PROVO, UT — In a move that lit up LaVell Edwards Stadium and had Cougar Nation roaring from the Wasatch to the world, a BYU football legend has donated two stunning luxury buses to the BYU Cougars football program, declaring that it’s time the team travels with the same class and fire they bring to the field.
The donor? Keeping it modest, as Cougars do. But the gift? Anything but modest.
> “We don’t just represent a school. We represent a faith, a culture, a mission,” the legend said. “And now, we’ll represent it in motion — in style.”
Introducing: The Cougar Cruisers
The two buses — wrapped in crisp Cougar blue and white, gleaming with a custom chrome stretch of the Wasatch Front skyline — rolled onto campus to the sound of the BYU Fight Song and the cheers of stunned players.
These aren’t just buses. They’re traveling temples of BYU tradition:
BYU-blue leather seating embroidered with the “Y” logo and player numbers
Mission-inspired quotes etched into the overheads (“Enter to learn, go forth to serve”)
Onboard gospel playlist, film rooms, and post-practice recovery tech
VR headset bays for mental prep and spiritual reflection
A display inside each bus showing Cougar greats — from Steve Young to Ty Detmer — cycling on loop
Nicknamed by the team: “The Honor Wagon” and “Spirit of the Y”
Coach Sitake: “This Is Who We Are”
Head coach Kalani Sitake was visibly emotional:
> “This is more than a donation. It’s a reminder of what we stand for — faith, family, football, and brotherhood. These buses will carry our team, but also our purpose.”
Cougar Nation’s Reaction
Social media lit up from Utah to alumni networks worldwide:
> “Cougar Nation stays elite. Buses for the boys? Let’s GOOOO.”
“Imagine pulling up to Utah or Baylor in the Honor Wagon? We’re winning before kickoff.”
“BYU just became the classiest road team in college football.”
Senior quarterback Kedon Slovis called it “the cleanest ride I’ve ever seen,” while freshman linebacker Ainuu Latu added, “My mission van didn’t have massage chairs — this is wild.”
Faith. Family. First Class.
From the blue-lit interiors to the BYU crest on the custom wheel rims, the entire design reflects what makes Provo’s powerhouse program special — a standard of spiritual, physical, and mental excellence.
> “I wanted every young man to remember that no matter where we go — we roll together, with honor,” the donor added.
With a packed 2025 season ahead and national eyes on the Cougars in the Big 12, one thing is for sure:
BYU won’t just be showing up this fall they’ll be pulling up in first-class, mission-ready style.
