Girlfriend help from the boneyard

[CL82]

This.

Don't listen to any of these other fools.

I don't care what you say to her, your girlfriend hears: "a basketball game is more important than me on my big special day." BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Keep your mouth shut and DVR the game. Then SUNDAY mention to her that you have a game to watch, you DVR'd it saturday because being with her on valentines day was much more important. Then you get "isn't that thoughtful" points.

Bah, it's a "Hallmark holiday." Tell her she can cut the crusts of the sandwiches she'll need to make for the game to make them heart shaped, if she wants...oh and that you need another beer.

Compromise - it's the key to a successful marriage.

Tomorrow night is a big snowstorm so how about this: "since it's going to be dangerous to drive tonight, I ordered a catered dinner for us from your favorite restaurant". Then later after dinner you flip the TV on and say " holy smoke, it's the UCONN game, had no idea, maybe I'll watch just a few minutes OK?" Make sure you have an amazing gift in hand for after the game.

It's 85 and sunny where I live. I don't think the snowstorm excuse will work

It seems like some guys here are flirting with huskyhaven, and this brings about a very important question. Has anyone on the Boneyard ever hooked up? Now that's a thread I'd really enjoy LOL

OT: Boneyard Hookups

While this isn't exactly what you were asking ................My best buddy and I actually met on the Boneyard many moons ago. I can't remember which iteration of the Yard it was but I jokingly posted i was hosting a NCAA tourney game watch party in Incline Village, NV and some random dude posted saying he lived here and was going to show up. While he didn't show up that night he did respond to a later post offering great seats at the regionals in PHX in 2004 for anyone who wanted them. He met up with me and a few buddies there and has been like a brother for the past decade. I call him my online romance.

It is absolutely a Hallmark Holiday, but as long as you aren't forced to go out for dinner over this weekend, who cares?

My niece's birthday is on Valentines Day and we going down to Jersey for the weekend. That pretty much takes care of tomorrow night. Even if I can't figure out my brother in law's entertainment system, I still have my tablet.

If we go out for Valentine's day it will be next weekend, with the other veterans. Tonight, I'm making chocolate covered strawberries (You see the prices at Edible Arrangements this week? No thanks.) and we are probably eating leftovers (I think) between my son's bath and bed time.

By and large, I am able to do whatever I choose in terms of entertainment (i.e. live sporting events with my friends and taking at least 6 full fall Saturdays for a 3 hour football game). Two days out of the year is not a steep trade off.

 

[Deepster]

Oh goodness. Just maybe you haven't been around real women. Hans Sprungfeld even knows me from church. . Bye

You clearly didn't pay attention to the part where I warned you that the more you protested, the crazier you would sound.

We all know SMU is a huge game tomorrow. It also happens to be played at 8:00 p.m. on Valentine's Day. Any ideas on how I can convince my Venezuelan girlfriend, who knows nothing about college basketball, to stay in and watch the game on Valentine's day?

Here's a novel idea... make big plans for Sunday.... and just ask to watch it on Saturday.
or...
You can always tape it. You watching it.... will not influence the outcome - no matter what you think. (Just wear the red, white and blue underwear with the little Huskies on it - that'll be good enough.)

 

[huskyhaven]

You lost me at "church."

I attend a church my friend belongs to now and then. She introduced me to someone who is also a Husky fan and found out he posts on this god forsaken place.

 

[TRuconnfan]

No problem. I say if a guy I'm dating can't watch the game I'll dump him. Dated a guy during the champ run and drank up a storm. Wouldn't you think that would be great? No, he dumped me.
I buy tickets at the last minute for games at the XL which are singles in the season ticket holders section. Great seats. I sat next to a guy and chatted all game about sports etc... He said I'm a guys dream. Oh well....

Im with you can't believe how many guys I dated who hated sports and had problems with me watching them all the time. What is wrong with them?! Lol... Finally met my now husband who wasn't into them but knew how important they were to me so he gave them all a try and now gets into some. When he's had enough he will go play the xbox. He knows tomorrow I'll be watching both games and we will squeeze a nice dinner in between.
So I say be honest with her up front, as others mentioned if she can't deal with it then dump her.

PS: valentines is a scam anyway as long as your spending time together that's all that should matter!

Oh Lord. Did you just do that?

Do what?

