The Jewish High Holy Days are full-day observances that require fasting and avoiding all activity except religious observances. No school. No work. No recreational activities. And it's pretty well understood that many Jews who are not particulaly observant about Sabbath-keeping are very observant when it comes to the High Holy Days.

Exactly. These days (or Christmas) are the apt comparisons to the High Holy Days. Sundays and holy days of obligation are comparable to the Sabbath, about which see above.
I agree with all of this. SLU is a Jesuit school in a *very* Catholic city, and recruitment is held on Sundays. It's in the afternoon and evening, and no one bats an eye at it. Not even remotely the same thing as a Jewish High Holy Day.

Well, being Jesuit explains that!

I would like to go through an SEC recruitment IF I could do so with my 18 year old body and my 40 year old brain.

Agreed. But not my 18 year old hair, though.

I'd do the same, but my then 17 year old hair was still growing out the results of a summer of Sun-In. Hey, if the blondes looked so great on the bottle I'd get glorious blonde highlights in my deeply brunette hair, right?

Back on topic, I would have been a fish out of water at a place like Pitt or any big downtown in the city type school. I still can't fathom Ohio State being smack in what seems to be the middle of Columbus. Give me a traditional college campus any day.
