The Strange CURSE of BYU Football

[@tylerahlstrom4553]

Wow! Great observations. I didn’t realize how much better BYU is at night. “Vampire cougs!” I like it.

[@tazplatyrl]

I always subconsciously knew my cough played very different at night lol. I guess it’s stat backed too

[@sammyjacobs8554]

Wow, this deserves a lot more views. Great editing, entertaining writing, and professional looking video. Great job all around! What a fun watch

[@westonware14]

Thanks bro!!

[@rickfrost8981]

Hey Weston, Rick Frost here. Knew your dad back Elk Ridge. We live here in Gilbert now. Just saying hello. Nice video. My own theory is that every time I start to watch a BYU game - it goes south for BYU.

[@spencerbrady2425]

Then from a BYU fan, don’t watch!! Lol

[@boxliquormac_12]

As a Ute, I can’t wait for November 9th. The Holy War is always special, but even more so when both teams are good and there’s conference title implications on the line. It’s going to feel like Mountain West days again. Hope the Cougs can take care of the Cats next week so our road to the to the title gets easier - nothing looks better than a blowout win against a ranked rival 😏

[@joeshmoe5704]

Coug fan here. I completely agree

[@boxliquormac_12]

@@joeshmoe5704 the cougs are looking good, especially the defense. Sitake has them in good shape. A team with a chip on their shoulder and a great coach is nothing but trouble, especially in a rivalry game. As much as I hate the team down South, I love to see Sitake succeed, especially when all the pundits predicted a 13th place finish for you guys. Nothing but respect, I’m hoping the Utes and the Cougs run this pillow-soft conference just like we did 20 years ago

[@AndrewSmith-qg6ii]

Love the perspective and appreciate the respectful comments. Best of luck to the Utes the rest of the way. November 9th is looking like a Holy War for the ages.

Your gonna get your ass kicked

@@chezgreen223We’ll see.

[@CalvinBarrett-ly9xt]

Hey, awesome video man. It was a great watch.

[@paulluebke8692]

I guess Iowa State’s experience in Provo at night was the exception to the rule-lol.

[@westonware14]

I memory holed that one 😂

[@Teancum44]

He did show that the Cougars record at night was 24-3; hence, the loss to Iowa State was accounted for. 😂

[@michaeldinsdale9709]

Yes, BYU players were slipping all over the field otherwise it would have been a closer game.

[@bigprovos12]

Yeah that one isnt quite like the others… 😂

[@romebigred2]

BYU keeps us guessing, that's for sure!

[@tylergregory5254]

Last byu punt return was 2012 against TCU (JD Faslev) so idk if 12 years is “almost 20 years.” But great vid, go cougs!

[@houstonwilcock4879]

Love BYU football, and was at this game! 5:20. It was so amazing. Great video! earned a sub

[@madisonpsorensen]

Can’t wait for October 12th!!

[@jadebarben8537]

I hope our game against Utah this year is an 8 o clock game

[@seanbrower4701]

No we don't bro. It's in salt lake City this year and Utah does pretty good at night as well. Just ask USC. Arizona kind of broke there night streak at rice eccles

[@seanbrower4701]

It's been a long time since we beat Utah in salt lake City. Since 2006 to be exact. So 18 years

[@jebroiroij2176]

Being here now at 8-0 and watching BYU continuing to be led into the promised land by the BYJew after 40 years of curses, championship drought, and missed opportunities, is one of the coolest stretches of BYU football I have ever been alive to see, here’s hoping it continues at least another day

[@schristiansen3151]

It's simple. Cougars prowl at night to make their kills.

[@thejorgerojas]

Literally the rest of the season is determined by this Arizona game. 2 PM local. Fox Big Noon Kickoff in town. Ranked #14. I really hope the Vampire Cougs curse ended at Baylor.

[@TJ-ie9qo]

Exactly.

[@thejorgerojas]

Wow it really did end

[@wholesomejm]

Killer vid man!

[@jacechan9445]

Captivating! Great story teller!

[@benjeeb.]

The game vs Oklahoma State on Fridays follows your theory

[@matthewkundis5642]

Oh my absolute merrrcy, get me on this and make it a random podcast episode we need to talk. I another that goes right with it!

[@isaakphillips8555]

I remember watching that night Baylor game and the announcer shouted out he moon like 7 times and we would burst out laughing every time. The camera man kept zooming in on the moon like he was hypnotized

[@svn5510]

Imo you tend to get higher quality teams during prime time day slots. Harder teams increase chance for loss.

[@jordanjenkins1671]

I wonder if the "vampire Cougs" is because of playing homes games vs teams from central/Eastern time zones? Maybe we take advantage of our elevation and their minds/bodies being 1-2 hours more tired than our team?

