As all of you know this weekend kicks off college football. ND/Ga Tech, OSU/GA, Tenn/Cal and so on. Anyway, my wife gets Braves tickets for Saturday. We've all been this year, but not the 6 of us as a family. Game time is 3:55. I really don't want to go, but.....it's the wife.
Should I "A"-suck it up and go. or "B" - see if she could find a friend of the kids who could go.

I'd rather go shop for clothes with the wife then sit through a baseball game.

Despite what brophy said, lol, there are worse things than going to a baseball game with family. I'd bite the bullet here.

Baseball is as close to my heart as soccer.

I love baseball...but not enough to miss the opening day of college football.
BUT, suck it up buddy. I had to go to a baptism during the start of the NFL draft...

Bite the bullet, go with family...you only have limited time with them....but I would DVR every game and watch it later.

Bite the bullet? I'd rather eat one than watch baseball.... But I'd go anyway for the kids and hook up every TV in the house to record...>LOL

The kids grow up awfully fast. Go to the baseball game and enjoy the experience. It may become a memory that you can share the rest of your lives. There'll be more college games next week.

sell/hawk the tickets and use the money to bbq and watch football with the family. what better way to bond with the family than football??? win/win situation (not to mention the fact that you wouldn't have to watch baseball in the process)

Did Mama know it is opening week end? If so, I think she should have consulted you. If not, Suck it up and enjoy the day with them. You can record Saturday and catch the next ones.

I love baseball- fields they make great scrimmage areas- perfect grass and so on. Go to the game. Your mind will be calling plays and forrmationing for your next opponent anyway. Why not do it with beer and hot dogs.

Thanks for all the encouraging, if not misguided, advice.
I'm going to end up going. I actually do like baseball. Monday is Labor day, no school, so we're meeting then to game plan. That leaves me Sunday to watch film. I've seen our next opponent scrimmage, they run a 3-5, so I've got an idea of what we're doing already.
Oh yeah, it should be BEERS and HOTDOG.

My brother got married the same weekend we played our arch rival. The rehearsal dinner was THE NIGHT OF OUR HUGE GAME. I was the best man!!!!!!
My wife "sat in" for me! That was big of her.
