screw you, world.

Weird comment. No.

Good. There may yet be hope for you.

canofpicante

3/9/23 9:30am

So, you dislike BYU fans and people with nice trucks. Got it.

My Fingers Hurt

3/9/23 9:32am

No, I dislike self-important kids trying to gatekeep fanhood.

canofpicante

3/9/23 9:57am

People with trucks do that?

My Fingers Hurt

3/9/23 10:10am

The ones loyal to the Yew do

3/9/23 10:29am

Well,he's entirely right regarding fans whining about officials.

Belboz

3/9/23 9:21am

Fans do stupid things. Agreed. I just don't like how this guy comes in here and

My Fingers Hurt

Yeah, I really don't care.

I'm sure SMC fans whine about officials too. it's common everwhere and obnoxious

Belboz

3/9/23 11:21am

All fans whine about officials, and think it is totally justified in their case.

I won't disagree with specific observations if they are accurate

Belboz

3/9/23 9:35am

Complaining about officials occurs across the entire country. It's strange to me

3/9/23 9:46am

Also everyone spins it as BYU fans think refs are biased against them.

3/9/23 10:00am

Yeah dude, totally only a BYU fan thing..

JohnnyComeLately

3/9/23 9:49am

If you think it's just a BYU thing, you haven't looked around

Belboz

3/9/23 9:54am

Nobody is saying that though. You and SMU fans are saying the opposite.

ochobeeguy

3/9/23 3:27pm

I've written repeatedly in this thread that it's not unique to BYU fans

Some over the top apologizing, some dumb, unnecessary attempts at smack talk.

Mormons are obsessed with being viewed as flawlessly nice

cougarbart

3/9/23 9:42am

His tone is annoying but he has a lot of valid points. We trashed on the WCC

3/9/23 9:54am

Good point on Bennett. Dude is a good basketball coach.

APowerfulY

3/9/23 11:14am

But were we wrong about the gymns or teams?

ochobeeguy

3/9/23 3:31pm

Amen

jlangager

3/9/23 9:56am

A lot of it is just users on CB trying to virtue signal and be the "example".

Funny, when I saw the title I thought you meant the people who were still

Outperformed us? We are 18-20 versus SMC not exactly dominant. And MBB is their entire existence

My suggestion for SouthernCoug here:

whirl

3/9/23 10:38am

Was referring to our performance in the WCC, SMC and Gonzaga specifically

3/9/23 10:53am

Yes and we beat both teams in years we were expected to lose and lost in years we were expected to win.

JohnnyComeLately

3/9/23 11:22am

Sure, we should be respectful, but that doesn't mean rolling over on internet

My Fingers Hurt

3/9/23 10:37am

Not referring specifically to this poster (who was trolling), but to the points

3/9/23 10:50am

I've never understood the issue CB has with "High School Gyms"/other WCC issues

3/9/23 10:44am

Even if BYU had 10 conference championships, I would still think the league is

3/9/23 10:53am

Nobody is blaming the gymns for losing. Just saying it's like watching a HS game

I hated the gyms bec it's so small time.

I think most of us are thick skinned enough to take some valid criticism.

APowerfulY

I love me a good strumpet

3/9/23 11:17am

Oops, was making a joke, but then looked up word to make sure it wasn't a real one. Upon seeing definition, I do NOT

3/9/23 11:21am

You don't need to convince us. Just hope your wife doesn't see.

hydrocoug

3/9/23 11:28am

I have some explaining to do. Now wondering if OP misspelled "crumpets" or needs a Bishop interview

3/9/23 11:31am

Behold

My Fingers Hurt

3/9/23 11:38am

It's funnier now that I looked up definition of strumpet. That's a joke I assume lots of viewers probably missed

3/9/23 12:14pm

No, fans that can't take some constructive criticism are embarrassing.

shakarocks

3/9/23 12:19pm

To single out BYU fans for issues that face every fan base is the most embarrassing.

3/9/23 12:25pm

I'm a well traveled BYU fan.

shakarocks

3/9/23 12:32pm

And how, precisely, does smarmy preaching to CougarBoard accomplish your goal of getting us fans to a “higher level”?

3/9/23 12:37pm

Hey, if no one ever says anything then nothing changes.

shakarocks

I'm glad you're here making a difference!

CPAcoug87

shakarocks

3/9/23 1:17pm

You should set up seminars and charge money. I’m sure there’s a market for your expertise and sermons to the heathen.

3/9/23 3:51pm

I'll let you in for free.

shakarocks

3/9/23 4:09pm

Nope, just annoyed by “holier than thou” sermons on CB. My fanhood is solid and does not need your correction.

3/9/23 3:50pm

Sensitive.

APowerfulY

3/9/23 5:19pm

I’m here for this.

APowerfulY

3/9/23 1:10pm

For a "well traveled BYU fan," you don't know what you are talking about.

3/9/23 1:29pm

Did I say booing was bad?

shakarocks

3/9/23 1:52pm

Ok, then you might want to edit your post.

3/9/23 2:03pm

There are a lot of ways to cry and whine

shakarocks

3/9/23 4:10pm

Doesn't matter, BYU is no different than anywhere else.

3/9/23 5:06pm

For a well-traveled fan, you seem to have not even been to youth games…

ochobeeguy

3/9/23 3:40pm

Not only been to, I've played, coached, and officiated them
