    I still would see that as way too restrictive. You cannot have a beer, shot, or a glass of wine with a meal? Unless you buy your own draft system, you are going to have any beers on draft. You cannot go to Publik and get a nitro cold brew. The coffee you get a really good coffee shop is better than anything you are going to brew at home as well.

    If you want to put absurd restrictions on people you have no religious basis for the restrictions, you are going to have to compensate them for it. BYU is not very good at compensating people for submitting to their bizarre regulations.

      Yes! I do.

      The absurdity of the honor code has to be the most bizarre thing about BYU, which I consider to be an ultimately bizarre place. "You can drink coffee if you come here, just as long as it is hush-hush!" Huzzah for progress!

        A good rule of thumb is to gauge mpfunk's level of outrage and then dial it back by about 60-70%. That will give you the general public's perception of the issue.

          Psshaw. You know that is not the official policy.

            I am 99% sure that is not an official policy. Just thought it was an interesting anecdote. Sorry to trigger you and funk.

              Good coach. Great human being.

              SUU was really sad when Lamb left, but a lot of that sting has gone since his successor (Demario Warren) just won a conference championship & earned a first-round bye in the FCS playoffs.

              I already checked for you guys. Pretty sure Demario isn't LDS.

                Is he willing to restrict his coffee and alcohol intake to the privacy of his own home?

                  Yeah, time to put that trope to bed. Being a stable older QB that knows the offense and can help explain it to the starter is a world away from setting a game plan, calling plays and overseeing a scheme.

                    Pretty sure the official policy says it’s OK to have coffee in your car while driving to work also but under no circumstance can you bring it to your desk. Think of the children! Wouldn’t want them exposed to that.

                      That would kill over on LA Ute’s board.

                        Sorry. Good point. Nothing weird about coffee police.

                          Yes! Mormons are weird. Surprised you didn’t know that.

                                The official story is that Detmer is relieved of duties, and the new OC(whoever that will be) will pick the new staff.
