Grizaddict, you always try to make it sound like an innnocent comment. In your exact words: "Please tell me the so-called great fans you guys are so high on were booing the coaches and not the player yesterday." The initial post is about how fortunate we are in the realm of FCS. Your diatribe is another thinly veiled attempt to start crap. Stupid posts like yours make your Griz fans look bad. Do us a favor, go troll elsewhere. At a minimum, don't try to come across as an "innocent question" when your agenda is always clear.Grizaddict wrote:Perfectly stated. I agree with all that you said. I have no idea why a couple of the other posters try to make it a pissing match when I asked a serious question.....were they booing the coaches or the player....because there is a huge difference in my opinion. Has nothing to do with Griz vs Cats. I'd be disgusted if the Griz fans did this, just as I'd be disgusted if Cats fans did it. The Griz Cat line gets drawn the second it involves treating players (who give their all by the way, so much more than 99% here will ever understand) like ******. I was at the game. It wasn't just a few people. Don't make it smaller than it was Cataholic.CatsNoMatterWhat wrote:A BobcatNation poster said in a post a few weeks back--critically--that (paraphrased) "Bobcat fans always fancy themselves the adult in the room"...and that this somehow negated a winning culture.Grizaddict wrote:Please tell me the so-called great fans you guys are so high on were booing the coaches and not the player yesterday. Coaches are adults and are paid (a lot) to win football games, so that heat is a little more fair. But if the fan base was actually booing Bruggeman, you guys should be disgusted. 20 year old kids who give their all don't deserve that. The coaches have put that kid in this position. It's not on him.
I hated this post because it made light of one of the truly extraordinary differences between us and you (The Griz)...we have class. Always.
The booing yesterday was shameful. I have seen several posts today defending it...and I wish upon wish each and every one of them packs up and leaves. Don't renew your tickets. We're better off without you. EACH. AND. EVERY. ONE. OF. YOU.
And then I found faith, because the ratio of people blasting that action vs defending it was 5 to 1.
To all you Grizzly fans out there laughing at us this year, to all you turncoat Cat fans out there who defend booing our coaches or players, or cheerleaders, or mascot, please, be gone, and take your version of a "winning culture" with you.
You're cowards.
REAL fans stand up during those hard times and cheer, and THEN renew their season tickets without saying something ignorant like "well if I'm payin' for another year, we damn well better win!" Please go home. Your individual investment doesn't add up to that much.
The REAL investment, the one that MATTERS to Cruzado, Choate, Costello, Fish, et al, is the investment from the MAJORITY that understands our check doesn't entitle us to wins, but instead entitles us to a front row seat to watch a GREAT group of kids play a GREAT game in a GREAT stadium that WE funded out of LOYALTY and DEVOTION to an institution we BELIEVE in! If this wasn't true, then Wadad wouldn't have displayed the COURAGE necessary to fire the winningest coach in this schools history knowing it would be unpopular. That is a brand of courage you "boo'ers" and those defending them will NEVER have.
To everybody else...
STAND UP! Today! Tell your neighbor, your co-worker, your brother in law, ANYBODY who thinks it's "trendy" or "funny" to boo and be critical to open their checkbook or walk away. Because when we start winning again, YOU will be the FANS who matter.

By the way, if 5% of the fans booed yesterday, that would be 900 people. That is about what I saw yesterday, maybe 10% but I did not see 1 in 10 people in my section booing. I will say that day when Edwards got hurt at WA Griz, easily half of the crowd cheered. Sad.
