The Front Row

If they win, then she gets to go shopping at the Easton Mall or some other stores. It will cement your marriage and she will become a passionate TOSU fan.

Let fall Saturdays be her time with the girls, that way you get to watch the Buckeye game in peace or with friends. Seriously, starting at the end of every August, the rule in the Patel household is that Mrs. leaves by 8 so I can enjoy Gameday, etc., and is gone through the end of whenever the game ends. If she takes baby boy with her, cool, if not, he and I watch the Bucks together, and I manage his nap schedule.

Some days, it simply is better to lead a separate life for the day. Fall Saturdays are one of them.

I married my wife last Sept. and she has no interest in sports, and I mean like only interest is Lamar Odom because he is marries to that Sheman Karadshian.

There are 3 things I do to help.

1) Alcohol -- Have drinks and she will come.
2) Clothes -- She is in retail so I try and buy her "fashionable" sports clothes.
3) When all else fails bribe her with a purse!!!

All though it sounds rough I wouldn't change it for the world, even though my sports watching has been cut down significantly.

Good Luck with all the wedding plans!!!

You will find it harder to explain football to someone whose mind is not altered. With a few drinks she will more likely see the genius in you. Worked for me.

I'm getting married this Saturday and I do have some helpful advice. My fiance is an OSU grad and works for OSU in the medical field. We get season tickets and we go to every game. She knows I enjoy it and she wants to go along because I WANT TO GO. If it were up to her we would sell the tickets.

1. Include her in some sporting stuff, not just football
2. Bring her along slowly, don't over do it.
3. Make it social, have some drinks when ur watching the games.
4. Most important of all-----let her ask questions and don't talk "down" to her. Let her figure some stuff out on her own and ask you questions!

Good Luck!

Yes. My wife could care less about football. In fact she is from Lincoln, Nebraska. To get a handle on the situation, I've learned the true meaning of compromise. During the season she puts up with my watching OSU football. And in the off-season I watch Househunters and Design On a Fucking Dime with her. Yikes! It sucks, but it works. Good luck pal.

And congrats.

watch the games with a group, tallgate and if you take a bus trip to an away game and if that doesn't do anything rethink the marriage thin.

Start

First mistake was to take her to this spring game. It was a great experience for you, but her first experience should be pleasant weather, cool stuff like TBDBITL with a Script, good tailgating and decent tickets. Sounds like she's open to be a part of your Saturday's, make it as easy and fun as possible for her. If that fails, make sure your kids play a brass instrument and try out for the OSUMB. If they make the band, she'll be lined up in front of St. John Arena at 7 am game day.

Just tell her if she will watch football, you will give her sex a couple times a day! Win-win situation as I see it.
