Dear Abby,
It's been pointed out that CU fans should not be booing the team. The players can't tell if the boos are directed at them or at the coaches. Booing might have the effect of scaring off recruits and upseting fans, or so I've been told.
What about laughter?
I'm ashamed to admit that I was laughing during the Toledo masacre. Seeing the once proud Buffs reduced to the role a whooping boy to a mediocre MAC team was too much. My response to last Friday's tragicomedy was frustration diguised as amusement. I was a guest of TBD and was supressing my desire to boo and break things at his bar or in his home. Had I been in the Glass Bowl stadium, I probably would have been laughing there, too. The laughter came to an abrupt stop, though, when Cody nearly got his head torn off on the meaningless last minute rushing TD, at which point nausea set in.
Watching an inept game of CU football as a farce was liberating when the alternative is to be crass.
I suspect that laughing is as offensive as booing. If the quality of play against Wyoming is the same or worse as what we saw against CSU and Toledo, is laughter okay, or should laughter be supressed, too? No player wants to be the target of laughter.
What is the best way to supress my desire to boo or cuss or laugh or throw up or otherwise cope with the possible disappointment that I might confront over the next 4 games?
Signed,
Emotionally confused CU fan
