Last night we did dinner and trivia with my MSU grad wife's MSU friends and some of their MSU alumni club friends. Without consulting me Mrs H accepted an invitation to join them at a watch party Friday at a pub in TC

This is a game I'd rather not watch at a UM watch party, much less be the only guy of blue in a sea of green. She still seems to assume I'm going. If it was in the neighborhood I'd tell her to go herself, but it's in TC, and she hates driving in the dark in snowy weather even when she hasn't had a couple pints. Bad night vision and skid management skills. I'd worry about her.

Should I go or file now?

That sounds awful. My wife has invited her very religious family over for Thanksgiving and the weren't leaving until Sun. They haven't been back for Tgiving since then. 2019 game. This year an old friend of hers is struggling with depression and she invited him to stay with us for a week. I've been the guy once. I told her she better warn him as I don't hold back at home. He just sat quietly the entire game as he understands. He's a big bears fan so knew to STFU. * - By Bmh75 January 28, 2026 at 09:51:22 PM
Im assuming you care about this more as a M alum/fan than she does about MSU bball. Just tell her ud prefer to watch it at a neutral bar or M bar with her but happy to meet up with them after and maybe catch the next non-M MSU watch party. - By toffee January 28, 2026 at 08:00:28 PM
There is not a universe in which I could attend that event. Like you said, I can't even watch stuff like that around other diehard M fans * - By wingedvictory January 28, 2026 at 07:49:46 PM
I wouldn�t do that for $500. Crazy to even consider going * - By BBA January 28, 2026 at 07:31:06 PM
- I bet they'll be totally cool. Although I wouldn't want to be the center of their "fun" ribbing even if in good faith. Like GR Blew and his law partner having fun with the Wolverine Irish rivalry.* - By jjwalker January 28, 2026 at 09:02:35 PM
Oh come on, just go. It's only sports, which don't matter in the slightest. Especially at times like this. They'll probably be cool.* - By jjwalker January 28, 2026 at 07:12:25 PM
Compromise. Drive her, watch at TC UM bar and she covers for you. * - By MacGruber January 28, 2026 at 06:46:26 PM
- Which is pretty much what I wrote below* - By kccambo January 28, 2026 at 07:12:48 PM
- This is the way. Frame it as you not wanting to be a buzzkill w her friends.* - By LKLIII January 28, 2026 at 06:53:43 PM
Married 36+ years. I would not feel obligated in any way to attend that watch party under those ciircumstances. 1) Go to your local Applebees or grill to watch together; or 2) Drive her over, go to your own bar/home, then drive back to pick her up.* - By kccambo January 28, 2026 at 06:31:02 PM
- Not bad. Checked UM club site, looks like Little Fleet is a UM watch site. * - By hurryup January 28, 2026 at 06:45:52 PM
  - I'll call Little Fleet to confirm. * - By hurryup January 28, 2026 at 06:50:43 PM
    - Also, the weather may truly suck on Friday, and that alone may preclude either of you heading out anywhere.* - By kccambo January 28, 2026 at 07:15:11 PM
She Should know. You don�t need to go.* - By Biglake January 28, 2026 at 06:29:16 PM
Stay home and watch alone. Going sounds like a version of hell* - By Rich January 28, 2026 at 06:24:59 PM
- NFW she's driving there and back on her own in this weather, nor would I let her. - By hurryup January 28, 2026 at 06:35:26 PM
  - Sounds like it could be crazy to drive anywhere. When it's cold, icy, or snowing... I wouldn't go 5 houses down the block. Not safe even walking in that shit at my age!! * - By you-of-m January 28, 2026 at 06:50:27 PM
I'd rather put my car in a ditch than attend that event. My screaming "F*** you Izzo" wouldn't go over well anyway * - By Spirit January 28, 2026 at 06:24:17 PM
- That's the ticket. I'll agree to take her and then put the car in a ditch half a block from home. * - By hurryup January 28, 2026 at 06:30:00 PM
  - Billmich would be proud of that plan * - By Spirit January 28, 2026 at 06:30:55 PM
    - Zmed's interest may have perked up.* - By kccambo January 28, 2026 at 07:16:05 PM
    - LOL. Or make sure you are low on gas so you have to stop right after leaving home. You might accidentally have the hose spray gasoline all over your pants.* - By Rich January 28, 2026 at 06:32:43 PM
      - The Billmich stories are nearly as plentiful as HWSNBN stories * - By Spirit January 28, 2026 at 06:34:16 PM
        
        I don't remember this one. I do remember the big one, of course, but getting myself busted for soliciting a minor, while close to a toss-up, seems a little worse than attending the MSU event. * - By hurryup January 28, 2026 at 06:48:23 PM
