We’re going to need to make a lot more Cougar Tails.

BYU won’t be the big dog. You have to be on top to be that. The cougs will

Unfortunately alcohol and sex is what college is all about for many.

BYU is a perfect fit for the Big12 IMO

BaylorBear

It's really a shame TCU has walked back their Christian roots
