The wife made an arrangement for us to have dinner at a friends house on Saturday night. I ask her if she had lost her mind. I tend to get rather into the game and am not good at conversation while the game is on. My mind is troubled about this. It's like I would ask some beer drinking buddies over to the house while she is doing a baby shower. This is a BAD omen.

Here is a little ditty that will help you gain strength to realize and accept your position Volnanza: (courtesy of the infamous Bob & Tom morning radio show)

Ladies and Gentle man the Man Song!

(He's the man, He's the man)
(Crew Laughs)

I don't take no crap from anyone else but you,
I wear the pants around here when im finished with your laundry,
Cause I'm a guy you don't wanna fight,
When I say jump you say, "Yeah Right!"
Im the man of this house until you get home

(He's the man, He's the man)

What I say goes around here right out the window,
And I don't want to hear alot of whining so I'll shut up,
The sooner you learn whos boss around here
The sooner you can give me my orders dear,
Cause I'm head huncho around here but its all in my heeeeaaaadddd!!

(He's the man, He's the man)

And I can have sex any time that you want,
Cause I'm a man who has needs but they're not that important,
And don't expect any flowers from me cause if im not mistaken you perfer jewlery,
I'm the king of my castle when your not around,

(He's the man, He's the man)

And I'll drink and watch sports whenever I want to get in trouble,
And I'll come home when I'm good and ready, to sleep on the couch,
Cause a MAN's gotta do what a MAN's gotta do,
and I'm gonna do what my wife tells me to do
Because I'm top dog around here but I've been nutered!!

(He's the man, He's the man)

You da man!

(Clapping)

My wife knows that Saturdays in the fall are pretty much off limits with the rare exception of the money games that I record and watch later. I always mention games I'm looking forward to and planning on watching and when they're scheduled and I throw out reminders often. In this situation it sounds like your best bet would be to record the game and shut off your phone. Either that or try to leave early and catch up on the recording.

Get overly excited about it, but then “realize” that you told your friend (you know, the one she absolutely can’t stand and doesn’t want anyone to know you’re associated with) that you would hang out with him that night because his dog died recently and he needs the company. Then you “get struck” with the brilliant idea to suggest to her that you invite your friend to the dinner, that in light of the circumstances there is really no other option. She’ll reschedule or let you not attend. Either way you win because you’ll get to watch the game and you look like a good person and she can’t object to that.

I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you. Fortunately, you have options. Here's what I recommend.

1. Set the game to record.
2. Text your buddies and alert them of your situation. Instruct them to send *NO SPOILERS*.
3. Explain to your wife she has unknowingly put you in a difficult situation and propose a compromise. For example, "Honey, I will gladly go to the gathering. I'll even shave and wear whatever shirt you want me to. But would it be too much to ask for us to leave by about 8:30 so I don't miss the entire game?"

If she agrees to these terms, you should be able to catch up with the live game midway through the 3rd quarter. Just skip through commercials and skip ahead 15 seconds between plays while we are on DEFENSE *do not attempt the skip ahead strategy while we are on offense*.

Keep your head up and be on your best behavior today and tomorrow. This will likely earn you some favor in the eyes of your bride. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor. We'll be thinking of you.

This is the worst freakin advice I have ever read.
You forgot to tell him to wear clean panties and wipe the seat after he gets up from peeing.

The only acceptable thing to do here is divorce her!

Excuse me, sir! But I've had great success in life with these tactics. My wife is hot, and I rarely have to go longer than 2-3 days without sex. No better metrics for measuring success exist.

Is she mad at you? As a woman (and wife) this sounds like something I’d do as payback 😂. Not during a UT game of course, but maybe a morning during deer season 😈

This has never came up here..because I think my wife understands that I would lick her in a closet..lol

If you plan it right before you all leave, she'll let you watch the game and bring you a drink. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say she wants the closet treatment more than she wants to have dinner with friends.....

Pretty simple. You do your own 'early bird special' and dinner is at 4pm. 3 1/2 hours later thank them for coming and offer them the leftovers.

Yeah.

Time to have that awkward conversation about what you did to make her hate you so and make up quickly before kickoff. Just confront her and get it over with because this game was something that you wanted to watch and celebrate with her.

You can tell her that her support during football season is why you love her so and that you don’t want to ruin this special moment among guests. If she doesn’t go for that, then you can be sure that divorce was the plan all along and nothing you could have done would have prevented it.

It's settled. We leave their house a 7. Home in time for kickoff. 😁

Sometimes spousal diplomacy works. I'm glad I didn't have to escalate to Def Con 2. Hey, it took me 47 years to figure these things out. Women are complicated.

I had no idea I would get this kind of response to my first post. Thanks for all the ideas. Some good. Some bad. And then there is the closet idea. That's got to be the most off the wall winner.

Glad to hear it, man! After the game, hit up that closet.

A former boss who is a professor in Germany visiting in Texas this week wanted to have dinner preferably on Saturday. I had to nix that idea, we are meeting tonight instead. Go Big Damm Orange!

Grateful Dead said it best…..

“The women are smarter in every way. “

She won, and let you think you won.

And now you can watch the game, and I suspect you might just decide to celebrate in the closest.

Ain’t life grand….

Now to the other fella going to a wedding……

I have no words…

Well…my first marriage happened to be scheduled while Chuck Webb blew out his knee. Omen? The marriage ended in divorce.

Let’s hope your evening goes better.

Just follow along with the official game thread. You won’t really know what’s going on, but that roller coaster ride will be like nothing else.
