Congratulations Bronco on a well-deserved honor!

Doesn't much sound like he plans on retiring this year or next. Congrats coach!

kudos to KVN and Riley for making CBS Sports 2012-13 All-Bowl Team

LB: Kyle Van Noy, BYU: In what was probably the best defensive performance of the bowl season, Van Noy single-handedly won the Poinsettia Bowl for the Cougars. Van Noy had eight tackles, including five solo, 1.5 sacks, 3.5 tackles for a loss and scored two touchdowns. He recovered a fumble in the end zone and returned an interception 17 yards for a score as BYU beat San Diego State 23-6.

P: Riley Stephenson, BYU: There was a big reason why San Diego State had trouble moving the ball down the field in the Poinsettia Bowl, and it can thank the punter. Stephenson had eight punts, including six inside the 20 and three inside the 5-yard line. Stephenson had punts downed at the 5, 16, 1, 2, 9 and 1.

In the 35 bowls played, BYU was the only team that prevented their opponent from scoring a TD.

I thought BYU and Bronco were irrelevant on the national scene?

Cangrats to Bronco and BYU. I second the 'well-deserved' motion by 'skywalker'.

Congrats to Bronco and BYU. More good news for the Cougars.

"Along with Ouachita Baptist University head coach Todd Knight...."

I'd say this honor has nothing to do with relevance. This is a nice feather in the cap of Bronco and BYU though.

RE: Two For Flinching

Actually, Mendenhall has pretty good company on the board... but you'd have to actually read (and comprehend) the story to understand that. I can understand why you might have struggled with that.

FYI, the AFCA reported that "The 18-member head coaches are broken down as follows: One FBS head coach from each NCAA FBS conference; two head coaches from each of the AFCA's other divisions (FCS, Division II and Division III) and one head coach from the NAIA. The Board many name an at-large member at its discretion."

Being elected to the Executive Board of the American Football Coaches Association that formulates policy and provides direction for the 11,000 members from all levels of the profession is a great honor.

Of course, our little troll friend from the hill would understand that if he followed your advice and actually read and comprehended the article before spouting off.

Now hold on just a dadgum minute here. Are you saying you expect a troll from the hill to both read AND comprehend an article? At the same time?
