Is it acceptable to boo your own team?

Booing coaches and refs is acceptable. Booing any player is unacceptable. And it is classless to boo the other team as it comes out of the tunnel. Those kids work just as hard to represent their university as the Vols do.

These are young men playing and most are nervous anyway. Never boo them, support till the end

No, don't boo. At least not this team. This is a first year coach with a talent deficiency, we have known this would be the case months prior to the season. The natural moans and groans that happen when the pass is incomplete on third down is different.

It is only ok to boo when it is undoubtedly directed at your head coach on the hot seat for doing something stupid (i.e. Dooley kneeing the ball against Missouri)

I'm not going to boo 20 year old kids.

But I'm also not going to say I have a problem with people who boo Derek Dooley, Lane Kiffin, or Butch Jones.

This. I think most people who boo are booing the coaches not the players. Our coaches the last several years have deserved to be booed.:blink:

booing 18-22 year olds really makes ya feel good about yourself, imo.

If it's a 4th down call that screws up and the players can tell it's obvious the crowd is booing the coaches then it's iffy but NEVER boo a player.

you don't boo the players (though you can loudly voice and question why they did that) but don't boo em'. save that for the horrible coaching that the millionaires are displaying and boo opponents back on the bus.

I would like to hear from those who think it is okay to boo the team. Based on your personal perspective... at what age is it not okay?

Do you think it is okay to boo a HS football team?

How about Junior High?

Is it okay for parents/fans to boo your son's T-ball team?

I'm just curious where the line is for booing non-professional athletes so we can clear this up once and for all.

I heard my team and other teams booed in high school. I was cussed and yelled at by coaches. That stuff prepares u for the hardships of life. We need to stop babying kids these days!

Is the no booing crowd the same people that don't want the score kept at youth games anymore? The ones that prefer timeouts instead of paddling. Maybe we should turn off the scoreboard Saturday.

No real problem with that... that's the coaches job. It's not the job of the fans to blatantly criticize the performance of non-professional athletes imo. This is especially true when many don't even fully understand the game.
