Eye On The Y: Rejoice! After a bye this week, BYU gets a rare home afternoon game next week against Northern Illinois

Remember when former BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall was interrupted by an elderly gentleman during a speech at a booster gathering a few years ago? The fan stopped Mendenhall in mid-sentenced to remind him that BYU home football games were no longer played in the afternoons anymore.

He was mostly right, which is why the humorous interaction got plenty of air-time play.

I’ve been told that particular fan has passed away, but I had to smile anyway when it was announced Monday that the Oct. 27 game against Northern Illinois at LaVell Edwards Stadium will kick off at 1:30 p.
