Congratulations on your win and glad to see you returning to form for the stretch run.

FYI: ASU Coach Brady said the ASU will have the services of their suspended forward JeJuan Brown for the game Saturday but said nothing about their injured guard, Daniel Bryant. If both return they would have 10 players available and they will need them to have a chance against you guys Saturday.

Anyone have any useful tips on making a sister-in-law, her small child and wife want to go to this after attending a 1 p.m. hockey game required of said wife's work?

Tell your wife if she doesn't go to the game that you that you will hold it against her the rest of her life and that everytime you get in an argument with her, no matter what the argument is about, that you will bring up the fact that she didn't go to this game with you. Once the shocked look appears on her face reinforce it by saying "And no, I'm not kidding" then just walk away and punch a hole in the nearest wall. Works every time.

The real problem is Hot Springs. She is fine with this being an annual thing, but when a regular game conflicts with something else, she immediately turns the week long sojourn to the land of hot hoops into a deadly weapon.

So, you are saying you will attend a hockey game in support of your wife's work, but she will not attend a UNT basketball game to support something you would like to do? Interesting. Leave the wife, the sister-in-law and kid at home and get yourself to the Super Pit for the game. Grab a friend if you want and go! What's the deal with that? Sounds easy to me and pretty darn accommodating at that. I assume you are kidding about all this, right?

She will not attend this game because her sister is driving up from Houston with a 5 year old in tow to see an actual performance by the team she coaches during the Stars game. This has nothing to do with the Stars game, but the team needs a coach to supervise it before, during and after. When this is finally all over and the last kid has gone home, it will be evening and there will be an expectation to entertain the family and I am stuck being included in that since we have guests.

Does it make me want to die inside? Yes, but it's also not very negotiable unless I decide game 8 of the conference schedule is where I decide to put the hammer down, devil-be-damned.

To add a new variable to the mix, I may be working from about 6 pm tonight through noon tomorrow with little break, putting me further in the hot seat. We have also not seen each other much for about two weeks because of conferences and business travel. I've drug her to all sorts of football, basketball and related events in the past and even coined a phrase making fun of her school that won't die 3 years later. She's done hockey season tickets for NHL playoff rounds, goes to about 10 baseball games with me each summer, finally saw NT win a game in person for the first time this season against WKU and is standing triumphantly in the background with me in the photo against OSU from a few years ago. You even got to comment on her butt at the Ball State watching party. If you question her devotion again, I will cut you. :)

This battle is lost, but hopefully someone has a creative, or at least funny, idea.

NO SIR...I "quoted" about your hand on her butt....I said NOTHING about her butt! Your memory is hazy at best! :lol: I question not her devotion...but your position within the "pecking order" in your castle...excuses, excuses, that's all I ever get from you... :lol::lol:

      Army Cadets?

      There are usually at least some cadets at away games -- usually cadet leadership and cadets from the general area of the game. The pep band also travels, but I don't know if they travel to all games. The Army team will go over to the visitor's seating area for the playing of Alma Mater after the game just as they do at home games.

      Minnesota

      "We knew this game was gonna be kinda one of the ones we didn't want to play..." "Obviously, Minnesota's probably gonna be much better than the last two teams we played." Minnesota defeated ORU 80-57 Their Field Goal Percentage was 57.7% Their 3 Point Percentage was 61.1% They had 9 total turnovers Defense will clearly be the key to the game.

      Prediction vs Army

      I just can't see our defense having their best game ever against a ranked opponent whose strength on offense lines up perfectly with our weakness on defense. I'd guess we punt 4 times and they punt once and we lose 63-42. Should still be an exciting game like 2007 vs Navy.

      Army Week Unis

      I was thinking about wearing my Viet Nam combat fatigues to the game Saturday but they didn’t fit me. Imagine that. I was shocked I tell ya! Go Mean Green! Beat Army!

      Army Cadets?

      Does Army bring a section of cadets for away games? I know they have some traditions and things they do at home, but didn't know if they did anything at away games.
