The Cougars take Salt Lake
Since 2003, the Cougar basketball team has traveled up to Salt Lake for at least one game per season, like it did this past week. But why does this tradition exist? For one week per year at the Marriott Center, the ballers are out and the dancers are in as Christmas Around the World takes over. But instead of losing a week of the season, the basketball teams borrow the Jazz’s court.

Killer keeper
In the women’s soccer NCAA tournament, a goalie literally has the game in her hands. Her ability to block a penalty kick can make or break a team’s post season. As the tournament goes on and the competition gets tougher, it becomes more and more likely that what the game will come down to is a penalty kick shoot out, and the ability of the Cougars' goalie, Erica Owens, to protect the goal.

Freezing football
Fall is out and it looks like it will be a snowy Senior day at the Lavell Edwards Stadium tomorrow. The cold weather doesn’t change the fundamentals of football, but there’s no doubt that it does have an effect on the game.

Basketball is back
It was Cougar against Cougar when basketball season tipped off this week. Blue took on white, to give fans a sneak peek of what to expect as the season gets going. Each team had an even mix of experienced players and rookies. Sophomore Tyler Haws is back from his mission and led the blue Cougars to an 80-74 victory over the white team.

Black is in
Tomorrow for homecoming, fans and players alike will be wearing black, and they are excited about it. Some words used to describe this blackout are fun, tight, different, and totally awesome. It’s not the color the cougars are used to wearing, but they aren’t blue about going black.

Quarterback Shuffle
Riley Nelson’s ailing back meant that Taysom Hill got the start last week against Hawaii. But will the freshman get the call against the Aggies tonight? Hill says that he will.

Front Row Fanatics
Every Thursday before a home football game, cougar fans have the chance to compete for some seriously good seats. Games like throwing a ball accurately, fishing a penny out of a block of ice, and live angry birds are played to determine who gets to be up close and personal with the BYU athletes.

Freshmen Footwork

Volleyball Victims
If you’re a BYU volleyball fan that chooses to sit on the baseline at a game, then you might want to wear a hard hat. Jake Schoof told us, 'It's kinda like going to Sea World, you sit in the splash zone and you know you're gonna get wet... So you sit behind the players, you know it's dangerous, you know you could get hit.
