  1. I am pretty sure you aren't nuts and these are Roman Catholic traditions. :D
    We're as Catholic as can be, and I've never heard the idea of moving the three wise men over a number of days. Although the first crèche was created by St. Francis of Assisi, they are not sacramentals, so I don't believe there are any specific "rules" about them. In our house, the nativity scene is meant to depict the entire story of Christ's birth, so all the figures are present, all the time.
  2. BF, I will be traveling in one of those "rock star buses" this Saturday. It is well worth the coin to sit back and relax and let someone else do the driving. Might as well be comfortable if I'm going to be in a vehicle for 7 hours. Just makes sense to pay a fee for my seat and not to put the miles on the car and the expenses that go with making the several hundred mile trip.

     

    I don't blame those that choose to stay back and watch on the net. Maybe if I didn't have a boy playing and a young lady on the dance team, I would do the same.

    I don't have a problem with you doing that. There's not a thing wrong with it, and I'd be totally all over that deal myself! The few people out there that I have trouble with are the ones that are blessed with the above option, but feel the need to seemingly look down their noses at those who aren't blessed in the same way.
  3. If a luxury RV is a 52 passenger bus with some great people that pack a tailgate for you to enjoy just so you have a ride to the game , then that is great. :ylsuper:

    Now we both know that's not what I'm talking about. I think some of us just get tired of being called out and made to feel lesser because it isn't such an easy proposition for us to get to games like this. And those from whom it is most tiresome are the aforementioned mansion-mobile crowd. And you know who you are...:wave:
  4. Look' date=' you've got three groups of folks that go to Highlands games; the alumni contingent, the parents of the players, and everyone else. The everyone else group enjoys watching good football on Friday nights in their community but when you ask them to drive to Bowling Green, they look at you like you have two heads.[/quote']I think that is the case in most communities, and completely understandable. But I'm not sure if all communities have people questioning their fellow fan's commitment or loyalty, simply because they don't make long trips to watch their team.
  5. It's not a lack of enthusiasm. I'm just saying it's tough to drive several hours to watch a potential running clock in the second quarter. They shouldn't even have a running clock rule for a State Title game in the first place.
    I agree wholeheartedly. Several people I've spoken to recently have said the distance is the deal-breaker in deciding whether or not to watch it on the Internet. Reading the admonitions from all these folks who travel in luxury RV's makes me cringe. If you die-hard tailgaters want to load up your rolling mansions and watch your big screens while enjoying a wine and cheese party, well then more power to ya. :cool: For the rest of us down here in the huddled masses, the trip is a drudge. :sorry:
