Cowboy Kohl’s Career
Cowboy Kohl is known and loved at Boise State as being the Kickoff Tee Fetching Dog for their home football games – and he’s pretty excellent at what he does. This will be his fourth year working with the BSU Bronco’s, and there doesn’t seem to be another career this pup could love more! His job may look easy to some, but it’s much harder than it looks. Under all of the distractions and noise, thousands of fans make, Kohl is able to stay focused on his sole task: retrieving the tee after a team punts the football. Officials usually handle this job but BSU has been leaving it up to intelligent canines since the early ’90s.
