Plan your year around your respective schools sports schedule?

I'm talking vacations, weddings, business trips, conception of another life, etc.?

Yeah, its the offseason, so these stupid threads pop up. I just want to make a point to one of my wife's friends that a lot more people do this than just me.

Exactly! Or someone who would get offended if someone said "thanks but no thanks" in regards to their wedding or couples trip to Mexico.

Absolutely around football season.
When my daughter was engaged (which never came to fruition) the proposed wedding date was to be in the fall and was planned around open dates.
BTW, in the SEC this is as much the women as the men.

A buddy of mine is having his wedding on September 1, and said he would probably be kissing the bride around 7.

To top it off it is in Senatobia, MS, a 4+ hour drive for myself. Anybody know anything about this place?

Totally irresponsible and disrepectful to ask people to go to a freaking wedding on a football Saturday.

I got married in July, 1st kid born in February, 2nd in May.

My wife and I have have a standing rule, September thru January are off limits, so is June. Feb thru May is required to have full internet access.

Arkansas football and Arkansas baseball is what we do.

Unfortunately for my wife, I do Aggie Football, Basketball and Baseball so we have a small window.

No shite! He is a Vol fan who lives in Nashville, his girl is from Collierville, getting married in some frickin field in Senatobia.

He knows my pain though, he is working to get the game at the reception. I am not sure how to handle this if he doesnt, dvr the game and avoid the tube and radio til I get home on Sunday, maybe catch a replay of it late night, or give in and get the score when his shitshow is done?

ETA: To reply to the OP, my wife knows Saturdays in the fall are not a time to bother me.

I'm a little ashamed to say it, but yeah, I plan pretty much everything around Razorback sports.

I print out the SEC schedule every year to plan ahead. Most people I know wouldn't think of scheduling a Fall wedding. Good way to annoy friends. I usually go to 3-4 Bama games and Thursday nights and Saturday are reserved for college football. Tailgating includes watching other games. Hey, remind her we only get so many games per year. Gotta make the most of the season.

I even make at least 50% of my wardrobe purchases with something like "oh hell, that raincoat will be pimp in case I'm at a football game and its raining" etc..etc..etc.. or I need a few more pairs of good shorts for baseball season, etc..

Unless I'm going to watch the game at the stadium, before I plan a trip, I make sure there will be a place for me to watch the game before I commit.

Also, my dumbass friend got married last year on the Auburn-Florida game. I streamed it though my iPhone, ran the earpiece up the back of my dress, and the earbuds were hidden by my hair. All of my friends were waiting for me to scream out "shite" or "frick" during bad plays; apparently I made some funny faces during the prayer The people surrounding me could faintly hear the game as well.

Football is more important than anything. If my presence is mandatory, I'll have earphones in.

Sister in law got married at the beginning of Dec last year the weekend LSU v UGA and the OSU game. the wedding was catholic and we all had our phones out and updating constantly. there was a quarter of us in the bar watching the games instead of schmoozing. was her second wedding so we didn't feel bad for ditching 3 hours of the reception.
Moral of story: if you have a wedding at the end of football season expect all the non gay males to be watching the tube.
