Rise and Shout...

The Hoo-Hahs are out! (Note. "Hoo-hah" is what "Cougar" sounds like shouted from the crowd when heard on the field of Lavell Edwards Stadium while holding a musical instrument and arrayed in fine marching band apparel. Thanks for the story, Monique.)

The Cougars may have already skinned the Oregon State Beavers in their post-season Las Vegas bowl game but we'd still like to share our memories of a very great BYU football season.

1. Opening the season with an extraordinary win against No. 3 Oklahoma. Big thanks goes to Colby Clawson for tackling Sam Bradford in such a sound manner.

2. Attending the traditional Homecoming Pancake Breakfast and Parade, accompanied by Grant and Jill Ensign and Tim, Aubrey, and Maya Chaves.
The traditional waiting line for blue pancakes.

Traditional blue pancakes made complete by traditional blue milk (like in Star Wars).

3. Having high hopes when playing outstanding teams like Florida State and Texas Christian at home. (I won't mention that we devastatingly lost to both teams...)

4. Having Craig (and sometimes Jaclyn) join us at all the home games. Those long walks up 300 East to campus and from campus to the stadium were always memorable.

5. The BYU vs. Utah game. After they beat us and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last year, we were ready for a big win. And to have the Cougars storm out in the original Cougar blue (in fashion after the 1984 National Champions, 25 years ago) helped the crowd go NUTS!
