History of the Cosmos
Deep in the heart of LaVell Edwards Stadium, a metal door creaks and a thin line of light widens into a bright rectangle on the gray concrete. The shape remains only for an instant, as it is filled, bottom to top, with a familiar feline outline. Then the door slams behind a blur of fur hurtling into the midst of a few football fans. It’s Cosmo, stealthily leaping from his lair, somehow striking a mid-air spread-eagle pose for an instant, then landing with a thump near a surprised toddler, eliciting an awe-filled scream and a few tears. Cosmo pauses, shrugs apologetically, then runs toward the south end zone and the roar of the crowd.
Surprising, humorous, or inspiring, Cosmo’s big entrances have always been a part of his mascot repertoire. But today there is no parachute drop, fire truck, limousine, or helicopter. Cosmo keeps it simple, hoisting the B flag (the Y and U follow close behind) and leading the football team from a dark portal onto the sunlit stadium turf.
Cosmo made his first appearance at a football pep rally as the Cougars prepared to compete for the Old Wagon Wheel with the Utah State Agricultural School Farmers. The Brigham Young Universe on Oct. 15, 1953, reported on the mascot’s campus debut: “Zooming down from outer space onto the Brigham Young University campus, comes the newest member of the Y yell team—COSMO, the Cougar.”
The paper explained that “Cosmo is a member of the student body dressed in a suit, resembling a Cougar” and clarified his role, “He will do acrobatics, lead yells, climb goal posts, or anything else his Cougar spirit bids him.”

Cosmo was imagined and named by the late H. Dwayne Stevenson (BA ’57), head of pep activities at the time. “The name Cosmo—he plucked that out of the sky,” says Stevenson’s then-roommate, B. Udell Winkler (’56). “He thought of it being kind of far out, kind of beyond our reach, something special.”
Indeed, Cosmo has become a special part of the BYU community. If you ask last year’s mascot if there’s anything cooler than Cosmo, Stephen C. Jones (Cosmo 2008–10) says, “No. Nothing. Jimmer’s close, but he’s a close second. If you think about it, all of the athletes will come and go, but Cosmo’s still there.” But then Jones pauses to ponder. “Hmm. Maybe I wouldn’t put Jimmer second . . . I think Jimmer’s tied. Yeah, he just tied it up.”
Once, while Andrew C. Syndergaard (Cosmo 2005–09) visited with some basketball fans at the Marriott Center, a large group of kids came over to him all at once. When he looked over to see the source, he realized Santa Claus was there in another section. “How cool is it when you’re loved so much that kids leave Santa to come say hi to you?” he says.

Doing “anything . . . his Cougar spirit bids him,” Cosmo has remained true blue for nearly six decades. But, over time that simple guiding principle has been expanded, using wisdom gained from decades of Cougar-and-fan interactions. Today, a longer list of dos and don’ts guides the mascot day-to-day; this article shares and illuminates a variety of excerpts from Cosmo’s Code of Conduct.
“Cosmo should be a representation, as far as athletics is concerned, of sportsmanship, fan interaction, and just being friendly,” says David J. Eberhard, BYU athletics marketing coordinator. “Sports are a metaphor for life; they’re not life. They’re there for us to learn from. So hopefully Cosmo will lead by example.”
Today Cosmo has become an enduring, vibrant symbol of athletic prowess and sportsmanship. Back in the stadium, football fans looking down from the uppermost seats of the stadium catch a glimpse of BYU’s mascot—far away enough he might be considered a “micro-Cosmo.”
Perched on his blue wooden platform in the south end zone, Cosmo crouches down on all fours, extends his right arm, right leg, and head—skillfully mirroring the pose of the bronze cougar at the stadium entrance. A moment, frozen in time, captures a mascot with staying power.

Reviews for "Dreamlike Landscapes: Uncovering the Enchanting Yards of Kisskmme FL's Magic Village"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Magic Village Yards Kissimmee. The overall cleanliness of the place was lacking, and the rooms were outdated and uncomfortable. The customer service was also subpar, with staff members being unhelpful and unfriendly. Additionally, the amenities promised on their website were not as advertised. I would not recommend staying here if you are looking for a pleasant and enjoyable vacation in Kissimmee.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for Magic Village Yards Kissimmee, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The location was great, but that's about the only positive aspect of my stay. The apartment was not properly cleaned, and there were maintenance issues that were not addressed during my stay. The pool area was crowded and not well-maintained, and it was difficult to find a spot to relax. Overall, I found the experience to be quite underwhelming and would not choose to stay here again.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars - I was quite disappointed with my stay at Magic Village Yards Kissimmee. The accommodations were not as luxurious as they appeared in the photos online. The furniture and appliances in the room were outdated and worn out. The overall cleanliness of the property could also be improved. The staff was not very helpful or accommodating, and the noise level in the evening was quite high, making it difficult to get a peaceful night's sleep. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place for a pleasant vacation experience.
