Some of the best games and competitions in Cougar sports history will also be broadcast each day on Facebook. Look for notes and nuggets about the players and teams involved in the competitions throughout the broadcasts. Games and competitions will be streamed on the corresponding team Facebook account.
Friday, May 15, is 'Rep the Y' day for which fans are encouraged to rep the Y by wearing their BYU gear at home. Fans can also order Cougar Tails from BYU Dining Services and pick them up on Friday at LaVell Edwards Stadium. For more details, visit cougartails.byu.edu.
