Dear Soonerguy:

Do BYU players wear those sacred Mormom undergarments under their pads during games?

— Fashion conscious in OKC

Dear Fashion:

No, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) allows athletes to forego wearing the traditional Mormon undergarments during games because they are impractical.   Church members won’t talk about these duds,  but they serve as reminders of the person’s covenant with God.  These garments (even women wear them under their bras) are only worn by members who have gone through the temple ritual called endowment, and that’s not everyone on the team.

Not sure if this means the Cougars go commando when on the gridiron.   OK, I know. TMI. 

Dear Soonerguy:

Is it true that the Coca-Cola sold on BYU’s campus has all the caffeine removed from it?

Dear Pop:

Yes.  Which means we have no idea how students stay up late to study.

Dear Soonerguy:

Will the Cowboys Stadium dome be open or closed. And, if closed, is there air conditioning? 

— Ms. Chick in Chickasha

It will be closed. There is a 48 percent chance of rain on Saturday.  Also, Jerry Jones is afraid punters will knock balls out of the stadium if the dome is left open.
