What about Ramadan?

We're a little late covering this tidbit, but it's still relevant. From the Rider volleyball page:

"Saturday is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement for the Jews. The Rider volleyball team will attempt to make amends for losing its last four matches when it hosts Loyola University Maryland in a  Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference match, beginning at 3pm."

Hm. Interesting take. I wonder if that kind of intro would work for other special days?

"Sunday is Easter, the time to celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. The Rider Broncs baseball team hopes their offense will be reborn, too, after starting the season 0-7."

I like it. What else? Do we have to stay non-secular?

"Tomorrow is Secretary's Day, the day to celebrate office support staff. The Rider field hockey team looks to celebrate tomorrow, too, at their first-ever 'White Out' event."

Yes. YES. What about bordering on ludicrous?

"Friday is Earth Day, a time to celebrate our planet and to take steps to help our environment. The Rider golf team looks to do the same by planting tee shots in their home course's fertile fairways, hopefully helping the program to take root and provide competitive shade for future Broncos (all club covers will be made from hemp)."
