Ticket Dilemma

That mother ****er must have slipped through the cracks. Is it too late for a second vote? He obviously needs his ass kicked.

Like I said, send that pussy a message. Don't go. And tell yuor other season ticket friends not to go either. And if you do go. I would be giving him EAT **** AND DIE stares all night.

What is PDT?
 
Just don't go. There's no reason to have weddings in the fall.
 
I have a similar dilemma only not with GT tickets. I have Tennessee / Auburn tickets this weekend, but my wife has her class reunion this Saturday also. She graduated in a VERY small class of only 35, of which I figure only about 12-17 will actually show up at the event.

I went to GT/UNC, I want to go to UT/AU, I am going to GT/FSU and then I'll have GT/VT of course. 4 straight weeks. I also went to GT/Clemson AND UGAg/USuCk in the same week. AM I pushing things. Am I like a crack addict?

My wife is pretty patient with my football stuff, but I figure that may be way out on a limb. She doesn't know about the UT thing and I am just considering letting the other guys just go without me.
 
The problem with any fall wedding is not just trying to avoid the home game for your particular team this one season.... It's like the Gonorrhea, the gift that keeps giving. If you are married in the Fall, you will have your wedding anniversary during football season for the rest of your freaking life!!

Around 5 years in the marriage, I can just about guarantee that the vast majority of women don't want to spend their wedding anniversary at BDS (or any other college football event).

Fall weddings suck.
 
It could be worse. I had to go to a UGA wedding last weekend and had to miss the UNC vs. GT game. Not to mention, my wife had to wear a red bridesmaid dress with silver shoes because their wedding was UGA themed and the Groom's Cake was UGA with a bulldog next to it and a football on top. Don't even get me started...

Here's the deal. You put the tickets on craigslist (had to do this two years ago) and for everyone that responds, make sure they are GT fans. The good thing about craigslist is that you have to sell it to the person face-to-face. So you can figure out if they are GT fans right there. I coincidentally had to do this with some VT tickets two years ago. When I met the potential buyers, I asked the major, who some of their professors were to make sure they weren't lying, etc. After confirming they were GT fans/alumni, I sold 'em.

Then you can use $3.00 of the money you made selling the tickets to buy a wedding card that explains your disgust with the wedding. You don't give them a wedding present because of your inconvenience, you watch the GT vs. VT on your cell phone during the ceremony and the reception, and you drink as much booze as possible during the reception on their dollar.

As I said, it could be much worse. You could have to go to a UGA themed wedding where your wife has to wear UGA themed clothes in the bridal party and you have to listen to the f-ing UGA fight song at the reception and rehearsal dinner. Not fun.
 
You should give me your tickets for free. That is the only appropriate way to punish your douchebag friend.

I'm pretty sure there's something in the by-laws concerning this - let's revoke his alumni status. He's probably scared of BOR anyway, from all the stories.

Honestly, give them to some other guys your age that went to Tech, or give them to you buddies that are sitting in that area. They can sell them for face to one of their friends that is tailgating with them or something. I have a karma approach to football tickets - I rarely make anyone pay for them and give them to my friends that sit nearby, because you never know when you'll need an extra and one of your buddies will help you out.

Incredibly funny and depressing at the same time. I don't know how you made it through.

So, I have a friend getting married on 10/17 at 7pm, which is the date of the VT game. Unless it's at noon, which appears highly unlikely, I will need to sell my tickets.

Give us his email and we'll give him ****. He'll never know you passed it out.

At least it'll make him feel guilty, as he should feel. Seriously, he needs to realize and feel the error in his ways.

I remember when my now ex-step Dad got married to my Mom. He's a Tech grad (like me), and his daughters are Tech alumnae/current student. The only day they could marry was the day of the ACC championship game when we played Wake Forrest. So what did we do? We scheduled the wedding to be AFTER the football game... albeit our performance that day put a slight damper on the wedding... they got divorced a few months back... ayee...

Bottom line, getting married on a day of a GT football home game might be a very, very bad idea. I will never do this. I know because I've been there.
 
What an a$$hole dont go!!! No true friend would expect you too and no true tech fan would have his wedding on the same day as the VT/GT game.
 
A few years ago, Tech and UGA were both off the same week, and I read that there were more weddings that day than any other fall day in a long time.

Thank God that I do not have any Georgie friends. I would go in a white and gold tux if that was the case, but not during football season. I would send them a postcard or something.

If you get married around football season make sure that it is between the week of the ACCCG and the week that the bowls start.
 
What sort of church even sanctions a wedding in the fall? The ceremony is probably being performed by some hippie jackass anyway.
