Mountain West Conference since 1938
Colors: Dark blue, white
Mascot: Cougar
Shocking but true: not only do they claim a national championship, it was even a consensus one. In 1984 against Miami. They’re a pretty good program. Unfortunately, not so much at the beginning of this century. And the first time they brought a live mascot to the field (in the ‘20’s), it escaped and killed a bunch of livestock. Whoops. But don’t count them out completely. There’s Y Mountain, a flocking point for students during Homecoming. They’ve got a fierce rivalry with Utah, referred to instate as the “Holy War”, and the Beehive Boot is given to the instate school with the best record. The Wagon Wheel, a salute to the pioneering heritage of the schools, is given to the winner of the Utah State game. Their dance team is dominant in national competition. They schedule decent out of conference teams, and they have a built in fan base with the Mormons. Not only that, the fans travel well. Who knew?
