Mendenhall: Cougars may have been left out of Pac-10 because of religion
July 28th, 2010 @ 3:12pm
By Becky Bruce
LAS VEGAS -- Is it the Sunday games, the academics or something else? The man at the helm of the BYU football program suggests the thing keeping the Cougars out of another conference might be religion.

Coach Bronco Mendenhall didn't single out the Pac-10, while saying Utah's move to that conference completely shakes up the in-state rivalry.

"BYU isn't any other place. There are some conferences that, quite frankly, don't want a faith-based institution," Mendenhall said.

It's not the first time someone has suggested the Pac-10 snubbed BYU over religion. A columnist on BleacherReport.com made the point even before the Utes' move was official.

Still, Mendenhall says don't expect the Y to change.

"We're very clear on who we are, what we represent and how we're going to play -- and [we] don't measure ourselves against anyone else."

While I find the religion excuse to be over-used and lame, you have to love the bolded line. It sucks that the Rivalry is losing its fire power, but I will always hate you Utah Flamers with the burning passion of eight million suns.
 
Damn, that almost brings a tear to my eye, the spirit is so sweet. They don't measure themselves against anyone else? How awesome they must be.

Typical hater response. I don't like you sucking around my threads, bothering our posters, Gregory. I don't like your jerkoff name. I don't like your jerkioff face. I don't like your jerkoff behavior, and I don't like you, jerkoff. Do I make myself clear?
 
Sorry to interrupt, but I guess the silver lining to the rivalry is we can now just hate each other. No more cheering for the other team to win because it will make the MWC look better. Maybe that extra little bit of hate will boost the rivalry? Has there ever been a poll on Jazzfanz to see the % of Ute fans vs. Cougar fans? Just curious.
 
Wait. People, other than Jazzgal, actually root for the other team, "for the good of the conference"?

Deron don't play dat, eh, Blood? He says he absolutely HATED every team in the Big 10 when he was in college. When he tells K-Y "Iowa Sucks" he knows whereof he speaks, ya know?
 
Damn. I was all excited when I read the title.

I say kudos to BM (tee hee) for not playing into the hype. BYU does have a unique program and identity in college football.

Wait, this gets you excited as a cougar fan???

It's simple... BYU has an agenda that forces it not to put football or any other sport first. Why would you accept a team that could possibly hold up everyone else in the conference, especially since goin in they'd be one of the bottom feeders.

Probably waiting for the girls to leave.

This is one of the greatest pictures ever on the internets. I love the posters, the lustful looks from the chubby chick on the floor, Willy Aames' pornstache, and especially the Budweiser stein on the table. You just know that was Steve's room. Some bear over the rainbow. Case closed.
