Ryker Mathews to BYU!!

I don't know any 18-year-olds that are worried enough about their girlish figures to drink Diet Coke.

The media is confirming the committment now. Hurray. Time for a Blue Bash party ot what ever they call the event tomorrow.

Craig, your counting your chicks before they hatch. He is still considering Utah and BYU and far from commiting to BYU. Your facebook source is unrealible at best, sorry to burst your bubble but he is going to be a UTE.

Wow, to be a Ute is dumb enough, but to deny what a kid has said himself is downright delusional! What a moron! :lol:

Reign, you really think that statement is helpful? I actually have mildly enjoyed some of your posts, it would be a shame to lose you because you couldnt keep yourself in check. Isnt going to matter soon. Your angst over BYU's rising potential to "knock-off" your Huskies is going to reveal your short term desire to troll here, increase your unwanted smack, and send you off incredulously and dissappointedly to whomever your second game trolling happens to be--either because you get the MOD squad to cut you off (no pun intended) or you lose the game and leave for good.

Go ahead and follow BYU31, he's leading the way. Youre next, i'm afraid. Get control of yourselves.

I thought Reign's comment was funny. He should have added Caffeine Free Diet Coke for a nice touch. And seriously, for most kids in the world today, it rings true. BYU is looking for a different type of athlete and commitment, and that is the truth of the matter. Kids who want a college frat experience are not looking at BYU. End of discussion. I have no problem getting made fun of for it either. We Mormons are lilywhite to many outsiders. I like that too.

I bugged by the continued misconception that caffeine is against the honor code and that kids can't drink coke if they want. If anyone took the time to do their homework, they'd know that it's a ridiculous assertion.

LOL the funny thing Purple is that WHEN WA follows suit to all the liberals in California, YOU won't be able to get any pop on your public campus. In a few years it will be easier to get a maui wowie brownie than it will be to get a diet coke! Meanwhile we will still be enjoying a nice cold coke or pepsi at the cougareat or at the game room, or at the bowling ally, or at the football game, or at the bball game you get the drift.

No joke. Anytime I hang out with people that aren't mormon, I make it a point to order something with loads of caffeine, just so I can get the question, "Aren't you guys not supposed to drink caffeine?" And I'll say, No of course we can drink caffeine. "Oh, some of your mormon friends said that you can't." And I say, "Well tell them that they don't understand their own religion. We don't drink coffee and tea NOT because of the caffeine, we don't drink it because we are told not to. One ounce of pure chocolate has approximately the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. If it were all about caffeine, we we wouldn't be able to eat chocolate either. Some people are just stupid, and don't know their own religion, and therefore, don't know themselves. And vice versa."



Sorry for the tangent. I will now hang my head in shame. :whistle:

It's just a problem of assumption. People see that we don't drink coffee and tea and think that we can't drink anything caffeinated. Some members choose not to drink caffeine and when it comes up they simply say "I don't drink caffeine," and so on. It's just irritating.

Our O-Line is going to be incredible for years to come. What QB, RB wouldn't want to come to the Y knowing he has got great pass protection and beef on the hoof to open up holes and pave the way to the zone. This is going to reverberate well with all potential recruits.

Who? Any recruit that likes the comforts of women, diet coke, and a good party (99% of young men in other words!). BYU's honor code will turn off a lot of non-highly religious prospects.

Well maybe those like jake heaps who chose byu over uw or many of the other recruits who have done so. Uw and byu are consistently recruiting against each other. don't kid yourself. 99 percent of recruits are not adulterating drunks. Some of them still have standards. I don't expect you to understand.

I do not drink it, but used to. But I don't now for medical reasons. I have a kidney disease and caffeine is horrible for me that way. I was just referring to the fact that all coke products at LES are caffeine free. So makes that reference funnier to me is all.



My wife was raised that caffeine is a WoW violation, though. Still believes it. Points to the fact BYU campus does not sell any products with it to back her claim. I think that is more about perception though, but why back a false perception if you don't want it out there?

When Pres Hinckley went on larry king or 60 Min or something the interviewer said, "is it true your church members do not consume alcohol, tobacco, cafienated beverages, coffee, tea or harmful drugs?" and President Hinckley said Yes. I don't think President Hinckley meant to include Pepsi and Coke and all caff-sodas in his answer, but everything else in the question was true so he answered Yes, make sense? This is the debate where I'm from anyway. Some argue one way and some the other but the W.O.W. does not mention it and no modern day prophet ever has either rather than what I referenced above. There is absolutely no problem with Purple Reign's comment so he should not be threatened with CC termination but rather, all posters on here need to stop posting things as if everyone lives in the utah idaho footprint. Purple's response is absolutely true, the large majority would not want to come to BYU at all regardless of who is blocking for them.



And I say these things....because I want to.



And to take my own advice, W.O.W. meaning the The LDS Church's health code, if you will. :)

Not that caffeine is good for you, I just hate the constant misconceptions of which this is one.

When a person at work asked me if Mormons can't drink caffeine, I whip out some chocolate and start eating it and then remind the person that chocolate has caffeine in it.

Not all of us have that Hershey's bar in our pockets at all times, but whatever works for you I guess.

For real? I think my posts have been really tame and don't even remotely approach "trolling". What about all the Udub smack you guys post here yourself, or is it a one way street here?

our house, our rules... no pac 10 refs in this joint (or in Provo in 3 weeks)

Well, I will never be an obnoxious troll by any means, but a little give and take seems pretty civil and standard in the world of sports fans. If I get banned, so be it, but in the mean time I look forward to more discussions leading up to the season opener :crazy:

dmcougar has offended more posters than you in the last two days with his self righteous rants don't worry purple reign, we are not all like that. Your comments are appreciated by most. dmcougar found a hershey bar in his trousers but not the kind you can eat if you know what I mean.
