I say anyone who gets married on a Saturday during college football season just has their priorities all screwed up

Agreed! The proper etiquette, if a fall wedding MUST be held, is to schedule the wedding on the weekend of the bride's team's bye weekend(s). I mean, her wedding day is "Her special day," so, if she must get hitched during college football season, a bye weekend wedding is still considered acceptable. (At least it is acceptable here, in Pac-12 country.)

I KNEW IT! I spend one lousy day, y'know, doing life stuff, and I get home to find what? I'M OFF THE BLEEDIN' LEADERBOARD!

Stupid hiking and taking pictures.

Oh wait.

Eh, I'll just start posting play-by-play posts of the football game on Saturday

Works for me! Let's see, I generally watch at least 3 games on Saturday, at least 2 on Sunday, the Monday night game, and...oh, tonight's game! Currently watching the Packers shred Minnesota.

Umm, cough,cough but EXCUSE ME, my dear Sharon, but "Tonight's game" is the Arizona Wildcats playing at Autzen stadium again my #2-ranked Oregon Ducks!!! ESPN at 7:30 PM Pacific Time!!! Watch prospective Heisman Trophy candidate Marcus Mariota run the Oregon offense, and see if Oregon's recently decimated and then rebuilt offensive line can block!! Since the early-season win over then #7 Michigan State in Week 2, the Ducks have lost THREE offensive tackles to injury. Last game, before the bye last Saturday, playing a night game in Pullman Washington against Washington State, the Ducks had a freshman OT on one side, and a walk-on, non-scholarship junior playing right tackle,and the first half was NOT pretty, with those two noobs getting beat for six, count 'em, SIX sacks on poor Mariota! In the second half, Oregon's offensive coordinator Scott Frost (the starting QB for Nebraska in their 1995 National Championship season) figured out that with those two noobs at tackle, he had to call some quick, fast-release passing plays and let Mariota handle the pressure on run plays more on his own instead of depending on a solid line.

I would actually MUCH rather watch your Ducks than this Houston v. UCF game. Not saying I want Oregon to win, mind you--but I don't hate Oregon. Except when they play us, and that shouldn't happen again for a while!

Unfortunately, what is a nice early evening start for you is pretty much my bedtime here. So while you watch your Mighty Ducks, I'll likely end up watching the back of my eyelids.

Exactly! If I ever have a wedding - well, first of all, it will take about 15 minutes and involve maybe 25-30 people max, so plenty of time for football. And if it can't be on a by week, then for sure the game will be playing at the reception!

Bye weekends are, in fact, SO popular around here, that if you want to get married during football season (which seems like a STUPID idea to me), you'd be better ready to call your venue and get it reserved the minute the schedule is announced because they book up solid for bye weeks.

I seriously do NOT know what possessed my niece, an otherwise smart, sweet and awesome young lady, to choose to get married on a UT football Saturday. That's just Messed. Up. if you ask me.

I'm a women's ministry director; we hold a fall retreat for our ladies every year, usually around this time (not doing it this year for reasons that aren't relevant to this discussion). Luckily my "second in charge" is as big a fanatic as I am--the rest of the leadership all thinks we're nuts, but we always schedule the retreat for a TN bye weekend if possible. If it's just not possible, we plan "free time" during when the UT game will be on. LOL

Back in the old days of video rental stores, I used to go on Sunday afternoons - there was NOBODY in the store (I am not a fb fan)

My sister Theda held my niece's (Theda's granddaughter) sixth birthday party on Super Bowl Sunday in 2012! WOW!!!! Talk about being out of touch with the important things in the world!

My oldest son's 5th birthday was attended by only a few family members -- it was the same weekend of the Alexandria, VA Scottish Festival. The highlight was when one of the pipe bands came to the tent and piped "Happy Birthday" to him.

In college, I didn't go to any games for an entire season because I was working as a waitress and scheduled for Saturdays. At first I thought it was evil, but then I realized...waitress? On a Saturday?? In a college town??? Oh my god, did I rake in the dough!

 

[snerd]

....... Oh my god, did I rake in the dough!

Pizza joint, huh?!
