It’s not about truth. It’s about self respect and composure.

I decided to go back and read some overreactions from CBers during halftime.

It’s weird because most of those posters are rational and well reasoned guys.

Funny that Crazed had the most reasonable reply to one of the comments.

Comments on Dallin Hall's foul shooting are fair game though

Yep, he was shooting some FT and the announcer said one the better FT

Hall should have no reason to shoot a FT% under 60%
Ron Mexico

He has been shooting them better lately.

I actually think irrational posters that have repeatedly made absurd in-game

Gotta confess, I lose my mind when folks post "game over" in first half...
CLCougar
Mar 3, 5:24pm
Game over and season over (early in a season in any sport) are both nuts

Overreaction? I mean, we were getting our door blown off and making just dumb mental mistakes

Undisciplined is a character flaw. 1-13 is an anomaly as was 7-10. Very easy to

Pope literally indicated a week or so ago that the team has struggled mentally at times...
Coug
Mar 3, 5:49pm
I’d say battling through tough shooting nights is a sign of mental toughness

Shot selection is definitely a characteristic of bad decision making at times

If you say game over in the first half, you need meds or enjoy hand wringing.

Down 17... Would love to know the odds of coming back from that...
Coug
Mar 3, 5:40pm
Listen to their Coach post-game. He KNEW things would swing back in the 2nd half to the norm for both
CLCougar
Mar 3, 5:50pm
That's a great idea... Let's get rid of the fairweather fans.
Coug
Mar 3, 5:52pm
Lol... we're stuck with them. And they love you for representing them so passionately...do continue
CLCougar
Mar 3, 5:54pm
Expressing disappointment and frustration is normal. Calling "game over" in the first half, lambasting Coach Pope
CLCougar
Mar 3, 5:59pm
This. 100% of fans hate being down 17 at half. 98% of fans can hold it together

We lost a similar game this year at Texas Tech
GSwarriorcoug
Mar 4, 10:22am
But they did put score them by 29. Much bigger difference than the TT game even
BYU '80
Mar 4, 2:05pm
Agree, but winning the game wasn't out of the question at halftime
GSwarriorcoug
Mar 4, 2:09pm
It was a 95% win probability at halftime.
BYU '80
Mar 4, 2:11pm
Nobody disputes this.
OverratedHumor

And BYU had a 94% win probability at halftime at TT.

Mar 4, 2:42pm
I thought byu laid a giant egg at TT. Should have been over at ht.
BYU '80
Mar 5, 6:14am
1/13 actually. But yes, calling for guys to get benched 12 minutes into a game…

Emotionally undisciplined.

Self righteous

Mar 3, 5:41pm
I agree. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t an over reaction.
ColonelMustard
Mar 3, 5:44pm
Especially in hindsight, they absolutely were an overreaction.

Speaking of overreactions - “self righteous indignation.” 😉

Hold the phone. The game was on ESPN+. How did you watch?

hmmmm. I am not sure about that
DJROSS
Mar 3, 8:47pm
The irony is that the team turned out to be much more mentally
GSwarriorcoug
Mar 3, 9:26pm
Well fans arent playing so I’m not sure that comparison is worth anything
BYU '80
Mar 3, 10:33pm
It's just a nice way to judge and mock those fans.

No you all were bawling like you always do when the players are not pacing to

Sure Pope would love to do a “mean tweets” from CB. That would be fun with these halftime comments

Steadiness and encouraging aren’t attributes of a lot on CB and it’s

You were wrong. It’s ok. We all do it as fans. Just maybe learn from it 🤷♂️

It’s ok to feel like things aren’t going right, keep cheering them on and hope for sports drama!
