I'm making a major sacrifice.

My wife's work scheduled her inventory for the night of Jan 9th. Bunch of idiots. I have decided to DVR the game, shut off all my communication devices, and watch the game with her on the morning of Jan 10 to score major bonus points. She has a hatred for Bama the likes of which I have never seen, so this should garner me major bonus points.
Plus it will be nice to not have to sit through commercial breaks.

I was in a similar situation for the first game. My gf planned a couples weekend at a farm in upstate NY. The place had no tv and no cell coverage. I was going to bite the bullet and go. At the 11 th hour I cancelled on her and watched the game. She was pissed and disappointed. However, she got over it.

If my boss scheduled something the night of the game, I would counter it by calling in sick. I'm sorry, but that's bullshite.

If I was a TCU fan I could do it.

I did this (VCR, not DVR) when I was overseas during the 2007 season. I think AFN carried all but four of our games that year.
It worked well to start the season, but as the games got more important I found myself waking up in the middle of the night, quickly calculating the time conversion and then thinking about what quarter the game would be in. Then I'd start worrying.
By the Auburn game I started cheating - waking up for the fourth quarter, then re-watching the games. Had to watch the tOSU game in real time. There's no way I'd have been able to sleep without severe medication.
It's do-able, but you'll likley be miserable.

If she hates Bama that much, what makes you think SHE will wait till the next morning to find out the score...... just a thought.....

Is your wife's work in Louisiana? I find this very hard to believe. (not the part that you're a pussy, the part that the boss is this gay and/or stupid)

9Fiddy, where do you live?
Posted on 1/4/12 at 7:36 am to 9Fiddy
Wow. I still dont understand why this would need to happen?? Why wouldnt she want you to enjoy something like a football game just because she couldnt watch it live?? I would be all for it (I guess), if there was some relevance to it.... Help me out...
Posted on 1/4/12 at 7:59 am to 9Fiddy
She is going to hear what happened while at work whether she wants to or not
Posted on 1/4/12 at 8:04 am to 9Fiddy
Idk why but reading the OP makes me nauseous
Posted on 1/4/12 at 8:10 am to 9Fiddy
You are telling me they won't have a radio or TV while they are counting? She will know the results when she gets home.
Posted on 1/4/12 at 8:16 am to 9Fiddy
The whole idea is absolutely the most retarted thing I've heard in a while.

I'd be out quicker than Cramer on Seinfeld
Posted on 1/4/12 at 8:44 am to 9Fiddy
Somebody at her work will be following the game and ruin it for her. Or she'll see something on the way home. This is too big of a game IMO>
Posted on 1/4/12 at 8:46 am to 9Fiddy
Did she ask you to do this or was this something you came up with on your own? If you came up with it on your own...why!? It will gain you major bonus points for however long she wishes to recognize them. That's a week or two tops. Face it, this isn't a get out of jail free card forever...it's a one time thing.
Posted on 1/4/12 at 12:35 pm to 9Fiddy
Good luck with that. I'd say you have less than a 1% chance of not finding out the outcome before Tuesday.
Posted on 1/4/12 at 1:04 pm to 9Fiddy
You are a TCU fan. Shouldn't be that hard to watch it the next day
