Holly Mendenhall gets asked almost monthly about wearing red to the press conference seven years ago when her husband, Bronco, was named BYUs head football coach.

Nobody would have thought a thing about it if Bronco hadnt pointed it out when he spoke that day, Holly says.

He retorts with a crooked smile, I was just saying what everyone in the room was thinking.

But Holly insists she should have been able to wear red to that December event and any other time she chooses, with perhaps the exception of the week BYU plays the University of Utah.

I love healthy rivalries, but the BYU-Utah one is over the top, she says.

Although she still has red in her closet from their time at the University of New Mexico, Holly doesnt buy red clothes for herself or her three sons Cutter (12), Breaker (10) and Raeder (8).

But that makes me mad at myself for letting other people dictate my choices, Holly says. Red is a great color, but other people make ridiculous comments.

Thank you for helping make Holly's life a little bit harder. Please stop making ridiculous comments and trying to dictate her choices.