[@CaydenChristensen]

Best BYU vid I've seen in awhile

[@Jonathan_Lewis]

Cougars are nocturnal

[@TSSJukingMonkey]

I love to see a BYU video

[@maryannstout7600]

That was a fun watch. Thanks.

[@tbarron1631]

I hope the game at Utah is at night

[@jamason_blair]

Kept the dream alive winning that daytime game against Arizona!

[@justinslack50]

That was quite enjoyable. Thanks!

[@robertberardy405]

OK State win at night... The legend grows.

[@TJ-ie9qo]

7:08 Oh hey, I was at that game! Never jynxing the kicker with a selfie again.

[@azkid4430]

Cougs won another day game last weekend against UCF. The curse is dead and buried with a stake in its heart. 8-0 baby!

[@maneokelly]

Funniest part was “mighty utes”

[@clmilkshake]

Here after BYU won during the day against Arizona

[@curtissimmons7386]

They are number 9 now. The curse of being in the top 10 means they will loose in two weeks to Utah!

[@davidferris8782]

Well done video

[@jacobcorbridge4906]

I’m worried we used up all our juju on Baylor

[@dwarfgiant12]

if not, the rest was 100% used up against OK state

[@RyanPeterson524]

Neeeeeed that hat. Need

[@westonware14]

I got it off culture kings website awhile back!

[@MarkSmith1234-m8j]

10:06 We won that game

[@simongifford935]

Sadly they did dog on Arizona in the day time haha

[@tannerplummer1996]

Strange time to post this video considering the Cougs just won a day game

[@spencersmalley8624]

He talks about that haha

[@spencersmalley8624]

Go birds btw

[@evanmeador6931]

Lol who here after Fridays night game? 😅

[@Spida_Chapplliinn]

Very Superstitious stuff

[@AndrewArnold-o3w]

Go cogars❤❤❤❤❤ yeahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RealityLazar]

8-0 baby

[@gumshoe2273]

Huh. Wierd.

[@Literally_An_F-18]

YEAHHH BYU WON ARIZONAAAAS

[@Perykvaal]

Let's just hope they never geta star quarterback named "Edward." That'd take the "freaky" to a whole new level.

[@JoshuaLauritzen]

there nice intel they bump into Utah

[@jjbardsley]

bro don't know how to spell.

[@spencersmalley8624]

Says the guy that spelled "Serouse” 😂 go cougs 🤙🏼

[@kurtgreaser8439]

Kind of weird that a mormon school would do better at night then duringt the day

[@lukeslc-xd8ds]

Let's be honest, Utah sucks. There, se lo dije.

[@JoshuaLauritzen]

Just got harassed for being a Utah fan on BYU fan chat

[@seanbrower4701]

That'll happen. We get kind of emotional about our cougs. And there are always Utes in our message boards harassing us. So get a little angry when we see Utes 😂

[@Odawg021]

also it was your fault to bring it up you can just not say anything but as a cocky utah fan you always need to ruin everything byu related

[@YakubibnEsau]

No kidding?

[@TommyCrackers]

Cool video. I can't stand BYU. Bunch of babies.

[@houstonwilcock4879]

dang bro shut up

Why, tommy, why so bitter, pal?????

invalid on so many degrees

[@houstonwilcock4879]

@@lukeslc-xd8ds legit

[@friedrice0]

That’s to be determined

[@JoshuaLauritzen]

The only reason Utah didn't win was because we had a terrible quarterback that lost us against your team and a sucken Mountain west team. But then we got are good quarter back Cam Rising and beat 9-1 Oregon to later become conference champs.

[@jjbardsley]

uh-huh totally, did you see my sarcasm?

[@seanbrower4701]

And now cam rising is hurting the Utes. Go figure

[@Odawg021]

cam on his 7th year and is hurt again take your excuses and leave

[@DaranTibbetts10721]

Ain't what he used to be anymore. I missed that last Utah game. There saying that it was pretty bad. I guess I can't argue, cause I didn't see it and I never will. No sense in tuning in for a good laugh. I feel bad for the OC though. I think he was pushed out, to be honest. It's all handled with politics.

[@jjbardsley]

First of all, "FOOTBALL GODS!?!" are YOU SEROUSE?? second of all, I do not get how they are the "vampire cougs?"

[@Brutici]

people call them vampire cougs because they have a much better win percentage in night games than in day games, and vampires burn in the sun

[@nuggetoftruth865]

The “football gods” line was just a storytelling device, not meant to be taken seriously. Just showing how seemingly strange their stats are. And the “vampire cougs” line is because they play poorly during the day and far better once the sun goes down. Like vampires, they only come out at night.
