Physical and medical problems prevent me from attending games. But i made most home games for over 50 years. I never booed the Cougars.
I had box seats in the gold section of the Dome and we had this guy who was always yelling “Do something Yeoman” when things weren’t going well. Looking back that was kind of funny but it wasn’t booing.

That sounds like someone I know.
Jim, I know you would be at the games if possible. As we grow older we all will face a time that the body just has too many limitations to do the things we love.

Don’t forget Sumlin. Sumlin deserved every boo he received.

I remember that so well…and I also remember a frustrated Case waving him and the punt team off the field…but I do think the majority of those boos were aimed at traitor Sumlin…and no, I have never booed a Cougar or a visiting team…although it was tempting every time we played the Aggies or whorns lol

Okay…I have boooed refs. Lots of times. More so when we were in C-USA. Right after they all got out of that little bitty VW bug. With their clown suits on…

In running this board, the moderators/owners have been accused of anything and everything. We either are too strict, or are not strict enough. We shouldn’t ban anyone (censorship argument) or we don’t do enough banning. We are either on a power trip or we are not paying enough attention. We are either sunshine pumpers or we hate the Coogs and so on… it can be no win.
Then there are the select few who want to cause trouble - either by being pedantic, or they think Coogfans is a court of law where everything is to be argued. Or there are those who use VPNs to skirt IP bans. We have a couple of folks who have badgered us for literally over a decade. All of which we find to be just bizarre. Then there are the “1st amendment folks” who think that gives them the right to say and do anything they want – on a privately owned, membership based online board. And then there are the folks who are obnoxious and hassle people but don’t quite blatantly break any rule. That’s still a form of behavior we don’t want here.
We have had a long standing tradition of not allowing players to be attacked. You can criticize their play, but even then it shouldn’t be vicious. But you cannot attack a player personally. For some reason this is hard for some folks to understand.
It’s not hard to be on Coogfans:
- Don’t be a jerk
- Don’t be profane
- Don’t insult players or each other
- Don’t be political
- Remember this is supposed to be a friendly place and a community
The overwhelming majority of our members are simply great, and make this a well respected and well know community, for that we are grateful.
So a couple of things to help keep this place a good community:
-
Keep flagging! Flags are really the only way we can know what’s going on as we can’t read every post. Sometimes it might take us a few hours, but we will get to them.
-
If you simply have someone you don’t want to interact with, we have an IGNORE feature… and here is how you do it: Ignore user feature finally here!
Lastly we have accused of using the ban hammer too much. When in truth bans are rare. It’s less than .005 percent of our membership… and under thirty folks in 5 years (several being the same person under several names).

Twinmom… if someone is continuously belittiling you, please flag the person/post. We don’t want folks on here who make a habit of hassling anyone.
