BYU Football wouldn’t be as successful and be where they currently are without Bronco Mendenhall.

From what I’ve seen from BYU Football fans, there doesn’t seem to be very much fire behind this smoke debate of whether or not fans should cheer or boo Bronco Mendenhall and his staff when they take the field on Saturday.

Either I’m not following the right people (or in this case the wrong people), or this is a baseless debate because from what I’ve seen, it is almost a unanimous opinion that Bronco will be welcomed back to Lavell’s House with open arms and cheers.

Because of that, the focus of this article will focus more on the accomplishments and success stories of Bronco, as it seems most, if not all of us are remembering him in a positive light.
