Yfanatico
What really is the deal with yfanatico? I missed a lot of the drama on that. I had some boardmails with yfanatico a couple years ago. He (they) told me some stuff in confidence that I wouldn't repeat because a) it was told to me in confidence and b) I have no way to verify if it was true, but it was interesting.

I also think Harmon took some serious journalistic privilege with the crap he claimed yfanatico said/did. Harmon's motherlike love and protection of Beck is still obvious. All things considered I stand with those in just letting that dark period go. Crowton is what he is and he is just not a strong leader.

Harmon is related to the Beck family somehow. yfanatico is/was a cancer. I had hoped that the yfanatico players had graduated but apparently they're still around. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they are fully invested. I know that some people don't think unity is important but a team must at least be unified in it's desire to win, even if they don't like each other on a personal level.
Why Statman is defending yfanatico is as mysterious and asinine as most of his posts. I couldn't tell if he is a friend of yfanatico or he just hates Dick Harmon with every fiber of his being. I also don't know why Harmon would bring this up right now. It is completely counter-productive. Most fans know that there was a lot of garbage going on. I don't personally recall any personal insults from yfanatico to Beck but I do think that they made it clear that they were Matt Berry fans. Reminding John Beck and BYU fans that players were turning on players is not what we want to remember right now. Beat the Furry!!! |

Harmon brings it up because he feels cougarboard gossip gives him insider status in the eyes of the public.

Just read this post from yfanatico today
http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=2268807 This is all a big mess. Three comments. 1. Crowton made some mistakes but yfanatico showed poor character in taking that stuff public, and it makes he/they make me less of a Berry fan for it and actually makes me want to sympathize with Crowton more. 2. MHO, is that yfanatico got into a pscyhological war with certain CB'ers and much of the drama was more about that than their problems with Beck and Crowton. They exagerrated not only Crowton's bumblings but also their own sabotage. 3. Harmon and Wendell Beck and BYU-13 and CB'ers that violently supported them have as much responsibility for JB's unpopularity on CB than JB's poor play his first few years. Fans don't like it when people come in that are more a fan of a player than the team and start arguing and defending their guy. |

Indy, what do you think about the timing of Harmon's having written this? I think he's being a bit petty and could have at least waited until after we paste Utah and win a bowl game before putting his pettiness on display and risking ANY negative effects on this team.
