You're there already, why leave? Otherwise, why bother going in the first place? You go in the first place because you hope your team will play well and not be down by 35 middle of 2nd qtr. You leave early because you are fed up watching terrible football. Not a hard concept to grasp. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You HOPE it will play well. You EXPECT it will play well. But you watch it play. But if you only want to watch them play well, then watch from home until they start meeting your personal standard. Leaving early just renders the whole day pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but there were a lot of people that felt like us yesterday. When they play like dog doo-doo I don't stay around to watch the team play. The reason I didn't renew MBB tix for this year and may be done with football next season. $4,500 can be spent in better entertainment IMO. We are all entitled to those - opinions that is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antagonist said: this turd cant be polished. making a couple plays after being down 30+ points is not “showing life,” it’s just the other team taking its foot off the gas & subbing in 2nd teamers to avoid injury. there was no life there, it was just BYU easing off… & they STILL added 20 more points while we were “showing signs of life” 🫤 Teams don't "ease off". The backups are just as hungry as starters, want to play badly, and want to impress the coaches. I've coached and this is a fact. The OC may call more running plays to eat clock, but the players will play. They are getting scholarships and (for the most part) play hard no matter what the score is for the reasons I just stated. BTW we also played backups in the second half. I specifically noted backup WR's in the game and guys like Holden Willis getting PT. I also specifically noticed the second team OL guys getting PT. Yeah I look at jerseys to see who is in the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion... and you are certainly entitled to decide to spend your money elsewhere. My point is ... you've already spent the money AND spent the time to go to the stadium. And yes... a whole lot of people feel like you do -- they only like watching teams play when they play well and leave early when they decide they're not having the fun they expected to have. It's a lot more fun when they are winning... but football season is sooooo short... 36-40 hours is all we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in tailgate starting at noon so a 7.5 hour day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
