Jan 23, 2012 - #1 Comes In

[Thegreatone]

In a game that many would call the biggest non tourny game in the history of the shoe there will be a something missing.

I will not be in attendance! It is my fiance's 24th birthday and I am more than likely locked into dinner. I did explain to her that she is #1..... but so is Syracuse. I thought it was funnier than her.

While she said I should go to the game it didn't come off as a genuine request. So I will skip the game.

Any last minutes suggestions for me?

Are you going?

Wait is this the same person who wasnt allowed to watch the bengals playoff game? Common Theme?

Of course Im going, and im going to sell your ticket. Eat dirt.

Whoa whoa whoa.... I am always allowed to do whatever. Sometimes you choose to be other places.

It is called priorities... Even if they suck.

Sunday night celebration. 4 oclock dinner monday.

You potentially missed the first bengal playoff win in 20 years.

NOW! your going to miss the first #1 team in the country come to the shoe!?

o boy.. ThGreatOne version 7th grade would be greatly dissapointed in himself!

You are smart to go to dinner with your fiance. If there is one thing she will remember, it is her birthday. You will hear about skipping out on her birthday every year for the rest of your life. Trust me, man, record the game and watch it later.

I always knew you where soft. Birthdays are YEARLY events. One will come again next year!

It could be another 200 years before a #1 team comes to town!

Haha. "Birthdays are YEARLY events." YES!!! That is why you HAVE to go to dinner with her. Next year she'll "remind" him how he missed her birthday for a "stupid game." And then she'll remind him the year after that, and the year after that, etc. You must not be married or engaged.

Oh, and if she is really vindictive, just wait until it is YOUR birthday after you skipped out on her. And I am not talking about presents, if you catch my drift.

Uh you screwed this one up big time. All it took was some planning and foresight and you couldve done both and everything wouldve been great.

All you had to do was tell her you have her whole birthday celebration planned but you want to do it on a weekend night so you both can stay up/out later, drink more, gift exchange and so forth. Schedule a reservation at a tough place to get them them for on Sat or Fri night. Besides, even some nice restaurants stay closed on Monday evenings so that was an easy thing to add on. Tell her that way you guys can really celebrate bc its a weekend night instead of a weekday, and having to be up the next day. No where in the conversation should you have mentioned doing it to be able to go to the Syracuse/UC game bc youre toast then. Besides, is there really any chance that she knew UC had a game that night, let alone against the #1 team in the nation? When she asks you on Monday what youre doing, just say you'll see her late in the evening (assuming you dont live together) or if you cant see her Monday after the game, then leave her an extra gift thats something small like a massive costco sized box of her favorite snack with a small note and drop in text messages throughout the day. If all that isnt enough, kick this girl to the curb.

Thats what you shouldve done anyways.

You blew it the second you got engaged....get used to it. Life as you know it is over, and not in a good way.

That only works if he is the type of guy that typically does those kind of things (nice dinners at tough to get places and making a night of it). If not, she will realize something is up and put the pieces together.

His best bet would be to do the dinner thing Friday or Saturday and then make sure she has a ticket to go to the game with him Monday. Tell her she is your good luck charm and the Bearcats will need all the luck in the world since it is the #1 team in the country. But you have to be upfront with it.

You heard the man, Noodle (BigBiscuit34, your out). Better luck next time.

Do you know that UC has 3 wins vs the number 1 ranked team. 2 vs Ohio State and 1 vs Duquesne.

I missed out watching the the UC-Duke game back in the day because it was the first official date with my now wife. Do what you got to do man. It sucks, but just one of those things. Your only way out of it might be to take her to the game with you. If she's that kind of girl. My wife didn't use to be but she is now. She knos if theres a game I am preoccupied, but she is always part of the plan and theres always a ticket for her.

 

[Thegreatone]

Of coarse I had a big weekend plan to celebrate her birthday. You guys think I am a rookie? Unfourtanately birthdays are a big deal in her family and spending it alone would be unheard of.

I missed our friends wedding for the Oklahoma football game and still hear about it.

Little known fact, one turns a year older on the day before one's birthdate. Example, if you were born January 18, 1991 you are 21 years old today January 17, 2012, so go out drinking. The solution for the great one is simple, take her out to dinner on Sunday, the day she becomes a year older.

Make that 4, I forgot about Duke.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Weak Greatone, may the rumors are correct that you are a Xavier fan.

 

[TheLongHaul]

Give the guy a break. The chances of there actually being another woman out there who would want to marry him are slim to none. Don't take a chance dude.

What are you talking about then?
