Monson: Bronco (sort of) happy to have a rivalry game (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall leaves the field at half time. Brigham Young University Cougars lead 17-7 after the first half during their matchup against Utah State University Aggies Friday, October 4, 2013 in Logan. When a college football coach utters a quote that condescendingly pats one rival on the head just days before the game while simultaneously ripping the other bigger rival, it’s glittering gold. Like this: “Well, considering only one in-state team will play us this year, it’s a huge game. It’s probably the featured game in state. It means a lot. These two teams honor tradition. This particular game matters a lot to both teams.” God bless Bronco Mendenhall, the gilded gift that keeps on giving. Let’s fill in the blanks to further illustrate what Mendenhall was saying there: “Well [harrumph, I’m already put out and turned off by this entire thing], considering only one in-state team [Utah State] will [has the guts to] play us this year, it’s a huge game [it’s not really all that huge, but it’s made that, in a limited sort of way, because it’s all we’ve got since those chicken Utes won’t play us [...] newsintx/monson-bronco-sort-of-happy-to-have-a-rivalry-game/
