1. Every fandom with any sort of winning tradition has a history of whining and complaining. BYU is not unique at all in that regard.
Wish I had said that...
2. King Coug has already stated he wouldn't cheer for the utes if his own child played for them, so no surprise there.
Uh, yeah, cause I'm a BYU fan. I'm not like these clowns who claim to be BYU fans until somebody in the fam gets a connection to the U and their previous allegiance goes out the window. They were never fans to begin with.

Let me ask you a question. Suppose your son ended up playing for the U and it's rivalry week and he and the rest of the Utes are playing BYU? Which team are you rooting for to win?
I root for my son. Supporting my son takes priority over any silly fanhood I have. It's more important to me that my son knows I support him, that I love him, and I am proud of him than any other team I am a fan of in any other sport.

If someone is choosing to cheer for a sports team over cheering for their own son, I think they have their priorities out of whack. What has BYU football ever done for you? Unless you're a booster, BYU football has no idea who you are. You're just someone they can make money off of.

Your son, I would hope, provides more meaning to your life than a football team.

That's why I said I'd hope my son plays a well individually but that doesn't mean I'm going to root for the Utes to beat BYU.

The answer is obvious. Loyalty to, and support for your son takes precedence over any superficial support for an institution. Period.

Yep. Deal with it.

I deal with it fine. It's Ute fans who are apparently unaware that all fans whine and complain about their team.

Nice christian thought. You are a fine LDS representative. Classy.
I'll bet you were inspired to write your post while watching conference today - right?

Nah, while we did have conference on in the family room, I wait for the Ensign to come out with all the talks. My inspiration came solely from my eyes being assaulted by the presence of the lame Ute logo on a BYU forum.

That is absolutely correct.

Did Taysom and Jamal make that much difference?

Anyway, how many years are you prepared to give this coaching staff?
The answer to the 1 question is an emphatic "Yes." They carried the team. They were exceptional. They were elite college athletes.

The answer to the 2nd question is, the problems with BYU's performance is deeper than the coaching staff. BYU fans have a culture of whining and complaining, even when it's going pretty well. They were unhappy with Bronco, Doman (10-3, and 8-5) Anae (8-5, 8-5, and 9-4), etc. etc. Looking back, not so bad.

This is one of those stupid accusations Utes always make. Go on the Ute board when they're not winning, or even when they are winning - during or after a game - and you'll see loads of whining and complaining. Same as for every fan board.

It's like when Utes accuse Y fans of always booing any call that goes against them at the stadium. Nevermind that happens at every stadium by every fan base. Including up at that crap hole called Rice-Eccles. But somehow it's only bad or worth mentioning when Y fans do it.

8-5 is a winning record but it's debatable if that means things went "pretty well." Especially if its three 8-5 seasons in a row. 10-3 is a really good season but, sooner or later, fans want to see their team break through that 10 or 11 win ceiling.
