🏈 What's a brother to do?

[Kozlowski]

It its with a bunch of Fla people, I would think sliding a TV into the dining area would pretty well please everybody.

You know Nate, that is what is shocking. She knows football better than most my buddies, and is a HUGE fan of the Tide. This is a woman who can break out the Pros and Cons of both a 4-3 Defense and a 3-4. She has explained to a guy I know what teams were trying to do in using a Spread Offense (and she was right). She's pretty much perfect. Except that she simply did not realize that there was a confict and drug the whole Crimson Family in with her...so I have to be careful because she already feels bad.

Diamonds; there's another trap. She and I have talked about going bowling with the Tide. If I do diamonds that plan is shot.

Go to the play but make sure she knows you are only going because you love her soo much and had it been anyone else in the world..... then tell her shes beautiful

I think she should miss the play to stay at home and watch the game with you. After all, you have put just as many weeks into the Bama season as she has her play. She should never have simply decided that you would be going without consulting with you first. There is a double standard occuring here.

Just find someone at work who is sick a few days before and invite them to lunch, preferably a buffet of some sort and sit close. Surely if you can get a little sick you can stay home and not "chance getting all of the other fine people at the play sick".

Or quickly realize this really isn't a decision at all, go to the play and have a good night, dont look at anyone and try to gage their expression then watch the game on replay.

I guess there is a cynical option 3 though which is voice your concern with her about the play and hope that she inevitably suggest that you record it. Then hand her the camera and tell her to find a good spot as you would hate to miss any of the play when you watch it later instead of the game.

Can she turn the tickets back in to the church and exchange them for another night/dinner/whatever?

How many seats are at a table? Is the expense of re-buying the table for a different showing prohibitive? And then donate those 12/5 PM tickets to a nice group of people (disabled? elderly?) who might otherwise not get to go.

This is very, very difficult. It depends on your relationship. Will one of you be holding a grudge agains the other if y'all can't come to a mutual agreement? If you miss the game, will you forever harbor ill-will about it? If you miss the play and dinner, will she be irreversibly pissed? Can you go to the play and leave after with her blessing?

It was not smart of her to do that, but I'm sure she was thinking "special family evening out" and the SECCG never crossed her mind. God bless her.

Good luck.

Just go to the frickin play. Geez, it's ONLY a football game. :nana: :rofl:

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Go to the play, slip out about half time. :lol:

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Get an iphone and watch the game at the play. Or eat some bad chinese food the night before and watch the game at home with a mild case of food poisoning. Nick Saban would approve of either.

Hogwash. Nick Saban would approve of a mild case of nothing. Wait until Saturday and eat the chinese buffet at 2pm, just before shutdown when the chicken has mellowed to medium rare at humid, room temperature. At the first projectile "re-run" of the chicken, you'll have your walking papers.

If you choose to watch the game on an iphone, route the game call through the church sound system. There's an app for that.

RTR,

Surely she realizes how important this game is for you. So first, tell her that you love her very much but you can't attend. Instead, have her give you a "private performance" before she sings for everyone else. That way she won't be mad at you for missing the one at the church. (And you better show her that you love her performance!) Then hand her $15 and tell her to invite one of her other friends or relatives as your guest.
She can enjoy her moment of glory, you can watch the game, and everyone will be happy.
