It’s gonna take the National Guard to take this team outta the playoffs. If the committee wants to steal it from us we’ll just take it on Saturday! #coachstays #ProvoDave

High level culture AND high level football.
Why would anyone not choose BYU.Theres so much to say about Coach Sitake. First a story about our daughter meeting him. He’s treated them with love every time since, as seen in this video.

The hero in this is Kalani and Santiago’s 20 year+ relationship. This doesn’t happen without those two being able to sit down through the noisiest of environments to come together on a vision for the future and what they can do together. Relationships matter. #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/K4oN15q7ak