9 pm

Pretty sure Gringo's in Venezuela, and it's 30 minutes ahead of ET. Smart man setting expectations, and giving himself an extra 1/2 hour to settle in for the Huskies. He is going to tell Señorita Gringo 8 pm tipoff, local time.

Your solution is simple my friend. Make up some sappy about how you want to celebrate as if you were spending Valentine's Day in her native Venezuela. They're 30 minutes ahead of us so make a 5:30 Applebee's reservation, wine and dine her until 7:30 and you'll be home by 7:45.

Pour her a nice glass of sparkling wine tainted with Tylenol PM and you'll be good. She may not nod off until the first TV time out but you're gonna have to give a little for this to work. After we win, wake her up and see if she'll celebrate with you.

Either that or break up until Sunday.

EDIT: Didn't see the post above mine to see that you're actually in Venezuela. Tylenol PM at 6:30 or you're going to have to break up until Sunday.

Wait... for the game or for... you know what...I don't need to know.. nevermind.

Its supposed to be snowy here in CT tomorrow afternoon. I'm doing lunch, its the lovey duvvy stuff afterwards that I may also need some advice on. When I was younger I could use my knockout sex method, and watch the game in peace. However now its a movie first, then fireplace and all that "I want your attention" stuff that scares me for tomorrow night.

I think I might do my fake argument routine, then when the game ends say I'm sorry and resume activities. If they when she gets lucky, if they lose then she feels the pain.

 

[UCweCONN]

Two words - SPANISH FLY

 

[uconnfan68]

I am so lucky. My gf who just gave birth to our first about 3 weeks ago reminded me that the game was on at 9 and asked if we could go out to dinner early so i can be home in plenty of time to catch the game.

Keepa!

Funny post....but I'm not in Venezuela. My girlfriend is from Venezuela, I'm in Central America.

Valentine's Day has reached Central America? F^cking Hallmark!

Tell her a Chupacabra snatched you up for two hours then.

 

[uconnfan68]

a) The more you protest that you're crazy, the more crazy you're going to sound. I'm just warning you.
b) Iron Mike is neither Iron or really named Mike. Not sure you're helping your cause here, honey.

lol, had to sign in to 'like' an Iron Mike reference.

Congratulations. Boy or girl?

Thanks! A healthy 7lb baby boy named Mason. My absolute pride and joy.

Wow, you are in the wrong place for relationship advice but here you go. Valentine's Day is not the day to assert your Husky obsession. Make it her day and you will far happier in the long run but let her know that you are giving up the game for her. Also let her know in some kind way that she shouldn't get used to it.

This is the worst advice ever. On all counts. I hope someday you find the mason jar your testicles are trapped away in.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about both of you, not just the woman...so, if she cares about you and wants to show it on Valentine's Day, then she's gotta let you watch the game...and if you care about her, then the rest of the day you've got to do whatever it is that pleases her

I really hope so, although it would probably lead to some weird stuff being said in the heat of the moment.

"Throw me around like Jeff Adrien in the paint baby"

"Let me see those testiculos"

"Let's Role Play! You be Calhoun, I'll be Coach K and you can pound me like it's 99/04"

Exactly that's why today is going to be so special for me. She's getting her hair done as we speak so I get to be alone for 3 hours. Then we're going to CT for my buddies wife's 50th BDay party. Because it's going to be fun, I'm going to LET my wife drive so I can get lit up and we can be safe coming home in time to watch the game!

Love to share Valentines Day!

Both of you? I'm not sure women see it that way.

 

[jleves]

I'm in a unique situation - my wife and I work together. Her cubicle is about 20 steps from my office door. We drive to work together. We drive home together. 90% of the time we have lunch together. So my valentines day gift is 2.5 hours away from me between 6:00 and 8:30 when I watch the game in my home office. A bonus is the office is about 7 minutes from the flower district in downtown LA so for $70 she got three dozen of the freshest long stem roses arranged in a vase delivered by me to her desk Thursday morning so everyone could walk by all day and admire them.

That's great! You are about to enter into a great part of life. Demanding but so rewarding. Remember to enjoy every minute of it. Even the 3AM change/feed. Mason is a great name but it is a little disappointing that there isn't a husky reference there in the year following a NC. Please tell me his middle name is Shabazz.
