97.1 The Ticket -- Cosmo the Cougar is doing big things.
Last week, he set social media on fire with his three-point dunk when a group of cheerleaders launched him through the air, he caught it and threw it down.

We spent a week seeing that video all over the internet. 

Then on Saturday, in the biggest game of the year for BYU, Cosmo came pretty close to topping that stunt.

He shined bright on the big stage (with the help of some incredibly strong and well-balanced acrobats) and pulled off a trampoline front-flip dunk over a guy doing a handstand -- on another guy's hands.

It may not be quite as crazy as the three-point dunk, but this has to be in the Hall of Fame of Mascot Stunts.

The Cougars went on to knock off No. 2 Gonzaga to show they're for real, and all but lock up an NCAA Tournament berth.
