The Return of the CougarCorner Podcast
This week features the triumphant return of the CougarCorner podcast. Yes, it has been a while since we last gathered together in the CougarCorner cave to share our thoughts and ideas on BYU sports, but we are back and we have a lot to talk about, literally.
This podcast features a discussion on the BYU hoopsters, talking about the loss to Utah last night, and the up and down season. Next, we turn our attention to the BYU Cougars football team and recap the regular season, and preview the bowl game. We also talk about how the end of season coaching changes are hitting close to home this year, and how they might affect the bowl game and BYU going forward in general.
Another thing that may affect BYU going forward is the recent conference expansion talk and rumors heating up. Everyone seems to have their sources, but the fact is no one knows anything yet. But we give our thoughts on the matter.
Finally we talk about Cougars in the Pros, and give out our Cougar Trails and Tails.
We hope you enjoy it.

Poinsettia Bowl and Season Recap
Cougar fans, we've seen the football season come to a close. The ups and downs are now mercifully/sadly over. What a ride it's been.
We have a lot to talk about about the Poinsettia Bowl, in which BYU's special teams and defense man-handled the hapless SDSU Aztecs. But not all was rosy for the Cougars either, with an ineffective offense.
We talk about Coaching changes that may be coming. We know for sure that one coaching change is sure to happen with Lance Reynolds announcing his retirement. Are more to come? Coach Mark Weber? Brandon Doman? Defensive coaches?
Not all is bad news though, we think back over the 2012 season and talk about some of the great plays we saw and some of the best moments. It's a great walk down memory lane.
Finally, there's a little talk about the basketball team because, hey, it's basketball season!
Enjoy the podcast, Cougar fans!

Cougar fans, it's time for another CougarCorner podcast! Rivalry week has arrived and all the hoopla that goes with it. We have a great rivalry week coverage for you, but before we get to that, we review the Cougars game against the Wildcats of Weber St.
The Cougars came out a little vanilla against the Wildcats, but no one can complain about the resounding win (45-13).

First we take a look at BYU's Media Day and dissect the news and information we learned from that. Did BYU mess up in not releasing scheduling news?

Welcome Cougar fans, it's the extremely popular CougarCorner Podcast.

A big part of whether we hit some of those bold predictions, either positive or negative, depends this year on senior QB, Riley Nelson. Since CougarCorner's own SpiffCoug invented the PER standard for BYU QBs (135), Spiff and Hawkwing discuss what the standard is now for senior QBs. Listen to find out what it is.
Next we review the upcoming season in general and give a quick overview of how we think the season might go. Are we talking 11-1 or 8-5?
