Re: Rudy Joins the Church
Here were the May-June firesides with players and coaches last year:hawkwing wrote:That was the original claim, what have been the exact dates of all the firesides, and who exactly is participating in them? I don't know, so honest question.Mars wrote:Also, BYU football never stopped doing firesides. Now they just aren't the night before the game.
Sunday, May 1 — East Lansing, Michigan
Sunday, May 15 — Montgomery, Ohio
Sunday, May 22 — San Clemente, California
Sunday, May 29 — Washington DC
Sunday, June 5 — Laie, Hawaii
Sunday, June 12 — Sandy, Utah
Sunday, June 26 — Eagle, Idaho
They were supposed to do alumni firesides before the road games, but I never heard of any of them actually taking place. The local alumni association for each road game was supposed to set it up, but I don't think any of them ever did--BYU tried to shift it from a football-team thing to an alumni association thing, and it fizzled out.

Re: Rudy Joins the Church
Yeah, I don't think off-season firesides are a worthwhile replacement to in-season firesides, and I don't think alumni firesides are anywhere near as effective as player firesides (even if they really did happen).
I just have a hard time believing that Rudy would have gotten baptized if instead of having the fireside with the players before the ND game we had a fireside in June with 1 or 2 players who happened to be nearby.
Maybe I'm wrong and we'll see these firesides do some good work though.
