You guys are lucky. At least you can skip/carry a radio/tv. The wedding I'm attending that day is my own. A year and a half ago, we specifically picked Sept. 25 at 6PM because EMU was going to be a lead-pipe lock for noon on BTN. :2004:

As a Buckeye fan of 40+ years and a husband of 26+ years I offer the following comments:

1) EMU is in for an embarrassing loss, but the pay check will help soothe their feelings.

2) Don't take too seriously the (partially tongue in cheek) arbitration/future divorce advice. Marriage requires a 0-100% commitment, i.e. you will give 100% even if you get nothing back. If you go into it thinking that you can get out if things get difficult, marriage will give you plenty of opportunities to do just that - especially on fall saturdays! Good luck, and remember, she is the most important thing, even more important than those guys in the Scarlet and Gray.

Sounds like a hell of a deal right? Can you imagine some of the reactions you'd get if you went around selling a business deal like that?

A couple more thoughts on the marriage thing;

1) make sure you aren't trapped in this road to Abilene paradox when you are making the decision.

2) Until you have kids you aren't really married. You are just two people who share bills. If it doesn't work out you keep one dog, she gets the other and your biggest worry is making sure she doesn't keep your record collection.

3) Once you have kids then its officially over. Metaphorically speaking you might as well take every second of life you have left on this earth and go put it in the jar on top of the refrigerator because it no longer belongs to you. She and the kids will let you know when you can have some of it.

Lastly, just look at this picture a good long time and remember this shows popularity wasn't just based on Kelly being hot. It struck a chord with a lot of people. Married people. Men.

Hope it helps and good luck to you (whoever it is getting married, I lost track)

There is a great deal of wisdom in this post. Sadly, it can only be appreciated when it is too late (especially point #2).

For those of you who don't have kids yet, the following might give you some vague conception of what your life will be like when you do (and incidentally it will give the discussion a tangential connection to the thread topic): In the 4th quarter, when the Buckeyes are up by 8 touchdowns and the Hurons/Eagles have stopped trying: Buckeyes = your wife after you have kids :: Hurons/Eagles = you

The only thing is... if I had it to do over again I wouldn't change a thing. That's how important your kids will be to you when it's your turn (and assuming you have a soul).
