Please help me settle an internal dilemma

Submitted by rainingmaize on November 2nd, 2018 at 2:02 PM

So in case you have been living under a rock, UM plays PSU this weekend. I really want to watch the game, but I have a potential conflict that I'm debating if I should skip out on or not. Sorry if there are better things to talk about, but I'm curious what y'all would go with. 

 

Conflict: Potentially cousins last HS football game (playoff game) 

Additional information: 

1.) I moved out to the West Coast last year (moved from Michigan), and met distant family out here (my grandpa's sisters family). Last year was my first time ever meeting them, but they have welcomed me with open arms, and I've been trying to make up for lost time, since I plan to be out here a while.

2.) Family lives 2.5 hrs from me, however playoff game will be played 15 min from my apartment. Because of distance, I don't see them a ton. I think I've only seen them on Thanksgiving. Mothers day weekend, Fathers day.

3.) I won't be in town for Thanksgiving this year. So I may not see them for a bit.

4.) Not particularily close with the cousin, Cousin's mom invited me

5.) Player in question is an important player on the team (starting RB)

6.) Michigan games are a family thing for me. My dad and brother have a regular group chat going during big games. 

7.) I don't have DVR.

Hate to say it, but for me, family is one of the few things that takes priority over Michigan Football. Go to your cousin's game and catch the Michigan game on replay or on-demand later. Cheer hard for your cousin and stay off social media and the interwebs.

I will be at the GVSU game, tailgating before so will DVR and check the phone hoping for the best.  Then I’ll watch the massacre around 11:30

What Would Harbaugh Do?

Besides trying to put pressure on the high school league to move the time of the game, I'm pretty sure he'd say: God and Family one-two, with Michigan Football a very close third.

I didn't read the post, but the following is always good advice:  Talk her into a threesome, then break up with her because she's a slut.

If the post isn't about how to break up with your girlfriend, then never mind, nothing to see here.
