Tebow Calls Out Fans For Booing Team

[oxrageous]

I choose to show my displeasure by closing my wallet and not attending any games.

That also makes you a ban fan, MJM. You're going to get an earful now.

People have the right to do a lot of things that are still classless. When you boo college ball players it is classless. There are other ways to voice displeasure with Muschamp. It just makes you look like a clown when you are booing a highschool or college team you came to support. Old guy sitting in the stands booing, yeah real classy. The boos do not discriminate and they cannot be known if they are directed at the team or the coach. Sometimes people just need to take a step back.

But if people want to act like some classless douche Noles, it's a free country.

So we can't be upset with the current state of the program because our of past success? Resting on your laurels won't make you better team in the future. I'm not a huge fan of booing, but I understand where it comes from. Everyone on the field are adults and if anything, the booing should make them want to be better players. Bigger deal than it's made out to be...

People have been booing at sporting events since they were invented. You guys act like this is something new.

 

[GatorInKnox]

What's hilarious is all the people advocating booing the players are the ones who never go to games. Shocking!

We wouldn't be having this conversation if the people who go to the games weren't booing.

I understand the message Timmy is sending but how else can fans show their displeasure other than not attending? Having a half-empty stadium also sends a real bad message to the players. At least the fans are there and showing they care.

It has nothing to do with past success, Vandy, Kintucky, or North East Louisiana wouldn't be happy with the current state of this program.

Squash takes pride in being a loser. I'm not going to look up his record at Hershey Tech but I'm sure I know what I'll find.

People have been committing murder since the beginning of time, should that be accepted practice now, too?

 

[t-gator]

I don't think it's cool to boo college players but could it be any worse than calling them out on national tv?

 

[NVGator]

This team, this coaching staff and this AD's current decisions deserve the booing. Just like John Brantley curling up in the fetal position deserved to be booed. They are all really bad.

Bulletproof logic right there

Difference between being upset and acting like you've been there before. You can be upset and voice frustration to the administration in the form of calls, emails, letter writing, staying home, but booing makes you look like an old crusty DB that thinks they know everything. If the coaching staff recruited players who are not great that is the coaches fault. If the coaches cannot make a player improve that is the coaches fault. Booing at a game just makes your fan base look like the loser fans that support lesser schools (ie Miami).

Using the excuse "it's been done that way forever" is lacking in logic itself.

 

[OllieGator]

Maybe we shouldn't cheer too loud...it might scare them.

You still cannot accept that fans are the way they are. You think fans should only cheer (or not cheer) your way and anything that's different than that you look down on.

So answer this question, Sasquatch: What is worse, the season ticket holder that goes to the game and boos, or the one that chooses not to go to the game at all?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Perhaps we should put a warning label on the stadium so potential recruits know we don't tolerate losers well.

If you're only going to go to the game and act like a complete and total as*hole, stay home.

Staying home cuts far deeper than a few minutes of boos. It means less money generated by football, which means fewer jobs, fewer donations to UF academics, and cuts to other sports programs, etc. But yeah, booing is the worst...

Then how would you get in?.....sorry I could not resist.
