"Well obviously he screwed himself. However you're not going to be able to post this on a sports forum and not get people laughing at you."

Point well taken

Buy a Slingbox and you can watch the game on your cellphone.

What gets me is those on here that think their family and even close friends should take the backseat to an LSU football game.


Hell yeah they do! No question.

Why not buy a handheld TV. I did that for one of the LSU baseball games. Twas about $100. Started watching it and all of the sudden the whole party was surrounding me watching a 2 inch TV screen. Best of both worlds here, you get to see the game and make new friends and the GF will appreciate the effort.

If you are listening to it during the ceremony, make sure during a quiet moment you let out a big, "YES!!"

think of it in a different way. I keep very close relationships with my family. Due to this, they know me very well. Since I do care a great deal and am active in their lives'... they know not to schedule anything the Saturday of a Bama game. They wouldn't know that if I wasn't so close to them.


i think this might be the 1st time i ever agreed with a bama fan, just replace the bama game with an lsu game (or yankee playoff game).

There are about 3 billion people in this world with vaginas. Dump the one you've got and find another.

Dude, unless you're engaged or already married, there is no reason you are obligated to stay to the end of the damn reception.

It's uncool to skip out during the ceremony, but, for crying out loud, who fricking cares if you miss them cutting the damn cake?!?!?! Or throwing the bouquet?

If your girlfriend can't understand that this is LSU-Florida, and there will not be a re-run, then you need to start nailing her sister, pronto!!!

I don't see the problem. Somebody hit on the fact that the game is on at 8 ET. Wedding is at 5 ET. Unless this is a Catholic wedding, three hours is PLENTY of time to go to the wedding AND reception, then find a bar?
Also,

if I bailed on this, not only would I have to find a new place to sleep for the night, but I don't know how much longer we will be together.

If your relationship is this fragile, well.
Also, in situations like this, I like to reverse roles. If you had planned on her going to a game with you (something important to you, not so much to her), then SHE had something come up that she would rather do(still allowing you to attend the game mind you), would YOU have a problem with her doing her thing and you still go to the game? I should think not, and neither should she.
You're probably young, but don't underestimate "small" power plays like this. You'll be cussing yourself after the divorce saying, "Damn, I should have seen through that shite".

Did not read the whole thread but if nothing else this guy is setting a BAD precedence. First the LSU-UF game next thing she'll plan dinner with her parents on the night of the BCS championship game that LSU is in. You have to let her know that some things just don't come before LSU football. And the only thing that does is something of serious importance to your kids or maybe your parents other than that nodda. Must be blood and direct blood no friends no spouse. This is why I have my kids initials tatooed on me but not my wifes.

Agreed, my wife is standing in one of her best friends wedding the day (6pm) of the LSU-Bama game...I think Nov. 8 was originally an open date when she scheduled it. When we found this out, I asked my wife, "you honestly don't expect me to go to the wedding right".....and fortunately she completely understood the magnitude of the game and didn't give me a hard time...though if the game's at 2:30 I will be expected to show up at the reception..which isn't so bad.....more booze and food. Win-Win
The lesson to be learned: Your g/f should know the importance of an LSU-Florida tilt and at least try to accomodate you watching the majority of the game.

Dont go, if she gets mad it will not last forever. How hard is it to come down with a stomach virus Friday, start pretending you dont feel normal on thursday, wake up Friday pretending to still not feel well, pretend it is getting worse throughout the day on Friday, Friday night pretent the virus has reached its peak and Saturday you feel better but still feel horrible. BAM you cant go.

Herein lies the clincher...

You can GO to the wedding and make an appearance at the reception, but you should certainly be able to make an escape to a bar, restaurant, or your hotel room if you're staying overnight and WATCH THE FRIGGIN' GAME!!

I have two daughters, and asked them what they would do/think if a very good friend was getting married Sat. night. One said she'd go to the wedding, and the other said that even SHE wouldn't go and would watch the game... BUT, when I asked what they would expect their boyfriend to do, they both promptly said that there was no way they would expect HIM to miss that game!!

Frickin 8 pages of all this thought.

He never tell us what level this friend of your girlfriend is?
Meaning is she her BF4Ever or just an aquaintance?
