Booing injured players

Watched the game on ESPN2 online and heard booing at least a couple times when injured Utah State players were leaving the field. Back when I was going to games regularly (early 00s) the entire stadium clapped whenever an injured player left the field regardless of the team. Anyone else notice this? Was it the student section?
 
It was very frustrating, as fans, to see a USU player "hurt" after every single explosive play the cowboys had. Especially in the second half. Every time the Cowboys would take a hold of some momentum there would be an injured Aggie. They'd roll around and put on a show and then get up and walk to the sideline only return the next play. That is either the biggest group of pussies I've ever seen or they understand "extra timeouts".

The only player to go down to injury and actually miss more than a play was the starting QB who never returned.

I certainly don't condone booing injuries but last night enough was enough. Either clean it up USU or get a better strength and conditioning program.
 
Didn't we use to chant "he's down, he's down, he's all fucked up"?

I'm pretty old school about that stuff. Since you just never know what a kid is going through on the field, I stick with the polite applause when somebody gets up from an injury. If I think something fishy is going on, I just stay silent.
 
I was at the game, there were more that clapped for them when heading to the sideline than booed

I didn't notice any booing from where we were sitting. I also thought it was getting pretty old that a player was going down after every big play. Some howdy doody type stuff going on.

Their coach is classless. I'm convinced they were faking on almost all of them. How many times? 10+? That's just ridiculous. They deserved to be booed for that.
 
Considering how many players they've had injured enough to miss games this season already, I'd rather lean toward bad conditioning coach than call them cheaters.

Their runningback and QB both went out for the rest of the game too, as did one of their corners who got Allen-wrenched.

Either way, booing makes us look worse than them.
 
Yeah, pretty classless. I mean, I'd understand if it was against BYU or CSU, but booing and flipping off the Aggies just seems... like we're trying too hard.
 
I wasn't at the game, but I have a feeling the booing was more for the officials condoning the tactics of the USU coaching staff to take Wyoming out of our momentum and rest their players. Looked an awful lot like Howdy Doody's tactics to me.
 
I was at the game. THE only time I heard booing was when the refs screwed Allen on his spot after he took out USUs CB. It was pure coincidence. Too many people are conflating booing the terrible officiating crew with the constant USU injuries.

I was there as well, and the officiating was horrendous. Really quite dreadful. I heard more clapping for injuries as the players walked off - probably about 100 times.

"He's up, he's up, he's still fucked up"

it was quiet with this chant to that aspect on Saturday, the real reason they were booing etc is it seemed they were getting extra time like Mr. Howdy Doody was doing as well, but I guess being from N Utah they just don't make football players the same way....the officiating this year has been dreadful, make the call and stop relying on the damn replay system so much.

I'm happy to know it was for the officiating, but that's sure not what it sounded like on TV.

That's the problem with making judgement calls based on what you see on TV. You only see what the camera shows you not the whole environment.
