Suspender-Clad Utah Bro Heckles BYU Coach, Confronted By BYU Coach, Walks Away From BYU Coach

What you see below is a near-inevitable byproduct of field-storming. There’s a sea of revelers looking to let loose, they’re in a relatively small space, they’re jumping/running/dancing around, and a lot of them have a fair number of drinks in them, even hours after tailgating. The euphoria combined with the in-some-cases drunkenness means people might be a lot more in-your-face than usual, and say some things they might normally not say to people they’d usually leave alone.

People like, say, the coach of the vanquished team, who’s just trying to leave the field safely amid the gleeful gaggle. On Saturday, that was Bronco Mendenhall, coach of just-beaten BYU, as Utah faithful poured onto the field (multiple times). But one Utah supporter just wouldn’t let Mendenhall go quietly… so Mendenhall fixed his steely gaze in his direction, and it was pretty much over:

Honestly, we’re not sure what UtahBro was expecting there. You just messed with a guy named Bronco Mendenhall. On the list of major college football coaches you don’t start shit with based on name alone, Mendenhall is way up there. In fact, the list would look something like this:

Major college football coaches you wouldn’t pick a fight with, based on name

1) Jerry Kill
2) Jerry Kill
3) Jerry Kill
4) Jerry Kill
5) Bronco Mendenhall

Addendum:

Major college football coaches you wouldn’t pick a fight with based on name alone, but might reconsider if you looked at them

1) Jerry Kill

Conversely…

Major college football coaches maybe you would pick a fight with based on name

1) Dabo Swinney
2) Jimbo Fisher
3) Pete Lembo

And a few more while we’re at it…

Major college football coaches you would never, EVER pick a fight with under any circumstances because he would break you in half with little to no effort OH GOD PLEASE DON’T HURT ME

1) Mario Cristobal
2) Mario Cristobal
3) Mario Cristobal
4) Mario Cristobal
5) Mario Cristobal

Major college football coaches you wouldn’t pick a fight with because who the hell knows what they would do

1) Les Miles
2) Dana Holgorsen
3) John L. Smith

Major college football coaches you could pick a fight with and they’d probably just calmly stand there and do nothing about it, being the bigger men

1) Jim Grobe
2) David Shaw
3) Dave Clawson

Anyway. Point is, this guy foolishly messed with Bronco Mendenhall, who projects a pretty strong “don’t mess with me” vibe even before taking into account that he’s named “Bronco” (and yes, “Bronco” is a part of his real, given name). How dumb is it to provoke a Bronco? Let’s ask a well-known horse expert:
