This may be off topic or whatever, downvote or delete if necessary...

If you interact with BYU folks this weekend, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by their fan base and mormons in general. The Southern decadence vs mormon thing is lol worthy, but reality is that it won't faze these people at all...they will probably be highly amused.

No, they don't drink, and the religion itself sounds bizarre to me, but whatever. I can honestly say after interacting with several LDS folks through work from all over the country, give me a mormon and I'll take my chances vs most other groups of people. Hard working, smart, generous, and friendly... almost every single one from my experience.

Riding bikes in shirt and tie going door to door is...different, but in real life situations I've enjoyed being around mormons.

I guess my point is, I hope our fan base treats these folks well.

I know a Mormon couple and they're normal. Just don't drink.

Can they drink wine? Jesus drank wine.

Y'all act as if all Mormons follow the rules. Think more in line with Baptists. From the mormins I have known, they may avoid caffeine but generally have no problem with doing a line off the naked thigh of their secretary.

For the first time in my life, I saw a black one in Boutte a few months ago riding his bike with a white one.
Definitely don't see many black Mormons.

Bad thing about Mormons is not the fact they will marry and frick your sister, they will marry and frick all 3 of your sisters.

One of my subs is a Mormon and he tells some of the dirtiest jokes I've heard.

All the ones I know are nice, hardworking, and funny.

But they are also really stuck up and think they're shite doesn't stink. And they all say exactly what they're thinking, so it's very noticeable at times.

Covtgr...excellent post.

I grew up knowing a few families that were mormon and went to school with me growing up. Very true words. All very kind people, who love their sports! We should get along just fine with them

For any who may not be aware, about 6500 Mormon volunteers visited Baton Rouge last September to help clean up the mess. I came with a group from College Station to help out. I've never seen anything like it, including when I worked in insurance repair doing water damage jobs. It was great to see all of the different church and community groups that came to help. When it all comes down to it, we're not really all that different.

Oh, and if a couple guys in white shirts knock on your door, offer them a glass of water. They likely aren't from the humidity and it's killing them.

remember folks, mormon women flirt to convert. have fun! it's ok for them to have sex with you as long as there is no movement. you can just put it in and leave it.

People on this site act as if the BYU fans will burn in flames if they see a strange person in New Orleans.

The Mormons I have known have been genuinely nice people too.
