I'm hoping TCU has only two days to prepare.

Yes they do, just like Utah is doing today.

Utah never practices on Sunday. They usually have meetings and watch film.

It's just as much a recovery thing as it is religious.

TCU is a church school in name only. In fact, a few years ago they were about to drop "christian" from the name of the school but students and alumni complained and they didn't do it.

I wonder if the no-practice-on-Sunday thing might be more common in Mormon circles than mainstream Christianity. I used to teach at a Catholic high school and the sport teams would almost always practice on Sunday afternoons.

We live near Saddleback Church, one of those big, mega-churches. It has as much parking as a mall. We drove by it a couple times this weekend. On Saturday evening, we drove by it, and it was packed - overflow parking, and everything. Yesterday afternoon we drove by it again, and it was almost empty.

Do the evangelicals go to church on Saturday night so their Sundays are free?

LOL! Saddleback is not "one of those" mega-churches. Saddleback is *the* megachurch.

Most of those kinds of churches have services all Sunday morning and evening, as well as on Saturday night. Sunday afternoons would be empty, though.

When you live in South County, you are always near the shadow of The Mouse.....and of A Purpose Driven Life. That is one massive congregation.

Another one similarly situation but not as large is Mariner's Church in Newport Beach. A few blocks away from the Newport Beach stake center. They have a campus of buildings and their parking is also expansive. For the Newport Beach temple open house, they allowed us to use their parking lot and run our shuttle buses back and forth to the temple site. Very good neighbors, even though they think we are going to hell.

I remember watching that show Laguna Beach on MTV and some girls dad was a preacher and they used the Forum for church. Her best friend was a Mormon girl that didnt get in to BYU (they showed it during one of the episodes) and she recently graduated from UVU.

Well, sure you're a bunch of cultists deluded by satan and doomed to suffer God's wrath for all eternity, but we're hardly going to hold that against you in the here and now. Just kindly keep to yourselves, and please don't go getting all uppity thinking your members can run for President.
