I don't see any positives in it. I guess, sure, BYU Idaho is there but aren't most of those people BYU fans anyway? Go to freezing cold, nothing at all to do for fun Rexburg for a practice? Hard pass.

Yes because BYU's standards are so normal. Glass houses, man.

SandYFan

they took the strictness of BYU and added a few notches.

Mayor of Cougartown

3/20/17 1:45pm

No shorts in any non-athletic areas of the campus.

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/20/17 9:12pm

You can wear shorts in any sports facility or field.

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/20/17 9:10pm

lol, you thumbs downed me for asking a question. seems a lil sensitive?

Were they there to see if it got them pregnant?

Ragnar Danneskjold

Besides the cold, you also need a bigger population

KingDave

St George area has 3x the population as Rexburg

Are the 20,000 students not a large enough population?

maybe, we should do busses to Provo for the Spring game so that the coeds up

Nat Gas Man

3/20/17 1:22pm

The honor code applies even when not on campus

billyrust

3/20/17 1:23pm

can't they wear shorts in their apts and places that aren't on campus?

Nat Gas Man

3/20/17 1:24pm

RE: can't they wear shorts in their apts and places that aren't on campus?

billyrust

3/20/17 1:32pm

so they only exercise in long sweats?

Nat Gas Man

3/20/17 1:34pm

Sweats are technically against the rules too...

yaxcoug

3/20/17 2:20pm

Not even true at all, about the shorts or sweats...

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/20/17 9:09pm

It's against the rules to go to class in sweats. And especially shorts.

yaxcoug

3/21/17 10:06am

Yes. But the above thread is referring to exercise, appts, off-campus, etc.

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/21/17 10:24am

Also, to be in the gym, there is a certain pair of shorts you have to buy with the byui logo on them.

yaxcoug

3/20/17 2:21pm

yea, BYU was like that in the 20's-70's

Nat Gas Man

3/21/17 10:25am

We wear shorts. Not in campus. But we wear shorts.

yaxcoug

Worst job ever.

Warmer sites make more sense.

YIsForBrigham

3/20/17 1:23pm

Can you image how busy the Honor Code office would be if BYU held spring

Nat Gas Man

3/20/17 1:27pm

Not really. They just get bussed everywhere and they are chaperoned

YIsForBrigham

3/20/17 1:35pm

Oh, I'm not talking about the team..

Nat Gas Man

3/20/17 1:37pm

So you're saying the Yewt compliance office would be busy too.

AZcougLawyer

3/20/17 6:33pm

Rexburg gave up their football...

Coug

3/20/17 1:23pm

I'd likely show up for one in Houston.

jensen46

3/20/17 1:25pm

It wasn't given up, it was taken.

RC Vikings

3/20/17 1:29pm

This would be a punishment for the players not a perk.

mudpupper

3/20/17 1:25pm

I think it would be well received.

yaxcoug

3/20/17 1:26pm

By Rexburg yes, the players and coaches, nope.

mudpupper

3/20/17 1:26pm

Wait I must have misread it somewhere I thought it was fanfest

PKCoug

3/20/17 8:10pm

No. Do it where the players want to go or where recruits may be. Rexburg checks neither of those boxes.

Baron

3/20/17 1:35pm

Do you forget Taysom Hill? Or maybe Tanner Mangum? Idaho is fine for recruits.

SandYFan

3/20/17 1:36pm

We get the Idaho recruits just fine now. Go where we would like to do better.

Baron

3/20/17 1:38pm

St. George?

SandYFan

3/20/17 1:42pm

Baron

3/20/17 1:50pm

There was a spring practice in St. George. That checks your boxes?

SandYFan

3/20/17 1:53pm

Are either one of those guys from Rexburg?

I've never been to Rexburg. People in Boise brag that their climate is better...

BamaCoug

3/20/17 3:31pm

Pretty good argument that Boise's weather is better than Provo's, much lower in

You won't be missed.

SoutheastIdaCoug

I also wonder about the condition of the field.

bluecheese

3/20/17 4:13pm

You mean this field?:

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/20/17 6:06pm

That looks like artificial turf to me. The less time on that the better.

3/20/17 6:52pm

It is. It's a soft one with the little black rubber bb things but you're

SoutheastIdaCoug

I assume Madison High school has a great field. Lots of money in that school.
