Ha! It's not the team that should be booed, but the coaches! Coaches must display hi selfesteem
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!

Yes it is ok to boo at game. Even though these are amateurs in the loosest since of the word. These guys are not getting paid put are trained to be professional. If things are going bad fans who pay good money to see their team play have the right to show displeasure. It might sound bad on TV but i guess it is better than throwing bricks through windows.

I really dont think that fans are booing the kids that we enjoy watching play on saturaday. You do not have to be so theatrical by saying, : these kids are giving their heart and soul." The boos are for Tubb and this floundering fish that has progressively gotten worse each Saturaday. These kids who play realize that the game plan they are given is crippling them offensively and I believe they know who the boos are for. But what does Tubb have to worry about and why should he really care. I mean if he gets fired his contract buyout is $6,000,000 that Auburn will have to pay him. I think that he is just arrogant enough to actually believe that he has had a good career at Auburn. WOW! what has he done besides 1 SEC championship, a undefeated season with a team so talented that the three stooges could have coached, and beat a weak Alabama team for 6 years. His time is up...boo him out of Auburn!

Well Jerry at joe cribbs. I dont believe in Booing a young man out there giving his all,But i have no trouble Booing a coach who calls 4 straight pass plays when trying to get 3 yards.

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.

What the hell is happening to Auburn's offense? Last week we lost by a mere friggin extra point. Wednesday we fire Tony Franklin. I say we because we are a team! Tommy most likely did not fire Tony Franklin on his own accord. He had to have permission from someone else higher in the Auburn Alumni network. Whether or not it was right Tommy Tuberville is our coach & we have to support him. Secondly, We have 6(six) consecutive wins against Bama. This is not time to even consider losing Tommy Tuberville. As an AU family, we need to sick together & finish this season, and start to work on next season. Also, Kody Burns should stay a tail back. HE is no Q.B.

Well, you are paying for their scholarships, so booing is acceptable in certain circumstances. I think that if they aren't giving it their all, they should be booed. After all, if someone else is paying for your school, they should be allowed to voice their disapproval of you not trying as hard as you should.

Well, gee. The boos were out again in Jordan-Hare. They came out right around the time the wheels fell off our wagon...

This is going to be a long, painful rest of the season...

OK, ok, let's get it straight here. The question is, "Is it OK to boo your team?" Intrinsically, the legal answer is "Yes". It's a free country. The act, in-of-itself is not illegal. So, unless your team has filed an injunction in court which dis-allows you from doing so, you can, and it's OK.

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.

About #8: Wuz I PI$$ED?!? YES!!! Did I "boo"? NO!!!!!!!! Come to think of it, I have never boo'ed them for any reason, especially their losses, even during years when they lost 7 or 8 games. But, that's just me.

That one got me, Lennie. Funny stuff, right there!

Zac — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:22:04 -0000

Lennie, I thinks it's a matter of perspective. When I studied Calculus, I had home-"work" to do most nights after class. Home-work, in my opinion, is practice. You want to be good at math, you have to practice, practice, practice. That's what the home-work is for. Get in good practice, and the parts you can't get right, you solve em with you professor (coach), then practice some more. You do the same thing before a test (game). You wanna guarantee an A on a test ("W" in a game) you do more home-work/practice. The amount of work or practice you put in is generally directly proportional to your success. Having played football, having minored in math, I'm quite familiar with the hard "work" involved with each practice. Practice, Work, it's all the same.

It's a difficult choice. Probably an order O(n log2 n) problem.

When in doubt, choose both!

Too much "history" to be a politician. The Mayor is a state of mind.

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.

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.
