I won't lose any sleep over it. Guys like EPU and ute4ever can worry about their new brother, now. Ki-yi!
You folks keep thinking you can pawn him off on us Ute fans, but he chose on his own to leave the Utes - and it wasn't for football reasons.

No, he's yours now. Forever and ever.

What I find inexcusable is the lack of emotion and energy when playing for a BCS bowl bid against a top 25 team. If you're ok with that. Fine. I am not. But then when football is either 4th or 5th in priority, then you will have those types of games.

RES is no place to take your young son.......even when playing the likes of Oregon State. The Utah fans have driven another Ute to Cougar Town.

BTW........do you take your kids to the Utah games at RES?

BYU is doing very well if your aspirations is to be excellent amongst mediocrity.

I can think of one or two great wins over the last 3 years. TCU and Oregon in the Vegas Bowl. The Utah wins were big because we beat Utah. However, we were big favorites in the games and pulled them out, so I wouldn't call them big wins.

Bronco is doing what he is asked to do. BYU is an elite program in the MWC and has shown some good consistency.

To those of you who constantly throw out the record and then boo hoo someone who would like more, you have your aspirations and others have their's. It isn't a right or wrong issue.

Thanks, Bronco. Off the heels of getting crushed by TCU and hanging in to defeat UNLV at home in a season we had BCS hopes, you get up in our face and tell us you're too stubborn to recruit the way we need you to. Thanks for that.
I have yet to see evidence that Bronco's recruiting approach is yielding lesser players than could have been landed with a different approach.

For those of you who want more do you genuinely believe this program is capable of doing better than it has under Mendenhall? How close would you evaluate him to having the program potential pegged?
