Last weekend we got the chance to drive over to South Bend and see our Cougs play Notre Dame! We were joined by the male counterparts of the law school crowd and enjoyed seeing campus and watching the game. One of our friends that came with us at one point described it as "Disneyland for religious people." Here's why.
Touchdown Jesus (Sacreligious? Possibly.)
which (who?) is also visible from the stadium, of course...
we also found first-down Moses, complete with horns
and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
They also have some great football traditions. Their tailgating is legendary--a huge college parking lot bumper-to-bumper with cars and tents and lots of food. Before their games the entire crowd lines up along one part of campus as the players walk down an alley to get to the stadium, and then the marching band is followed into the stadium by the fans. And even though BYU didn't end up winning (surprise, surprise), it was still a close game and the stadium was full of enough BYU fans that Ken was satisfied.
