The worst thing that could happen Saturday

Buford_Julep · September 7, 2006

Daniel Meager comes into the game and is greeted by a chorus of boos.

The fans need to be united behind the team and coaching staff for just a little over 3 hours. I can go 3 hours without registering my opinion. IMO booing by the home fans could have a negative effect on the team morale. It certainly won't help any, and it certainly won't change any coaching decisions.

Though I'll just be lisening to the internet broadcast I agree. We definitetely need to get behind whoever the starter is...even if it should be Woodrow.

This game is very big, they need all the vocal *support* they can get regardless of who plays...or doesn't.

I yell so much during the games that some of the older people that used to have season tickets near me have moved. I hammer the refs almost every time they call something that doesn't go our way. Any time we get a personal foul penalty, I yell at Dickey.

But I NEVER boo our players.

Why in the world would that thought even cross your mind? I've never experienced NT fans do something so classless. What makes you think it would happen now? Did we boo him during our 2-9 last year? The way I see it Meager hasn't lost a game this season.

Thanks for planting the seed though.

I think the worst thing that could happen on Saturday is running out of beer on the hospitality deck. Going to need many celebratory beers.

I don't think booing your own qb would make any recruits very excited about coming to play in Denton either, if any happen to be there.

I think booing players should never happen. The players I feel like booing, I just keep quite and over-cheer when their replacement comes in.

Booing playcalling or Lee Jackson is fine though.

Uhhhhhh ...it could be a repeat of Tulsa?????

I am sure there will be recruits present. As a matter of fact I saw some prospects in Austin Saturday - probably not any kind of an official visit.

Booing the coaches players, and officials (even if it goes against us but is obviously a good call) can not do anything to favorably impress the recruits.

Support - good turnout and cheering (another North Texas first down - is great.

Booing coaches or players probably doesn't do anything to impress the recruits, but I think some good, healthy booing of officials when they make calls against North Texas is actually a positive thing.

Now, there is such as thing as going too far, but if you boo and disagree with the call, it shows that we've got engaged fans who care about how their football team plays and is measured. I seem to remember some recruits last year sitting in front of some Section E people and enjoying the cat-calling and comments.

Well if the crowd is going to boo Meager when he comes in, it will be a lot of booing as he will be the starter- bank it.

I beg to differ with the subject of this thread--- THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN SAT IS A LOSS TO THESE ARROGANT HORSES' REARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
