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

Mar 3, 5:07pm

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

Mar 3, 5:25pm

I noticed that too and chuckled.

Aunt Rico?

Except she really was a two time all state player, not on the bench not playing.

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

Ron Mexico

Mar 3, 5:35pm

He has been shooting them better lately.

Does 1 out of the last 5 games constitute lately??

BYUDM93

Mar 3, 9:10pm

67% last 10 games

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

WallaX2

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

Mar 3, 5:35pm

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

Mar 3, 5:46pm

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

Mar 3, 5:54pm

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

BYU '80

Mar 4, 2:51am

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

Ron Mexico

Mar 3, 5:38pm

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

Mar 3, 7:06pm

Exactly

carmelcougar

Mar 3, 7:24pm

BUT, the thing I like about ‘fair-weather’ fans

All good.... there's nothing wrong with having those teetering feelings when things are going badly. Also nothing wrong

Meds? If only we could all be the pictures of pure intelligence like you

BYU '80

Mar 4, 3:01am

We lost a similar game this year at Texas Tech

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

Mar 4, 2:09pm

It was a 95% win probability at halftime.

BYU '80

Mar 4, 2:11pm

Nobody disputes this.

Mar 4, 2:24pm

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…

macdizzle

Mar 3, 5:38pm

Emotionally undisciplined.

Mar 3, 5:39pm

Self righteous

Coug

Mar 3, 5:41pm

I agree. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t an over reaction.

Mar 3, 5:44pm

Especially in hindsight, they absolutely were an overreaction.

Mar 3, 5:49pm

Speaking of overreactions - “self righteous indignation.” 😉

Mar 3, 6:21pm

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

shimmy

Mar 3, 6:28pm

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

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.

Mar 3, 11:53pm

Exactly

BYU '80

Mar 3, 10:27pm

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

Big Daddy D

Mar 3, 11:28pm

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

gmoney7

Mar 3, 5:37pm

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

MadHawaiian

Mar 3, 6:52pm

Ah 20/20 told you so. None of those were terrible in the moment.

Longseason

Mar 3, 6:56pm

Yes they were. All bawl baby whiny posts. All terrible.

Big Daddy D

Mar 3, 11:31pm

Everyone will be sure to ask for your permission as the arbiter of truth before

BYU '80

Mar 4, 3:05am

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

Big Daddy D

Mar 4, 6:09pm

I learned quickly, NEVER be on CB during a BYU game

Croweater

Mar 3, 6:58pm

Absolutely right

carmelcougar

Mar 3, 7:25pm

As per your boardname you'd be the one getting called out. 😂

Mar 3, 9:27pm

In fairness corn pops was not really an overreaction. I think he was just saying what a lot of people were thinking

thirdgencoug

Yes. I find it quite irksome. Brilliant. But irksome.

BYUDM93

Mar 3, 9:21pm

Actually- quite a few of those were not over reactions

Yours was my favorite one!

Mar 4, 6:44am

Link to your prediction of a win at halftime. Love these know it all posts

BYU '80

Mar 3, 10:26pm

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

Mar 3, 11:04pm

Link to where you were right? It’s ok if you couldn’t admit it at first

BYU '80

Mar 4, 2:33am

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

carmelcougar

Mar 5, 8:23am

Even funnier when they double down about their post after the fact.
