Not saying I'm OK with booing, but NIL has changed the etiquette for sure. That said, those boos were directed at the coaches, not the players. And frankly, well deserved. Maybe they helped light a fire?

I don’t get the booing, I just do not get it
But I also don’t get Gundy’s mouthpiece and Gundy complaining about empty seats when there’s a winter storm moving through

I didn't boo.
But it's a different world now. The head man is making over 7 million. Some of the players are making more than I make. I come out on a cold and rainy November day to support you and spent several hundred dollars to do so, and this is what you produce?
Let's not forget that BYU is/was a horrible road team. They had no business even being ahead. The comeback was amazing and fun and I'm glad I stayed, but that first half was probably just as bad as UCF.
My sense was that most of it was directed at Dunn and Gundy....but definitely some was directed at Bowman. Twenty years ago I'd say we should NEVER do that, but now, I at least get where it comes from.

No doubt, OSU will probably get a post-season ban and/or loss of scholarships just for asking. Kidding, but not really kidding.
Agree. Gundy needs to zip it, especially after what I consider to be exceptional attendance given the September Debacle.
My guess is that 80% of the fans have at least 1:00 to 1:30 drive AFTER they get out town. And about 10% got 3:00 plus. That kind of weather is not to be trifled with.
I'm not sure this can be overstated. Don't know what he said. RA made a big deal of it when the crew came back from halftime, that Owens spoke to the team instead of Gundy. The team obviously responded.
Glad I stayed through the end but the conditions were miserable. Rain never stopped. 40s and wind. Especially after half when a lot of people left, you really notice it more with less people around to block the wind. I don’t blame the empty student section at all. Thanksgiving break and for many, they are home with family. Dorm lots were nearly empty.
First half felt like many of our games this year where we simply play to the competition. That goes for coaching staff too. Can we just call every game to win and be aggressive? If we had gotten a TD after their early turnover, I think we win big. BYU seemed like a team ready to fold but we gifted them momentum and points and we had to work really hard to take the game back.
We have absolutely nothing to lose this weekend. Play like it and I like our chances. I really wouldn’t be surprised if we won and wouldnt be surprised if we get blown out.

Ahh, the ice bowl. I was in the marching band and could not play at halftime because the slide on my trombone was frozen. Good times.

I was 8 and my parents wrapped me in a trash bag and we stayed till the bitter end. 13-0
Good lord I almost posted this
My first thought live was “F YEAH!” Immediately followed by thinking if Dez Jackson did THAT on the last play in Arlington in ‘21, we get a trophy.
IMO Rather than repeatedly running OG into the teeth of the defense Bowman needs to run three or more times per game. Maybe a quarterback draw. Defenses are charging to the ball, could we run a trap or counter occasionally? If we ran that nice counter in this game I must have missed it. Defensively I’d like to see a little more blitzing. We really don’t have any reason not to unleash every trick play in the books against Texas.

We ran counter a few times, and for the most part BYU had it scouted. We hit LJ3 on several RPO's off of it, though.

During that play, I got in trouble for yelling too loudly at the bar we were in. Specifically yelling "turn up field, TURN UP FIELD!!!!!". He should have run that guy over for sure.
We stayed through the whole game Saturday, though some were ready by halftime due to the weather and the game. Glad we all stuck it out.
Agreed. This specific point was raised multiple times this season when Caleb Williams didn't meet with the media following USC losses. Kind of hard to make the case that these 'are just kids' anymore.
Yep, that was the first thing that came to mind for me when I saw it live. Kind of sucks that it is stuck in my head but.....
Don't know if they've already voted, but if we win this week I think Gundy should still be conference COY, and I'm not sure he shouldn't be anyway. National COY? No chance, and won't even get a vote (unless RA has one, of course).
