The only answer. If she insists on coming to your house that day, show her what happens that day. Maybe the bitch will leave or start enjoying game day.
Looks like your SO would stand up for you also.

There is 1 more thing. They are most likely going to apply pressure to your husband and show up anyway. You need to rally the troops (kids) and just go about your lives as if they aren't there. If they don't like the noise of teenagers, they can hit the road. Do not let them come to your house and make you act to for their needs. Your husband should get on board of it alienates him from the kids.
FWIW: I would give your husband the same advice against you, but you posted here.
Last: your chance to win this war was when your first child was born. It's a little late, but fight on. Time is on your side.

Yes. I think you're being a bit selfish.
Can you not watch football with them there? I don't understand.

couldnt link that rolling on the floor emoji, but I wish I could!
Wow that would be epic, but I do normally just prefer to keep the peace!
I didn't receive any lucid, or rational comment compelling me to let them come. The majority of the comments that said let them come were basically calling me a B or a C or bashing my lifestyle or gender. FYI that's not usually the most effective way to move someone towards your way of thinking!
To the poster that said they would probably bring a dog, LOL, you must be psychic or a relative bc they do bring their little nervous dog when they visit! And to add insult to injury, 3 big dogs have to go stay at the farm when he's here!

Well because you come off as one with your posts. Women that are that obsessed with football are not usually attractive or cool or the envy of your husband's friends(despite what you may think), they are normally annoying as hell.

This isn't "Dear Abby" and TD is pretty good about calling a spade a spade.

So are women who brag about running up their husband's credit cards when he's out of town

Jesus. If they were trying to drag you for a trip or you had already planned on going to a game, that would be one thing. It's one weekend, football doesn't mean shite in the grand scheme of things, and you're going to be home, anyway.

That as well. I mean how is getting yourself (your husband's debt is yours when married) further in debt just because you are a spiteful, miserable gumpy bitch brag worthy?

Bitches be crazy. Especially the ones who think they're awesome because they like football and think they're "one of the guys."

Quit altering your lifestyle for them.
Tell them your dogs will be home and their dog will need to be left at home or perhaps eaten by yours.
Tell them you are watching opening weekend football and they will need to bring steaks or beer or they can go do something else.
Tell them to be on best behavior and call them out every time they get negative and don't worry about it.
Then this could really be the last visit.

B-I-N-G-O
Hence my earlier post.
I also was up with an earache and cranky but that was just spiteful and childish.

She doesn't actually want advice in here.
She wants us to say she is right and that her inlaws are wrong. And she wants us to post how cool she is for being female and loving football.

A chick that loves college FB that much?? Wow.
I've been hearing that from my ILs several times a year for a decade. My response to my wife (who shares my sense of humor about it) is that if they're gonna pull that card then they need to agree to die. Joking. Mostly.
Surely they can agree to another weekend if they really want to.

Let them come. Dont cater to their whims and they will likely cut the trip short.

calls my husband (yes, I'm a girl) crying saying she hasn't been feeling well and that she's afraid that this is her last visit ever and they need to visit that weekend. I still said nope.

How far do they live from you? Flights are cheap when it is convenient for both of you.
Have your kids have plenty of noisy friends over, Watch what you want. Tell your dogs that theirs is popcorn. Make plenty of food.
"Lady, can you control your monkey? The monkey lives here. You are just a visitor."
While these are my original thoughts, I see that Nurse has weighed in that you are wrong. She is usually a bastion of civilization and good guidance.
Your continued refusal to post pics of yourself and your sandwich making skills may make her correct.
Now I have to think....
