How I became a fan of the BYU Cougars…

With this unprecedented downtime in sports, I thought I would switch up my blog a bit and do a narrative post on how I became a fan of the BYU Cougars. As you read this post, I would love to hear your stories, so feel free to comment and share.

My story began when I was very young. I remember going to games with my dad, at these games, my main objective was to get a Cougar dog and spend time with my pops. The games were secondary. My parents being the righteous people they are, taught me to love the Cougs, and to always cheer for them. So I followed blindly until I was about 7 or 8.

Around this time, a football player named John Beck joined the BYU football program. This player could do it all. He could hit every receiver, he could make every throw, and most importantly; he knew how to win. John Beck to this day is still considered one of the greatest QB’s to ever play at BYU.

John Beck made the sport exciting. I couldn’t wait until Game time! My life began to be consumed by BYU, and it was finally my choice to do so. Everyday I would wake up, go to school, and come back home and play football. When I played, I was always “John Beck”. My friends and I would practice the best plays from the week before, and we would love every bit of it.

This was the beginning of becoming the greatest BYU fan of all time. My life will be forever changed because of John Beck. Even after his college days were over, I found myself finding out all the inside information concerning the Cougars. I wanted to be the first to know, and I found the tools to be able to do so. Even to this day, my schedule revolves around loving the Cougars.

I don’t think my story is unique. I think that every great sports fan has a story on why they are who they are today. Even with all the different stories out there, one thing remains a constant… and that is the love of the team. As top fans, it is our duty to share our story, and also help others to build their own stories. There can never be too many fans. In fact, I think that most of us can agree that our team doesn’t have enough true fans as it is.

I want to hear your story. Its time to share fellow Cougars. Comment below, and also share your story on your social media page. It’s time to make the world a little more blue.
