Because she was a miserable [vagina]. She was one of the "I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with football/sports are stupid/Tennessee sucks" people and scheduled it on a gameday because she knew it would piss people off. Fortunately, not long after her wedding, my wife finally realized she was a [itch bay] and hasn't talked to her since. Living in Knoxville, I run across women somewhat regularly that have that mindset in regards to Tennessee football. Almost like they think it makes them cool or interesting to hate what the majority of the city enjoys. Fortunately for me, my wife loves football and will raise hell at the game just like I do. Edit: We can't say [vagina]? What about [unt cay]?
I was going to a game one time and there was a wedding at Crescent Bend. People were getting pissed because they couldn't leave. I did not feel an ounce of sympathy.
Had friends at church whose daughter got married at some little church on Chapman Highway downtown. The mom was complaining to someone that there were no hotel rooms downtown that weekend and couldn't figure out why, and I told her "because it's the UT/Georgia game". No one in her family had even considered the thought. Wedding was at 2 and it was a 3:30 kickoff. Told her she better tell them to get there early.
There really are two americas. I don't understand how some people are totally oblivious to sports when it dominates the culture.
Especially in a place like Knoxville when it can very practically affect things like driving across town
Yup. I get that you don't like sports. That's fine. But when you are planning a major fall event at least check the calendar.
Was asked to play in a charity golf tourney this Oct. 1st thing I did was look at Vols schedule. Sent kudos to organizers for selecting Saturday when we were not playing. P.S. I'm lucky. My wife enjoys all things Vols, sports-wise.
Yeah. Even the non-NASCAR fans over here know to stay off the road during Race weekends at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A week before and a week after, everybody and their brother thinks they are Dale Earnhardt incarnate, drafting you on the interstates around here.
My wife and I are flying out of the country the day of the Florida game. That is how badly I need a vacation right now (and how hard it is to plan with three kids under 7 and the nearest grandparents 500 miles away). Flying back on the bye weekend, so at least there’s that.
The other option was to fly out the week of the Akron game and fly back during the Florida game. Between our work schedules and the schedules of people offering to babysit, it was slim pickings
Well, that was a mistake. I married a demon. You know what she said? She said if they actually won meaningful games she would take my wanting to watch them more seriously. But all it does is make me upset. Cut me to the bone.
If you graduated from UT on any level, you can play the alumni card, no matter the level of suck. If not, look for a beloved relative, friend, etc with connection. Play the "I grew up in Tennessee" card.
