paging natural,

Natural to the thread. Natural to thread.

Maybe I could sell it as penance?

And this is why you are seeing they decay of society.

I blame the gays.

 

[CO_hawk]

Religion was just a way to control the population when it started and still is in a way.

I blame the gays.

We are powerful. If we lose today I'm sending a hurricane to PA.

 

[General Roman Malaise]

I blame the gays.

It's not all on the gays. The Jews share equal blame.

 

[wbrhawkeye]

I blame the gays.

And I blame your mama for making you gay, closeted and a homophobe

Then you're an idiot.

Sports occur at all different times of any given day, and any day on the calendar is just as likely to have religious significance to someone as any other.

Why should the NCAA plan their schedule around the Christian religion and not all the others?

Real Christians observe the entire Sabbath anyways, not just the early morning hours. Sounds like you're something of a hypocrite on this issue.

Ease off and no reason to call me an idiot. I expressed the opinion that the time of the game forces people like me who attend church to have to make a choice. I ended up deciding to stay home and watch the game and another poster stated that they have other things they consider more important in life than sports and will attend their service.

Given that large numbers of people do attend religious services on Sunday mornings I don't see any need to schedule games on Sunday mornings given that we have all weekend to play these games but the networks make that call not me. I will watch the game and get on with life.

For over half the country its not scheduled for Sunday morning.

But the networks know that a game between Iowa and Villanova involves a fan base watching from the Central Time Zone so I don't really see the point. While we will play the game in Brooklyn it all revolves around the revenues from television.

There is no matchup of just East coast teams. The other sites today are St. Louis, Oklahoma and Spokane. Makes sense a Big ten team (with most of the big 10 in the east time zone) and a philly team in NYC would be the noon game.

Really you have a point and the networks and NCAA schedule these games which works out best for them. Think I started this conversation because I get irritated with the noon starts in conference play CT. That makes no sense to me even playing at Maryland or Rutgers.
