Comments about ‘Bronco, Kyle take hot seat for good cause’

I didn't think I'd ever see Bronco wearing a hat of a BCS champion.

Guess I was wrong.

Bronco didn't sing the Utah Man words. I love it that Bronco chooses not to compete and then when he loses, he refuses to keep his end of the bargain.

Classy.

What do you mean that he chooses not to compete? By loading his team with pro golfers? What was the original deal--to bring your current players or bring the best golfers you can find? I'd like to know the details. And I can't see this man not competing. Seems to me that bringing non-golfers is a bigger attempt to compete. Personally, I don't care who won. I think it's just great that these coaches are smart enough to know that it isn't all about football.

I'm a Ute fan, and I'd say Mendenhall showed a LOT of class. He broke the tradition of using pros on his team and brought some football players instead(which I think is how it should be in the future).

Besides, since the vast majority of Utah fans, myself included, don't have the Utah fight song memorized, I don't think we can blame Bronco for not knowing the words. Kudos to both coaches for participating- clearly they have a better perspective on what really matters than many of us fans.

Anyone who thinks hatred is an acceptable or a necessary part in this rivalry is sorely mistaken.

sounds like a violation to me. :) Good to see both coaches out in the community for a good cause.

Bronco showed a lot of class!!!!

The man agreed to sing if he lost.

He lost and refused to sing.

That's not class. The words were provided to him and he chose not to sing.

It's all for charity and in good fun, but if you agree to sing, then sing.

Rah, Rah, Rah! Utah and alittle Byu. There I sang for him. Satisfied now Howard? Rah, Rah, Rah, for charity! Way to go Whittingham and Mendanhall!

And Jonny Harline is STILL open!!!

(And thanks for the BSC check. Are you going to whine about that, too?)

you have obviously missed the spirit of the event. I played for Coach Mac from 92 - 94. His personality was his trademark, as is Bronco's. Mac would ham it up, because he was the center of the attention. Bronco prefers not to be. Both great men, both willing to help in a cause. For those of you that are going to berate a coach with class for not singing, GET A LIFE! Bronco does things the right way. What other coach would get more while sticking to the honor code down south? Those in the profession have the utmost respect for him. It's the "fans" that really need a reality check.

Oh, and I am a Utah Man Sir! Ki-yai!

I watched the news clip of the singing and Bronco definately tried to sing. The same old crap from yewts, well most yewts. Couple of ute posterd were classy. By the way, a yewt hat is not the hat of a BCS champion, a second place that will be remembered only by yewt fans. Winners on the field but loser fans.

This was a dumb article - just like Ute fans. P.S. Coach Mac was and is a bafoon.

Agreed! Sugar Bowl Champions? Yes. Bc$ champions? NO! National Champions? Never! Whether 25 years ago or yesterday, BYU still has something Utah NEVER WILL HAVE! Go Cougs!!!

This is an event for charity! They're trying to get a few laughs. They're not taking the golf side that serious. Hence, he has 3 football players playing with him, not pros.
Take off the Red blinders JUST for a minute, and appreciate what both these coaches are doing.
Believe it or not, there are some things more important than a college football rivalry. I know, it's hard to believe, but its actually true.
Saying he's not classy when golfing for charity is ridiculous.

I am BYU fan that takes exception to the comment about Mac. He is class act. I've only met him once but that was enough to know he is genuine and great to have in our community. I think anything these coaches do for our community should be welcomed.

Coach Bronco Mendenhall is so very humble.
He's so humble he tells everyone how humble he is.

Remember-

Kruger is still open!!! Oh and that happened last year, not 3 years ago! I love byu fans right now, they are so jealous they cant even live with themselves.

At least Bronco finally got to put on a hat of a team who has been to the BCS.

And sing their fight sing.

And take a chunk of their BCS winnings.

Bronco is a true thinker. He knows he can't beat Utah at anything, so he brings along his players to have an excuse when he losses. Makes him look like a great guy, when in reality he just didn't want to try and compete against the Utes. At least his golf squad got closer than his football team did to beating the Utes.

One thing Bronco forgot to mention is that the Burgers and Milkshakes would be provided by Mr. Harline as he is now managing an Iceberg drive in..Yep, he is stil WIIIDE open!
