I feel bad for UVA fans


Take this for what it is worth coming from an ex-mormon who happens to still be a BYU fan. Some of you will dismiss this, some of you will hope that I am wrong. But all of you will over time realize the unfortunate truth....

So I am one of many BYU fans who hated Bronco Mendenhall. By the end of his tenure at BYU even with the 99 wins the only small base of support he had left was mostly from religous zealots who view the head coach of BYU football as some kind of "calling" and authority to not question.

Trust me all of the things that are "cute" or "motivational" or "quirky" right now will turn into items of red hot hate for most you in short time.

Yes - he doesn't prepare for individual opponents but rather believes in simply focusing on his teams "execution".

Yes - he calls time outs like water at the most head scratching moments.

Yes - he punts when the time and score dictates going for it on 4th down. He was famously booed in his very first game in Provo when he punted down 2 scores at midfield with less than 8 min to go in the game. 10 years later he would still bring that fact up in a way to take jabs at BYU fans who weren't smart enough to appreciate him and his brilliance.

Yes - he will talk of things that sound great like "execution" and "statistic and business intelligence driven" focusing in camp and practice and then his team will go out and commit 4 turnovers at home against an FCS opponent.

I have friends in Virginia and for your sake I hope I am wrong - but I would be lying if I didn't admit how much happiness it brought me today to realize that Bronco is no longer ruining my favorite football team.
