Fanblogs Open Conference Championship Thread
Sorry, Tommy. I'm getting a little carried away...
Don't worry about me - I'm hatin' on the Raiders right now. Boooooooooooooo! Commitment to excellence - my azzzzz!
(Yes, WEA, I realize that by invoking a John Wayne impression & referring to Trigger in the same posts that I'm mixing my cowboy hero genre up)
Didn't see anything...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as the team, I can only answer for myself: I have NEVER done it inside the stadium. At home, I've let loose with a few select words, but not at the game.
no. i dont think so.
those guys work their asses off to play out there.
imagine you're on the field, something goes wrong, youre pissed, and then your own fans start to boo.
that just adds insult to injury.
Maybe if your players are being unsportsmanlike like it would be ok, like getting in fights at the end of a game and costing your team a bowl berth in a self inflicted sanction, but for a performance that is not what was expected it is uncalled for at the collegiate level.
While a full scholarship to a major university is not cheap, maybe if they were being paid millions of dollars to do a job it would be appropriate to express discontent with their performance.
*The popular misconception is people were booing Chirs Leak. I can't speak for the rest of the fans, but personally, I booed because Tim Tebow had come in and run a couple of successful plays and - like many others - I wanted to see what else he could do. I was booing the decision to pull Tebow off the field after only two plays (if memory serves, it was either two or three plays). After all the hype around Timmy's recruitment, I think a lot of us were curious to see if he was as good as all the analysts were claiming.
In short, I think it's okay to boo occasionally just to express your displeasure with coaching decisions, such as calling a draw play on 3rd and 18 (thank YOU John McKay!). I do take issue with fans who show up to game after game just to boo.
Luckily for me, not one $ is in Wall Street, but in my company, and we LEND money to people with bad credit. I hope to be moving on up to the EAST side, to that deluxe apartment in the skyyyyyyyy...
NOTE TO ALL THOSE WHO DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET FALLING: You are probably poor....
:-)
Here, follow me...
That's good. I like it. I hope we don't have to watch them jumping off of skyscrapers anytime soon though. I hope they follow your advise and let you lead them to an "underground society" where they can all make a living searching for aluminum cans. Oh wait, I forgot, Alcoa is crashing also. My bad!
Another classic. No doubt about it. What do we call this one? The Golden Trampoline?
If the stocks keep plummeting - everybody's gonna be poor. I read some stuff about FDR's drastic measures back in 1936. The market and all banks were closed down for awhile. People couldn't even get to any of their money if they had any left. I hope it doesn't have to come to that. If it does, then I'm gonna have to "want my mommy" also - as she grows all her own chickens and vegetables up in Fresno. Maybe I'll be able to at least eat.
You got that right, dude. I'm down 30%. I need another beer and I still want my Mommy.
I then broke two of my drinking rules: don't drink alone and don't drink anything mixed. Well, I wasn't REALLY alone as I was surrounded by a bunch of Okies and T-sips at the Gaylord Texan's uber sports bar last night. I probably had one too many margaritas, but they were for medicinal purposes only.
Really WEA your the walking mans best friend
BTW I took some out of the stock market in March and bought some livestock, also borrowed some from a local bank, used my cows as calateral.
Im still in the stock market in more ways than one.
I tryed to get aloan for a house one time, couldnt get the loan without insurance, couldnt get the insurance, until a got a new roof, couldnt get the roof without the loan- purty funny- got the roofing material on credit and hired local drunks to put on the roof, that was the first roof, second roof was a crew of Mexican nationals
I hired a bunch of blondes once to lay sod and had to keep yelling at them, green side up!!!
You didn't think that any of these crooks were gonna let you retire with one single nickel, did you? You might as well hook yourself straight up to an IV......as you might be needing the "constant drip".
Need to escape with a dose of CFB, peanuts, chips & salsa, sausage and some cold cerveza
Demolibs or Republican't...
Over the course of the next 15-20 years or so, you're going to see a vast amount of wealth change hands from Baby Boomer Generation to their children...
Lots of hands moving behind the scenes, but we're on the wrong blog for this stuff...Watching the mortgage finance and real estate fields, and combining that with working with the unemployed, the patterns one tends to see are clear as a bell, at times...
Its wrong to boo student Athletics in any form or fashion
WOW! That is profound. Only someone like you might be able to think as diabolically as I do. I do believe that there is a plan in place to transfer money from the people who have made it, during the golden eras, to the people who can't seem to get anything going now - that would namely be the children of those who have it. Our children would appear to have no chance - unless something rather drastic were done. I believe that the whole "rising cost of real estate scam" was invoked for just this purpose. It was a perfect way to rob equity from those who had it. That money is now being dispersed amongst others. Sadly, the "Illuminati" will end up with alot of it.
:-) J/K. Mr. Mayor...
Too much "history" to be a politician. The Mayor is a state of mind.
In case your momma never told you, women use the Masengale products, and the male of the species is supposed to use the Trojan's. Douchebag......
How else can you explain your presence on this Earth?
I believe, as is usual in most families, that I am probably the spawn of either the mailman or the milkman. You should probably get your DNA checked....If your inquiring mind were so inclined.
