A time to celebrate a little? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

First, the Cougars have their first winning season since 2001. I will never take a winning season for granted ever again, since I have seen the darkness now. I will be thankful for every single season now.

Second, it is our first time in the top 25 (#25 in the AP, which of course does not count for the BCS, but you know it is published now) since that same season.

I will say that it feels a lot better this time around than it did when it was automatic. I guess deprivation makes one more grateful for the good times.

Go Cougars. No let downs.

Go Cougars. No let downs.

One more victory clinches a share of the conference championship.

Two more victories clinch the championship outright.

Three more brings a victory over Utah.

Four more seals the best season BYU has had in five years, and arguably ten years.

Not to overlook each milestone we pass, but there's some bigger fish to fry.

I am all for frying more fish. But I think a short celebration was justified. But a couple of hours was enough.

Before the season I would never have imagined that I would say this, but I would be dissapointed if we did not do all of the things that were listed. Conference championship, undefeated conference season, and victory over Utah, and being ranked. Amazing how a little success breeds expectations.

I hope byu clocks the utes in the final game, not to mention the cocky wyoming team.

They hype their mediocre teams more than anyone else in the conference
