The question he posed in his defense about how it is any different to the BYU students in the swimming team was probably what saved him from punishment.

Hello,

He brings up a good point. Why is there a double standard? It seems to me if you play sports at or for BYU not only can you flip the bird to their "honor code", but do it in really good style:

Usually not a fan of blonds but this picture makes an excellent argument for cloning.

I am a huge fan of blondes and I agree with your cloning statement. About 7 years ago I arrived in Utah, to live, for a summer and semester. I could not believe how beautiful the girls were and how fruity the guys were. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. No way could I have achieved a girl as hot as my wife while living in the east (note my wife is a 10 on any person's scale...I know I lucked out big).

My question, what do they put in the water?

LostinDC,

I would think if you happen to have a thing for the Caucasian with northwesterly European decent woman, then yes, BYU would have a lot of that going for you. Maybe you could take a moment to look at some other Universities like Stanford or MIT (a couple of my favs) and see that there are beautiful people at those as well... just slightly different shades of color.

You do realize that I live in DC and grew up in the northeast, right? But yes, I am a sucker for beautiful blondes so continue to whine. by the way, I am guessing your wife is African American? If not, whats your point? Are you attempting to establish that a person is racist for thinking many Utah girls are very pretty?

Wow! Thanks for the visual stimulation :D

I have to say that I personally appreciate beauty in all of it's forms. I have dated girls of every race -- from blonde, to Latina, to black -- and have enjoyed them all (or as many as possible ;).
