- On October 15th, 1953, Cosmo the Cougar made his first appearance in front of BYU fans, flying into LaVell Edwards Stadium on a parachute. More than 70 years later, Cosmo has shown no signs of slowing down as he continues to wow crowds with his show-stopping stunts and acrobatics. One of Cosmoโs most viral stunts was in 2020, when he was thrown from the 3-point line by five men, catching a basketball in mid-air and dunking it. ESPN posted a video of the stunt on Facebook, and it received more than 4.6 million views. For another viral stunt, Cosmo did push-ups on five tables stacked on top of each other at a basketball game in 2022. When he reached the top of the stack, he did a big push-up jump in the air and finished with a front dive off the tables to a mat. During the 2023 football season, Cosmo performed textbook push-ups atop vertically stacked dumbbells as a large tractor tire was placed on his back. He completed five push-ups with ease, highlighting BYUโs victory over Southern Utah. Thereโs a reason Cosmo is known as the most athletic mascot in all college sports!
- “Weโre excited to unveil this unique BYU Push-Up Counter Bobblehead featuring Cosmo in conjunction with the start of the 2024 college football season,โ National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. โThis bobblehead will be the perfect way for BYU fans to follow along as the Cougars put points on the scoreboard each week for many seasons to come and a great way for fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school pride all year long!โ
