Booooooo

Boo the $&@)! Out of them if their not playing up to their potential, and they’re not.. maybe it motivates them.. soft hands and participation awards don’t get it done .. go out and earn it stop being entitled brats

The booing was followed by the chant, “FIRE LUDWIG. FIRE LUDWIG.” It was pretty obvious we weren’t booing the players.

As for me – I will rarely boo a college football player on either side. I never get booing the opposition as they run onto the field. That’s just not me.

I will, however, boo coaches, play calling, refs, etc.

I am not saying that I am right or wrong. It’s just my style.

Maybe it’s just me but it seems like we are playing not to lose. No energy or explosive plays. No special team excitement. The home games this year have been boring and little to get the crowd involved. Reality has over taken expectations. Losing two home games to inferior opponents is unacceptable to me as a season ticket holder.

It takes a lot for me to have to boo the team. What’s been simmering for two years now is enough. We’re not talking about a little inconvenience here and the fans and players have put up with WAY more than they should be expected to.

I will boo only if it’s clear the effort isn’t being put forth. As for coaches being booed, I think that’s fair game. You’re a big boy being paid a lot of money. If you’re not doing a good job, I’m sorry, that’s how things work. Many season ticket holders and or people that just bought tickets saw a p**s poor performance on the field this past weekend. I was frustrated watching it in person and they should be too.

I boo at the product. I spend my money getting Ute’s stuff, travel round trip 1,000 three times a year for home games, and watch and support religiously on TV and in person. I have even traveled for other games outside Utah. I feel I have a right to boo substandard play and coaching, especially when some players make more in NIL than I make in 5 years. Also, the head coach makes more in a year than I will my entire working life. The way I see it is they are employees of the university.

Spin it this way, if they we your employees and sucked at their job, would you fire them or at least let them know they are a hindrance?

I’m with you. I never boo anyone or anything. Life’s too short to get p**sed about sports.

While I understand your point, booing for many people doesn’t come from a serious place. A college football game is a place where we set norms aside and everyone silently agrees that we are all going to act like children for 3 hours. Grown men dress up in costumes, we do dances when we succeed, and light fireworks and fire cannons when we score. Fans are part of the pageantry just like everybody else. I’ve screamed louder about a bad PI call during a game than I would have if I walked out of the stadium and discovered my car was stolen. It’s fun and passion and hyperbole, but it doesn’t affect my life. Yes, there are some emotional children masquerading as adults that swear and scream personal insults at college kids because they can’t separate the pageantry from reality. They are a small percentage of those booing though generally.

Now that they are paid amateurs, are we not now justified for booing? Prior to being paid college athletes, and some very highly paid, I think it’s a fine line. But they are now paid athletes and when the product is not good, completely justified.

Do you think Rising really cares now if he gets booed. The answer is NO. He will take those boos along with the millions straight to the bank.

bad coaching deserves a good boo.

I’m not for booing our kids or the coaches. But refs…yeah sometimes those guys need a serious call out.

Players get paid now and fans pay a lot to go to games. I think we are past the point in college football where nobody should boo because it might hurt the player’s feelings.

High ticket prices late game starts and a bad product on the field. All leave a sour taste in my mouth. I would never boo but I have been disappointed in the whole game experience this year and last year. My 14 year old grandson and his friend who both play and love football fell asleep during the Arizona game. That sums it up for me.

We should start whistling and hissing like other countries instead of booing. I think the oo sound just carries and is differentiated from the oh sound (for general crowd noise) or ah in yeaaaaaahhhh for cheers. It’s just sounds voicing an emotion. So, really, you are saying you don’t feel there should be any negative emotions shared, only good ones. Silence for frustration!
