One of my wife's good friends was getting married today. It was supposed to start at 3:00 pm. It started at 3:20 . A little worried but hey the game doesnt start till 6:15 Pacific time so lets just get it going and everything will be allright. At 3:50 the vows are done and heading to the appetizers. Ok at my wedding things were like clockwork. 30 Min for pictures and we are in for the reception meal. This wedding appetizers for over an hour. OMG i am starting to breath a little nervous. This wedding isnt moving at the proper pace. 5:00pm we are allowed into the reception area and find our seats. OK OK lets get this wedding moving. We sit and sit and come to find out the food isnt ready on time. we have to wait. Ok the food is finally ready and we eat. I slip out at 6:00 and in a panic i look for the front desk at this senior center to see if they have a tv. Not one T. V in the whole place. I am freaking out. I was thinking i am on the way home at 5:45pm. Havnt even finished meal, cut cake, toasts, No T.V. around. My wife realizes i am starting to hyperventilate and that if something positive doesnt happen soon she is going to be visiting me at the Emergency room. She calls her sister to at least tape it for me. No answer. Call her mom No answer. I grab the phone and call our friends. They answer and i am barely able to talk Cindy I am in a panic She starts to talk and i interupt I tell her i am stuck at this wedding and the tigers are about to start. Can you tape the game for me. She asks her husband ( My Golfing Buddy ) if he will tape the game for me. He says yes and i tell her thank you. I tell her to tell him i will let him win our next golf match. I am dissapointed i wont get to see the game live but hey i am at least getting it taped. I relax a little dance, eat cake and socialize all the time thinking about my tigers. My wife can tell i am thinking about the game and tries to apoligize. I tell her it is ok but that none of my friends would schedule a wedding during football season. As we leave i kid with the bride and groom and tell them that they must know how much we care for them because i am missing a LSU Tiger football game to be here. They know how big a fan i am and thank us for coming. When we get to the car we get in and turn it on and we had left the radio on and the tiger game was on the radio. I couldnt believe it because it was just an am station that we had found a game on earlier on the way. Whats the score whats the score soon i find out ASU17 LSU 7 . Damn. End of 3rd quarter. Boom touchdown LSU Boom another LSU Touchdown . We have been in the car 5 minutes and the Tigers go ahead. We make it home just as ASU goes ahead again. The rest you know. Tigers pull it out. I score points with my wife for staying at the wedding and the tigers win. All in all a good night
Do yourself a favor and just burn the tape when your friend gives it to you. If you knew how much misery that piece of advice saved you you'd thank me.
sounds like a busy night! On a game like this I'd rather know the outcome, that way you don't have a heart attack while watching a game that has already been played! enjoy the tape man.
man its is really freaky how often people get married on lsu gamedays. in fact it is my fault lsu lost to florida in 2003, because i had to go to a damn wedding and i missed the game and without my karma lsu is helpless.
For that Florida game i had to go camping that weekend with my wife's Parents. I told her unless you want a divorce there will be no more camping trips during football season. I did get to watch the game but her frekin parents were bad luck. I dont let them come to our house during LSU games anymore. I cant risk that they are cursed.
yeah sucks but i can't watch games at my fathers because we lose everytime. He says im stupid but i can't chance it. Sucks too cause he is a big of fan as I am.
