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.

That seems fair. I�m sure I�ve watched games with friends who had opposite rooting interests, but I can see how a watch party would be a bit much.

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
