Am I alone? Is my wife right?

Much to the chagrin of my wife, I made plans to go the Final Four with my friends. Then after Saturday, I flew my son to Phoenix so he could join the party Monday night. Then Tuesday, my wife got picked up at home at 4:30am and was in Phoenix by noon. My wife and son got the day together before he flew back to Ohio. We stayed at the Biltmore till yesterday. Home at midnight last night.

I managed to hang out with my best friends, my son, watch UCONN win #6, and give my wife a day with our son and a great spring break all at the same time. #winning
 
My wife was having contractions to give birth to our first child on March 20, 2014. Problem was, we were in a 1st round nailbiter against St. Joe's that night that could have made our 2014 title a never-was. So I remained dutifully focused on the game. (In my defense, there had already been a couple days of on and off contractions so I wasn't sure this was go time). Brimah hits a couple big, unlikely free throws and we pull out the win. That night we headed to the hospital and my daughter was born the next day. She still holds a grudge that "the uconn game was more important than me going into labor!" In the end we got a daughter and the 2014 title. Win-win, I say.
"Well, honey, we could always have another baby…"

I love this story.
 
I have a four yr old son and a six year old daughter at home. The day of the elite eight game against Illinois was a big birthday party for my son. I told my wife to make sure happy birthday was done by 5:45 PM so me and the fellas have time to get downstairs to do our pregame shot before the 6:09pm tip. Then add in , going out/having people over for all the big east tourney games and the March madness games. Wifey was cool about it (for the most part- lol) not ez to do with a 4 and 6 at home. But I pulled it off.
 
I had 2 children with my ex wife. Told her the 3 happiest days of my life were when they were born and March 29, 1999. She said - “ what about our wedding day?” I told here not even close. She was rather upset.
 
So let me guess, you have three kids, all born in Jan with a fourth potentially on the way? Kudos to you. My wife hates sports.
MrsRI doesn’t really like sports. Doesn’t watch anything else. But she lives breathes and dies with UConn. She pretty much refers to Clingan and Alex as her kids (we are old enough now where 100 percent plausible besides the height).

I love the Masters. I'm a huge Tampa Rays fan/baseball fan. But all I want to do is think and talk about UConn basketball. Even to people who don't care about it at all.

My wife said "you've always been obsessed with UConn ball, but this a new level. And no, we are not naming our son Steph or Donovan, so stop asking"
This convo has happened frequently. I read every article. Rewatch videos. Check the yard first thing in the morning. I strut around town like I'm cock of the walk.

Please, tell me how you've been spending your last 3 weeks. I want to show her that there are people way worse than me.

Help save a marriage. Thanks
You watching the rays and the masters over your wife? Dude. She gone .

As far as my old lady. Good with UConn, giants, Celtics and big baseball games.

If I try to watch soccer she bites my head off. Golf as well.
 
This new “free agency / GM” part of college basketball has me doing hourly checks to see who hit the portal, who’s visiting who, and who are we interested in. I’m talking from final four weekend til now. Complete new level of obsession.
It’s more important than highs school recruiting. How dumb is high school to cover? Kid visits, he has to make a dumb decision with a hat.

Portal is for serious players. That is where championships are won.
