You are pathetic. If you are pissed off, thats fine. Then voice your opinion with words, not moronic sounds. Booing your home team is the lowest form of fan behavior. How about you keep your falcon fan behavior at the Georgia Dome where it belongs. You Bilbo chanters are almost as bad. If you want to whine about a player change, how bout chanting for some offensive linemen that hold their blocks long enough for a quarterback to find his secondary receivers. Some of you flute toters need to buy a book about football and read it.
 
I didn't boo but I certainly understand it. It's just the fans showing their frustration in the offenses inability to do anything. When we play a good defensive team (like F$U or UGA) we will not be able to run 50 times and pass for 26 attempts (with 11 completions). Yes, those are the actual stats from yesterday. This will be magnified more if Hollings is indeed lost for the season.

Let's get this straight - the players and coaches know when they're being ineffective. The amount of pressure they put on themselves is much greater than any pressure some "noises" from the crowd, in your words.

By the way, the "Bilbo, Bilbo,...." chant was started by the band (not by alumni or non-student fans). I sit about 20 yards from the band in section 101.

I choose not to boo or participate in negative cheers (like the Bilbo chant) but I'm not going to bash anyone that does. And if you do participate, it has no bearing on your knowledge of football. I remember when I was a kid in the 80's when I was going to games with my father - their weren't enough people in the stadium to cheer anything (positive or negative).

In general, I think the fans expectations of the team are no greater than the team's expectations of themselves. They know when they're not living up to the expectations - it's not like they're going to hear the boos and then realize "hey, I'm playing like crap". As long as you're not profane or personally attacking the student athletes, venting your frustration (in the form of booing) is OK.
 
"Here we go again", as Ronald Reagan would say. Booing has and always will be an integral part of the game. A person pays good money for their tickets to show their emotions to the game. It is their right to boo if they desire.

I have been a fan for many years, and seldom have I seen a player being booed for making mistakes and playing poorly. It was obvious, the fans were booing when the coach sent an innefective Suggs back into the game instead of Bilbo. It was also obvious the fans booed when other bad decisions were made by the coaches.

It was evident to me, the fans were booing the decisions of the coaches, and rightfully so. I would have booed some of their decisions had I been present. I did show my displeasure many times during the game, but the TV did not respond. However, the announcers did make some comments that tended to agree with the fans' displeasures.

The absolute best way to get the coaches attention is to boo or refuse to buy tickets to the games. The best way to voice approval is to cheer and buy tickets to the games. Booing is nothing more than fans showing their disapproval of coaches decisions.

The person trying to force his standards on the other person is the one at fault. If a person wants to pay for a ticket, he has bought the right to boo, if he so desires.

As I stated in other posts on the Hive, fans booed Bobby Dodd for kicking on third down many times. Dodd made reference to this in his book, "Dodd's Luck".

Much to my family's dismay, I too have my TV cowering at game time.
 
ahsoisee, the only problem I have with your comments on booing is the following. You said WTTE "they aren't booing Suggs, they are booing the coaches for playing him". So you tell me, what's the difference? The fact is they are booing Suggs. Someone posted a comment on one of the threads that they sit right behind the bench and that you should have seen the looks on the players faces when the booing started. I get frustrated and mad when we don't play well, but booing our players is always uncalled for in my mind.

I talked with Dorseys dad yesterday for about 30 minutes and he is a very enlighten man. He told me things about the team that you guys should have heard. I won't try to tell you all he said but the team really likes CG and they want to play for him. No I didn't boo but I sure did want to see Bilbo. I will never boo anybody good or bad who puts on the gold and white and I'm ashamed of all who did. Do you or anybody think AJ was playing poorly because he wanted to? No, he just may not be the QB we need with this team. So all you boo bird stay home and boo at the TV you are not really true Tech fans and I'm ashamed of you. I LOVE TECH and will support them win or lose.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Great post Oldfoggy... I dont care what anyone's perception is concerning college sports.. booing has no place in it... and just because the perception is that the game has changed etc... is just BS... these are college kids... many of them one year removed from HS... they shouldnt be subject to such behavior by adults....

Maybe the problem is that the adults have not been very good role models for a while... maybe this is the reason things "change"... but what hasnt changed is that these are still kids... amateur athletes... and they represent our school.. booing, in my opinion, is classless... I am ashamed of some of our fans...
 
Listen Dust Jacket,
If you are sick of people booing thats fine. If you haven't figured out yet there is a reason people are booing. Suggs can't pass worth a poo. Are whole offense was based on Hollings and our running game. Hollings woudn't be hurt if Suggs could passs the ball. Until Hollingss gets better Suggs better improve or we will have to rely on Ezweee the true freshman. Who I was imprested with.
 
I think that anyone that gives the AA a fancy gift just for the privilege of purchasing season tickets has every right to express their displeasure when the team plays so poorly. After having said that- Did I boo?, the answer is no. Did I feel like Booing? The answer is yes. Booing just happens not to be my style but it did not offend me when some did boo.Just think about one thing before going ballistic-would you rather have
afull house with some booing or a few thousand
indifferent fans that didn't care? I have seen both in my 56 years of supporting the jackets and I will tell you that I will take the stadium full
of intense yellow jacket fans that raise hell when our team plays several levels below their capabilities whether the fault lies with the coaches or players. This feel good massage will not cut it after a long and miserable day like at clemson followed by a subpar effort like yesterday. Another thing to think about is that we
didn't beat a good team yesterday. They are average at best.

You can tell the plays that AJ looks for second and third receivers easily. Those are the ones in which he winds up on the ground. We need better pass protection before you can expect a qb to run through more than 2 reads.

