Sun Devil Fans Sound Off on Social Media Following Loss at BYU

Defeat is never a fun feeling, especially as a fan.

When you're a die-hard follower like many within the Arizona State fan base are, you feel as if you're part of the program. Many supporters of ASU have either attended the school or simply grew up with Sparky murals throughout their home.

Either way, you feel as if you're a part of the team thanks to the close connections afforded by college football. So after a road loss to BYU on Saturday night, it's natural for fans and followers of Arizona State to discuss what went wrong against the Cougars on social media.

Needless to say, Arizona State's efforts weren't exactly applauded, especially when it comes to penalties.

If I’m a player on that team, I’m thoroughly embarrassed at how we played. I’m tired of blaming coaching. Players have to show up. They did not.

Some fans have even gone to drastic lengths to prove how disappointed they were.

While it is sweet to be a Lumberjacks fan at the moment after their defeat of Arizona, the Sun Devils look to move forward and onto conference play. Hopefully a win to start the Pac-12 schedule will clear the air.

Someone ask Herm if it still feels like the same air. https://t.co/NiwPRNMlmM

Honestly might be one of most frustrating games I’ve ever watched as ASU football fan….not being over dramatic but feel like we were so far superior…discipline and mistake after mistake lead to a loss to a team we could have pounded…that said everything still in front of us

I cannot believe I thought BYU was a bad football team. We're the frauds.
