Nickname
Cougars - Are you a fan of BYU Cougars? Have you ever wondered where the nickname came from and what it means? The origins of the BYU Cougars are rooted in history, but they have become an iconic symbol for fans worldwide.

The name "Cougar" was first used to describe Brigham Young University's teams in 1922 when athletic director George E. Cobabe wanted to create a nickname representing strength and courage. He chose cougar because it embodied those qualities perfectly; he liked how it sounded! 1924 Cobabe adopted "Cougars" as BYU's official mascot and team name.

Since then, there has been some debate about whether this accurately represents cougars since they typically live in mountainous regions, whereas Provo (where Brigham Young University is located) isn't exactly known for its mountains! Many still associate this animal with strength and power - characteristics that fit perfectly into any sports team’s identity. Moreover, over time “BYU Cougarnation” has become synonymous with loyalty to their school, making them even more beloved by students & alumni alike!

In addition to being associated with strength & courage on-the-field performance-wise, off-the-field too – BYUs mascot also serves as a reminder of respectability within college athletics programs across NCAA divisions I through III (as well as nondivisional members). This includes following rules regarding eligibility requirements, such as academic standards set forth by governing bodies like National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Thus making sure all student-athletes who compete under their banner maintain high levels of integrity both academically & athletically throughout their collegiate career at BYU – something all true fans should be proud of supporting!

History of the Cougars

For sports fans, there is no better team to root for than the BYU Cougars, especially when they face off against rivals like the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Cougars have a long and storied history in NCAA athletics, dating back to 1922 when they joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). Since then, they have become one of college sports’ most successful teams, with numerous conference championships and bowl appearances.

The most extraordinary moment in BYU history was December 21st, 1984 when their football team won the national championship against Michigan at Holiday Bowl Stadium in San Diego. Led by quarterback Robbie Bosco and wide receiver Mark Bellini, this victory marked a significant milestone for Brigham Young University and all of college football, as it was just the fourth time a school from outside one of the significant conferences had won a title game since 1936.

Since then, BYU has continued its success with multiple conference titles across various sports, including basketball, where Jimmer Fredette led them to three consecutive MWC tournament championships between 2008-2010; baseball, where they earned six WCC regular season titles between 1999-2015; volleyball which saw them win two WCC Tournament Championships during that same period; soccer which included four straight MWC regular season crowns from 2011-2014 plus many other accolades along the way.

In addition to these accomplishments on the field/court/mat etc., what makes being part of Cougar Nation so special is how much spirit students bring each day, whether it be through tailgating before games or cheering loudly during match-ups regardless of a home or away – something truly unique about this program compared others around country! So next time you’re looking for team support for your favorite sport, consider rooting those amazing athletes out in Provo - Go Cougs!!