I hope you arent counting the interception that hit Glover in the hands.
 
I went to the game yesterday. I just watched the taped version this morning.

Suggs made more good throws than bad. That said, the line gave him much more time than I thought while watching the live action. He was sacked only twice and rushed a handful of times. I don't have the actual breakdown but if you look at Suggs on our scoring drives, he was efficient and made some nice throws. On the nonscoring drives, he was inefficient with some bad throws.

Of his 3 INTs, 2 were poorly thrown and the 3rd was tipped by Glover (I think) and should have been caught. There were other drops by receivers including an out by J. Smith that would have been a long TD had he caught it. The defender was going for the INT and ran right by him.

I can see what the coaches see in him. Once he and the receivers get on the same page, we'll all be happy that the coaches have stucke with him. With the entire stable of RBs injured (except Ace) we'll need an effective passing game.

All that said, Bilbo should get a few snaps in the event something happens to AJ. We all know that injuries can hit anyone on our team at any time. If the coaches don't feel comfortable with Bilbo running the team as a #1 or even in 2 QB system, then I don't. But he does need some big game experience before he gets thrown in the fire.

Dustjacket, jacketguy (and anyone else) - again, I don't boo our players. That DOES NOT make me any better a fan than the folks who do. If you feel you're a better fan because you hide your frustrations (or if you accept complacency), you're mistaken.

By the way, as a season ticket holder for the Falcons also - I do go to most of their games at the GA Dome. I don't boo them either although their poor play frustrates me moreso than poor play by the jackets.
 
For all of those that are too gentlemanly to respond to some of these ignorant and stupid posts, I will answer for them and myself. Don't you come up to me at a game and tell me not to boo, don't you even come close to threatening me, and mind your own business.

Plain and simple, if I come to a game and want to boo, I will do it. You cannot keep me from the game, and you had better not try. If you think you own the right to tell someone to boo or not to boo, I have less respect for you and and will recognize you less than I would BeeWare.

So, don't try to force any of your silly whims on me in person. As BeeWare would say, you have become a maggot for telling someone else they are a maggot. You are worse than the person that you are calling names, just because they boo decisions.

The board is for opinions. If you want to get personal and start bashing posters on the board, including me, then expect to receive harsh retorts for your ignorant posts.

All posts are good and ideas and opinions are good, but someone's hairbrained idea to force others to do as he would like them to do is way out of line.

I will add one other item for BeeStorm and GTFan. I made this same statement to the Hive Slave Master. This is the one time when posters should be banned from the board, that is when they threaten other posters. You may even be liable for some of the abuse it you allow it.

Calling GT fans Maggots and other names, because they exercise their option of disapproval of a coach's decision, is very childish, immature, and completely unwarranted. Threatening others by name calling can be a serious offense and can get the person in a lot of legal and physical altercations.

How rediculous for someone to tell a 50+ year fan of GT to stay away from the game if you are going to exercise the option of booing. I think you need to grow up.

There are only two reasons one should not boo: 1) it hurts the kids and their families having to endure the humiliation 2) recruits- we had at least one 4-star LB in the stands Saturday.... I wonder what he thinks of playing here now? Boo if you take pleasure in humiliating young men and their families and by all means boo if you want to keep blue-chippers from signing here. For me, I will try to live up to the classy reputation I always thought Tech fans prided themselves.
 
Yes, Suggs knows the fans are not satisfied with his performance when the fans chant for Bilbo or boo the coach for not making a substitute. However, that is the nature of the game, and each person had better get used to it. You cannot shield people from real life and that is part of real life.

People show their displeasure as well as their approval. No coach or player wants to hear the boos of dissatisfaction, however, it will definitely make both groups tend to try harder, so as to avoid the boos and gain the approvals. It is a part of life and has to be learned.

Anyhow, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. A person has the right to boo by the ticket he has purchased. If you try to be abusive to that person, he can go to the security forces and have you thrown out of the stadium. However, on the other hand, the security personnel would laugh at you, if you tried to have a person thrown out of the game for booing.

It is better for Tech to have fans that support Tech and its athletics and boos when they are unhappy with the results, rather than the fans staying away from the stadium and not buying the tickets. Without the sale of tickets, there will be no football team.

Another point, is most coaches and teams can become complacent in losing, if they think the fans don't care anyway. The fan that boos and wants better results may be the better fan and may be helping the team more than the fan that sits on his hands and says or does nothing.

Hate to break it to some of you, but college football has long ago stopped being only a game for, and of, 20 year olds. Its Big Business. Its cut-throat. People get burned by it, and others are idolized because of it. Most everyone knows this going in. It's definately not for sissys. Suggs is a big boy. He's already heard the boos of 100,000 rabid Tenn. fans, a few hundred Tech fans probably doesn't faze him a bit.
.
Right or wrong, booing is part of the modern game, yes...even at Tech. It is going to happen when a coaching staff continues to put players in bad situations and fails continually to make needed adjustments. Booing will continue, and you jock-sniffers who don't like it will just have to grin and bear it. I'll take a sold out stadium full of pissed-off fans over 30,000 gentlemen any day.
.
This coaching staff has the signs of MAJOR problems. I think we all have better things to be worried about than stadium manners.

BOO
 
Look I know people boo and that will continue. I also understand that players need to develop tough skins if they are going to get past it. My only point is that people need to get over their "I'm booing the coach not the player" crap. If you want to boo go ahead. Just know that it sounds bad on TV and it sounds bad to recruits. We think it's hilarious when Ugag fans make asses of themselves, but we don't like to look in that mirror.
