A Concerned Citizen for Change
It's getting out of control folks. Every fall it ravages our hopes and dreams. No, I'm not talking about gas prices or the war in Iraq or anything that's actually important. I'm talking about fall weddings. Let's get one thing straight: 90% of your wedding guests at a fall wedding are totally pissed that they are there (statistic may be inaccurate by 10 to 90%). There are only so many fall Saturday's to go around people! After you and you and you and your friend’s friend all get f'n married over the fall, guess what? I haven't seen a lick of College Football.
This fall is truly Armageddon for Chrisgocomment. This is going to be one of the most fascinating Michigan Football season ever, and guess what? I might as well be in a coma because I'm not going to see shit. The $1,000,000,000 I spent on season tickets is a total waste at this point.....I'm simply just holding my seats for a fee.
Check it out: on August 30th Michigan will run on the field for the first time under Coach Rodriguez. Who would miss this game??? Me, that's who. Flippin' wedding.
On September 20th Michigan will defiantly not lose. That's mainly because they aren't playing a game....but.....think of all the great games I could see if I was at home! Nope, I'm going to some stupid ass wedding. Balls.
On October 11th Michigan will take on Toledo. Sure, not a great game, BUT....we could win! Yep, God Damn Wedding. I'm out.
On October 18th Michigan will take on Penn State for what will no doubt be their 44th straight win in the series. Sure, the game is in Happy Valley so I won't be blowing my tickets...but still...God made HD TV for a reason. And that reason was College Football. Guess where I'll be. If you said a piece of S wedding you are da winna.
So there you go. 4 of our precious Saturdays this fall are buried in deep deep ass. So I implore you, people of America, I'm just one man, please stop with these weddings. College Football is just too important for you to start putting yourself in front of it. You aren't that cool, schedule your weddings for February...there's nothing to do then anyways.
I feel your pain. I'm in the Marine Reserves and always have to miss a couple of the best games of the year in September, October, and November for training.
Luckily I had to miss the Oregon game last year for the same reason, so I was able to avoid the tears of sadness at least until I saw how depressed everyone was when I got back to AA.
Better than the girl who thinks she gets football, only she totally does not get football, yet insists on constantly opening her mouth and telling you about football. I'll take blissful ignorance over that 8 days a week.
I lived in Asia for 9 years (I am old) after undergrad, so I get it. Cricket, soccer, rugby, but damn if you can find some real football. Other good things, though. Damn good sushi in Tokyo, for example. Had a lot of fun in Tokyo when I travelled there.

Yeah, brother. I watched the '97 Super Bowl while living over in Asia, and as a lifelong Packer fan, I had to watch alone in the middle of the night. Woke up a few neighbors watching that one.
Have you had the argument yet where the Euro/Aussies tell you how our football players are wimps because they wear pads? Usually some little 160 pound eurotrash dude who played rugby 10 years ago telling me that. Fools, all of 'em. Not even fun to watch with those guys in the bar with you, if you can somehow get it to the right channel.
When I lived there, satellite tv was in its infancy, so I missed a lot of games. At least you can watch them now. No gamecast, no streaming, it sucked.
