Booing the Vols

[ziv1173]

Booing a college player that is giving his all is pretty low.

Booing a coach/staff and/or playcalling is fine.

if someone boo's these kids we should go to their job at McDonalds and boo them, oh wait this isnt a job for these kids they do not get paid.

and for the people who say they are getting paid by a free education how soon they forget the millions of dollars they make for the university.

and also for those people who say they had to pay for their education with student loans maybe you should have worked harder in school because if you did not have the athletic ability to get a sports scholarship they are such things as academic scholarships.

How are the players to know if they are being booed or the coaches are being booed?

As I posted previously--there are going to be recruits... LOTS OF THEM. Let's please keep it classy. Butch can sell the team win or lose, but he can't sell idiot fans.

Depends on circumstances

 

[SaintLouisVol]

I've never booed any team, coach, player or official at any sporting event for any reason.

How can one boo be distinguished from another?

Is the Boo we use at Halloween different? Can we still say Boo at Halloween????

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Pro sports: absolutely; Student-Athletes: absolutely not.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Fans don't always boo. Sometimes they say, "@#$&%#$%*$#@$%"

 

[MG1968]

of course it's ok to boo your own team

as far as it damaging the fragile psyche of a 19 year old, that's rubbish, it should motivate them to work even harder

what a bunch of nancy's

 

[sanglemangle]

show some class not your a--

 

[orangeluvr]

Instead of booing just sit there and act dumbfounded, you know, that WTF look. :crazy:

 

[SayNoToJorts]

People saying they have never boo'd at a game obviously didn't attend the 2000 UT/UF game in Neyland

 

[volomon]

Is it acceptable to boo your own team?

professional game I think so. College when you have recruits watching, control yourself beat yourself up, kick your dog but dont boo till ypu are away from the stadium.

Are you suggesting we establish a certain day every year dedication to specifically coaches and one to players in which the boo will be easily interpreted?

 

[GoobieVol]

Booing is booing. It might make folks feel better about themselves to say that they were booing the play calling or coaching, but players aren't going to be able to distinguish the difference. IMO Someone made a joke in another thread about these kids not being a porcelain doll, but the truth is emotionally a lot of them are. Like it or not these kids have probably NEVER been boo'ed. And to hear it for any reason is going to seem it is directed at them. IMO

p.s Mike Gundy said boo him, "hes a MAN"! lol

ukeb:

thanks for that.

But you are correct....refs and bad calls I boo, NOT players/coaches

 

[Cyclopskiller]

I'll yell, but never boo.

 

[supersmo18]

But its ok to woo

Lets just clear that up for us who like to woo

I'm a wooer.

You've never booed an official for blowing a call in any sport? Are you a mute?

 

[SugarLandVol]

No.

 

[volfan411]

Dale Earnhart once said it does not matter if they boo or cheer as long as they do something. It is when they become quite that you should worry.

 

[YorkVol]

People were booing while we were winning? Wow.