I almost made it through one whole day without having to call somebody a duragatory name. And then you had to bring up the "Effeminate Warriors" schtick. Now, I just feel so much remorse. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go and start my "New Year's Resolution" all over again. Maybe I can get it right by around December 31st.......
It still pains my rearend. The flesh still hasn't grown back.
WEA, this is like crack, someone stop me.....
This is the second 'crack' reference this week--the first one was about watching NFL ball. Tampa Gator nailed that one--he got Analogy of the Week for his comments. That's better than a Pulitzer...
I fully expect a weekend in the fanblogs' clink for all this booing, but it was worth it...
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
But why would I want to do that? They are 6-0, and in the top 10 of the projected BCS standings.
Ron: Going to the game tomorrow morning? How'd you guys get stuck with such an early start time?
I'm leaving early to go Boo...I mean, CHEER on the home team... We fellow writers at Track Em Tigers are having a staff meeting at a local watering hole before the game and are going to figure out not only Auburn's offensive woes, but the credit crunch and the stock market slide as well. Oh, and we're going to select the next president, too...
...as requested, :-)
When in doubt, choose both!
I can't believe you didn't come up with this 1st but here goes the top 10 reasons you can boo your college team:
10. If your FOOTBALL team wins a game by a score less than the average NLCS score, you can boo your team.
9. If your coach gets more publicity for his love of the American Cheeseburger than for his offense's successes, you can boo your college team.
8. If all you have to do is beat Pitt and you go to the NC game and you somehow fail to do that, you can boo your college team.
7. If you lose to a team by allowing a last second TD on a goal-line stand (even if they had 5 downs instead of 4), you can boo your football team.
6. If you find yourself being forced due to political correctness to call a long time rivalry by some other name, you can boo your college team (but you MUST add the college president's name at the end of the boo.)
5. If your coach already has the proverbial victory gatorade bath on his head and your team loses because of a last second hail mary, you can boo your team vigorously.
4. If your team loses in a BCS bowl to a non BCS AQ on a two point conversion flea flicker, you can boo your college team.
3. If your coach is an overbloated money hungry control freak who has the fanbase floating on a cloud of titties in hopes that they are back, you CANNOT boo your college team but everyone else is mandated to do so!. (sorry but still a little pissed about the slaughter.)
2. If your team loses badly in every high profile OOC game that they are involved in especially the BCS NC game, you can boo your college team.
1. If you ever find yourself in your stadium on Saturday and Ray Goff is your coach, start booing before the opening kick off because it is probably going to be a long day.
GO DAWGS!
Yes, good old Ray Goff. If you find that Gator fans run around town with bumper stickers that say Gators for Goff, you can boo your team...
You forgot one: if your team loses to Stanford, while being installed as a 43 point favorite (costing a possible NC), you can boo your college team. I'll take mine now. B00000000!
Sorry--AQ is a BPT. (B)en (P)rather (T)erm...
CORRECTION: That should have read: If your team loses a game having had the largest spread ever...
If your team wins 44-6 to knock the #11 team out of the rankings then loses 27-0 to a team that did not go to a bowl game the next, you can boo your team.
#1 you could insert several other coaches names
excellent
It is only okay to boo your team if they aren't your team anymore. Do whatever you want in a bar, at home, in front of a TV or Radio, but at the game? No way.
What do you have to do as a fan? You can say you pay for the tickets, you make the trip, etc. You know exactly who the opponent is, and that anything can happen. Your team can win or lose any game, and you know the trip back can be a happy one or a frustrating one.
What do the players and coaches have to do? MORE. They don't leave at halftime, and they play hard and stick it out until the clock reads 0:00. And then they work harder than anyone all freakin' week to get better so they can win.
To us fans, this is a hobby. To the players, it's their team. To the coaches, it's their job.
You take one second and consider all the work, time, dedication, and sacrifice those coaches and players make as you relax and think YOU'RE the one getting screwed? Because you paid for a ticket and blew a Saturday, knowing your team could either win OR lose?
Boo Me A River.
Wear your colors, win or lose, be proud of your team and make the whole freakin' world know it - or give your tickets to someone who will and go hide under your bed!

Now, if the question were, "Is boo'ing your team ever the right thing to do?", I would have to say NO!!! In my opinion, it's never the right thing to do. It speaks of class, which is...well...all low. Whether you buy in to your team practicing hard or working hard or both, this sport is tough on all of them: Those with superior talent, those with superior work ethic, those with neither but continue to push on, and everyone with what they have and what they wish they had in between.
Booing is a hateful sell-out; you might just as well wash your hands of those you've "boo'ed".
Even the best teams fail; the worst do it so often, it should come as no surprise. When a lesser team approaches the unthinkable, only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it pisses you off, it makes you wonder, it makes you swear, scratch you sack, scream out loud, and cry. It should never make you boo. JMHO.
This is going to be a long, painful rest of the season...
There's your answer. :)
Now if youd like to buy my season ticket and give it to the orphans have at it, but if not, shut your pie hole.
to their players. I have to remember this is a teaching instution weather on the field or in the classroom. It's nice to win. Boy, is it nice to win. But, I have to remember that most of these
athelets will not go on to big pro contracts/Shades of TV ads.
When the coaches display the demeaner of super-ego demi-gods it sends a confusing message to everybody! There's something wrong with the coaches! Not the players!
Duh, it's happened before. Now it's happening again!
