Garden Girl Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Today I was Watching "The Five" on Fox and they have a segment where they go around the table and each gives a brief item of interest... imagine my surprise when Juan Williams posted a video of Cosmo dancing with the BYU Cougarettes. He said how he liked Cosmo's incredible moves... but then also included pictures of Cosmo being launched 21 feet in the air to slam dunk a basketball... the other panelists oohhed and aahhed (Cosmo really was incredible). It was fun to see Cosmo get such recognition... This year's men's Volleyball and Basketball teams have been incredible... GG Edited February 10, 2020 by Garden Girl 2

They named their baby son Cougar! She was a BYU cheerleader as well, that's how they met.

(I am probably hypersensitive when it comes to names, hopefully they don't tease like they used to with unusual ones because of the wider variety there appears to be now.)

It's the first time I've seen it, and I've sub'd taught in dozens of schools throughout the years. 2 hours ago, Calm said: Did he have a middle name he could use if he wanted?

I don't know, I'll have to ask my sis-in-law. There are so many names out there, that anything goes. Recently saw that Jessica Simpson named her daughter, Maxwell. Oh well...but she'll probably have trouble all of her life correcting people. But same with Jordan and other neutral names out there. Little Cougar will get to say, "my dad was Cosmo, the mascot for BYU cougars!", lol. ETA: Just checked a family photo book that the same sister in law put together for my in-laws, because she is amazing like that. She had all of the individual families listed. Her daughter who married Cosmo the mascot, and their son is actually named Brent "Cougar" *****. So Cougar is his middle name, so that's good I guess. I've heard them call him Cougar though, so we'll see if it sticks. Edited February 11, 2020 by Tacenda
Jeanne Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Loving this!!! Saw the same thing GG saw and thought how cool! Ute fan that can hug a cougar!! And by the way, I think it is a cute first name Tacenda! 1
Garden Girl Posted February 15, 2020 Author Posted February 15, 2020 UPDATE... As a BYU sports fan, I've been interested in the professional careers of former BYU Cougars... Imagine my delight tonight to be able to watch NFL football... the 49ers vs the New Orleans Saints... with Fred Warner on the Niners, making great plays and the announcers praising his efforts and referring to his time at BYU... then there's the Saints with Taysom Hill also making similar plays, even playing quarterback part of the time, along with his other position... and again his BYU years/record being cited. So I've enjoyed this game.... 35 - 33 Niners so far. 4th Quarter... GG 1
