In good football seasons and difficult ones, Brigham Young University former students and fans flock to Provo from all parts of the state of Utah and beyond to support the home team and to celebrate what it means to be a Cougar.  LaVell Edwards Stadium comes alive on game days when more than 64,000 passionate fans pack a venue where camaraderie is coveted, sportsmanship is stressed, booing is discouraged and respect is revered.  BYU is a place unlike any other in college football, and what it means to be a Cougar can be as difficult to define as it is to duplicate.

What It Means to be a Cougar: LaVell Edwards, Bronco Mendenall and BYU's Greatest Players by Duff Tittle explores the phenomenon of being a BYU Cougar. One person or phrase cannot answer that question because so many different emotions encompass the Cougar spirit.

Legendary coach LaVell Edwards indeed knows what being a BYU Cougar is all about, leading the school to the 1984 national championship and later having the stadium named after him on campus. Other great Brigham Young players and coaches from the 1920s to present day were also called upon to express why they are so proud to be a part of the storied tradition that is Cougar football and provide fans an inside look on their college careers, including:


  • Steve Young
  • Jim McMahon
  • Ty Detmer
  • Glen Kozlowski
  • Austin Collie
  • Chris Hoke

What It Means to be an Cougar brings together their stories, as told by the most outstanding voices of the BYU program and guaranteed to enhance your passion for Cougars football. It's not just one tradition, one season or one particular game - it's the stories coming from the players who made the magic happen over the decades that capture the true essence of playing in Provo.
