Cougars from the past back for a reunion
The BYU Cougars begin official basketball practice tonight. Before they hit the hardwood, however, coach Dave Rose is meeting with more than 60 former players and coaches who accepted an invitation to participate in a basketball reunion, which I think is going to become an annual tradition. After tonight’s practice there will be a reunion dinner at the Marriott, and then a golf tournament on Saturday.
Here’s a list of the alumni who RSVPed. How many of these names do you recognize? Some played in the 30s and 40s.
