Default Spring Game most likely canceled?

"There's a great chance — a great chance — that the spring game won't be held, period. I'm a traditionalist and LaVell Edwards Stadium is where the spring game ought to be," Mendenhall said. "With the field under construction, I haven't quite come to terms with the idea of playing it elsewhere. Most likely, that won't change and we might end up starting to work on our first opponent the first week of practice, knowing the stadium won't be available. Most likely, we won't hold the game."

BYU sport is not providing the same warm fuzzy feeling it once did in the eighties, our decade of champions. In fact, since that time, it's been decades of frustration.

Couldn't the spring game be held at Provo or Timpview High School?

I can't imagine a coach not wanting to give fans a taste of what the team is going to be for next season.

Unfortunately, our coach seems to have a distaste for fans.

I think Bronco, at some level, has disdain for his job, the fans, and the entire enterprise of college football.

In other words, he is too wise of a soul to be wasting his time with this.

Bronco is not passionate about the game of football, and it shows in the product he produces, unmotivated, ill-prepared and lack of focus. The players come into bowl games without their focus and are ill-prepared. If a passionate, qualified replacement existed, now would be the time.

Socrates: be excellent in all things, even cleaning the toilet. In other words, Mendenhall is just mediocre. He should quit cashing his paychecks and go do something else.
