The blog was only published yesterday afternoon so I don't think that it has been discussed yet. The information is generally reguritated, except the practices only running for 1 1/2 hrs. That's a new one for me. If the team executes well enough to get all the work in that they need to in 1 1/2 hrs. that is impressive! Another great example of discipline and efficiency.

That ESPN Watson gal sure gives BYU more than a fair shake and that is a rarity for us. We should all send her an e-mail telling her thanks for the good coverage.

...if we don't win every game that's not going to be acceptable.

I just got the chills.

Nice article, I'll shoot of an email to her

Taken out of context.
He did say that any team can beat them and that he finds it interesting that to us, the fans, any loss will not be accepted even though they had 3 losing seasons just a short time ago.

Here is the quote, in total, and in context:

"The team is confident," Mendenhall said. "I think they sense that this could be a special year... I think our schedule is difficult enough and any team can beat us at any time. I think all that's changed now is the outside world's expectation that losing one game is too many now. Three years ago we had three straight losing years, so it's interesting in three short seasons that if we don't win every game that's not going to be acceptable."

Let's not quibble ... everyone knows he is pushing for a perfect season, the players know it, the fans know it, the media knows it. I'm excited for the season to start!
