Passing the baton

The wait is over. Saturday, the Cougars kick off fall camp and the famine of BYU football information will officially end. Yes, we still have to wait a few weeks for a real game, but that wait is more manageable with daily BYU info filling the Web.
For most of this summer, The CougarZone has been the most updated BYU blog in the Internet. But with fall camp beginning, it's time to take a back seat. For your daily camp fix, I recommend Greg Wrubell's Cougar Tracks.
While Greg's Daily Download is a thing of the past, his blog with feature camp reports and audio from his daily interviews.
Your next best bet in Jay Drew's Salt Lake Tribune blog. Of the three major papers covering the Cougs, Jay has put the Trib in front this summer with the number of blog entries. The Deseret News and Daily Herald, of course, are great sources as well, with the Herald providing the most regular print coverage.
We now know where BYU will begin the regular season in one of the polls that counts. With a No. 17 spot, the Cougars are in a great position to reach the Top 12 in the BCS standings, even with an early loss.
But here's to perfection.
Once the season gets going, The CougarZone wants to deliver what you most want to see/hear. Last fall, we offered the weekly Fully Invested audio show, a 10-15 minute program including sound bites from Bronco Mendenhall's media luncheon and commentary on the previous game and the coming one.
If you'd like to see it again, just vote in our poll. If you'd rather see something else, let us know.
The time is not far distant. Thanks for reading this summer. Check back often and enjoy fall camp.

While I don't need a 'daily camp fix' from you or anyone else, I'd just like to say for what it's worth that I've really enjoyed reading your blog and hope to continue getting insights from you as the season progresses.

See you at the Fiesta Bowl!
