The dance routine itself is a highly choreographed and lively performance that incorporates various dance styles, including hip hop, pop, and breakdancing. The Mascot Dance is usually performed during breaks in the sporting events, halftime shows, or timeouts. It is a great way to entertain the crowd and boost morale.
The BYU Cougars’ mascot Cosmo showed off his moves in a surprise dance-off with Puddles the Oregon Duck at ESPN’s College Football Awards Show.
Look, I’m a big mascot guy. Love the energy, the laughs, the flips, dancing and other shenanigans.
I’m all about it.
So obviously I was thrilled to see Cosmo show up (with Puddles the Oregon Duck!) at ESPN’s College Football Awards Show.
The two mascots had themselves one heck of a dance off. But how did we get here you ask?
Well, Cosmo garnered national attention for his dance routine with BYU’s exceptional dance team, the Cougarettes. You can check out the routine in the video below.
For BYU Cougars fans, seeing Cosmo do something like this was nothing new – the large feline routine performs with the Cougarettes. However, it was certainly fun to see him get some well-deserved attention.
But not to be outdone, the rotund duck known as Puddles challenged Cosmo via Twitter a few weeks later. Check it out below.
Things died down after that – outside of some fans tweeting about the challenge.
But then, last week, things got real.
On ESPN’s College Football Awards Show, the Cougar and Duck met face to face (face to bill?) for a good, old fashioned dance off.
Granted, I’m biased, but I think Cosmo won this in a landslide. But you can check it out for yourself by checking out the video below.
While the dance-off was fun (and arguably the highlight of BYU football’s 2017), the big reveal after the segment was hilarious.
Rece Davis approaches the Duck backstage, looking for an interview as Cosmo watches on from the background. But the Duck head comes off, only to reveal 82-year-old Lee Corso!
Corso of course is known for his headgear selections on College Gameday, a long-running ESPN program.
Overall, it was every bit as lighthearted and fun as a mascot dance-off should be. Here’s hoping we have a new tradition brewing.

Reviews for "Getting in Sync: How the Brigham Young Mascot Dancers Perfect their Routines"
1. John Doe - ★☆☆☆☆
I was extremely disappointed by the performance of the Brigham Young mascot dance. The dancers seemed uncoordinated and the choreography was lackluster. I expected more energy and creativity from such a prestigious university. The choice of music was also questionable, as it did not match the theme or vibe of the performance. Overall, it was a forgettable and underwhelming experience.
2. Jane Smith - ★★☆☆☆
I attended the Brigham Young mascot dance with high expectations but left feeling let down. While the costumes were colorful and the dancers appeared enthusiastic, the performance lacked originality and excitement. It felt like a recycled routine with cliched moves. The production value was also subpar, with poor lighting and lack of visual effects. It's a shame as I was hoping for a memorable experience, but unfortunately, this was not the case.
3. Robert Johnson - ★☆☆☆☆
I regret attending the Brigham Young mascot dance performance. The entire routine seemed disjointed and poorly executed. It felt like the dancers were out of sync, and there were moments of awkward pauses and missteps. The choreography lacked creativity and failed to engage the audience. It was evident that little effort was put into planning and rehearsing this performance. I expected better from Brigham Young University, but this was a major disappointment.
