Oh sh*## this game is on the day of atonement? That means I can't swear during the game.

Actually shows you how good of a Jew I am. I didn't even notice that the game was on erev (eve) of Yom Kippur. I was planning to do a game watch in Phoenix that night. Thanks for pointing this fact out to one of the board Jews.

As far as having the game on this night, I have to say it is akin to a game on Christmas or Easter. It is the most holy of days for the Jewish faith. My husband will not turn on a TV during this holiday. Of course if there is a good world series game on or something else he wants to watch, he has his slightly less religious wife turn it on for him. I would hope that the University looked into moving the game to Saturday night which would have worked much better with respecting the holiday and the large Jewish student body. I know this has been done in the past for Yom Kippur. But I also know that sports games get played on all days, even Christmas, so I am at least pleased that the school has moved activities in respect to those who will be attending services on Friday night in Hendricks chapel.
