re: Do you have this problem when watching football with your wife or gf

I honestly have never dealt with anything like this.

I watch football alone in the dark sipping cheap whiskey with a loaded revolver. So no.

what i don't get is why these people (typically women, but in large groups sometimes guys) even show up to watch the game

Yep. My wife worked at ULM for five years. Her job basically required her to be at the games. She married me, left ULM and obtained the same type job here. She knew absolutely zero about football. I asked her "didn't you learn anything about the game in those five years?"

Her response - I went to the games to visit people.

Told her that shite was going to work with her new husband. She became a student of the game eventually but my patience was tried for about four years before her education took hold.

Solid.

"Well what are you wearing, Jake from State Farm"?

"She sounds hideous"

Dammit now I really want a pumpkin spice latte

Nope, my girlfriend is more worried about why we aren't blitzing more effectively.

when my big friend group gets together for games (which is happening less and less now...f'in babies), there is usually a crazy TV area (typically outside if people start nervous-smoking while drunk) and a more stable tv area.

the wives/gfs who aren't into the game chill (usually inside) and talk about whatever and passively keep up with the game

the wives/gfs who are into the game will be around the action.

girlfriends must be able to handle this or they do not last long. if i go on a date in the fall, i typically bring a girl there to throw her in the fire early. if she can't handle my friends at our best, she doesn't deserve me at my worst
