What would keep you from a BYU home game?

(assuming you had tickets, etc)?

On Sunday evening, while putting my 20-month-old son to bed, he protested, lunged for a hand-hold and completely threw my back out. I should've spent a day or two in bed letting my back heal, but I just didn't have the time. This week has been hectic at work - corporate and divisional CEOs in from NYC, a huge project deadline that's required a number of little fixes here and there, etc. So it's been lots of ice and ibuprofen during the day and Vicodin at night.

With the state of my back, I just can't justify going to the game. The bleachers would make things much worse, as would incessant standing/sitting/standing/sitting. So I'm staying home and watching the game on the mountain, icepack under my back and remote control in hand.

Kinda hard to believe it's come to this. As a freshman I went to the 1984 BYU-Wyoming game with walking pneumonia and a 103 degree fever...

If I were good enough to go to work, I would definitely go to the game.

This may say more about my dedication to my job compared to you than to my fandom compared to you.

Any other week, and I would've been home for at least a day or two.

On the bright side - I think I'll miss Church as well though. If I'm not well enough to go to a football game, I'm certainly not well enough to go to Church...

Hair appointment, grocery shopping, Family Guy re-run, leftover Chinese food, and a slight breeze, to name a few things.

Sorry, I know I'm not the intended audience for a question about a BYU home game.

A broken iPod.

If I lived in Lehi....nothing. Sack up and go to the stadium. Old people have the same concerns, but they still go.

Family vacation. I'm going to miss next week's USU game. The kids are out of school Thu, Fri, and Mon so it made the most sense. If it were TCU, I would have thought long and hard about traveling away on a home game weekend.

<----- That would make me miss a home game!

Something else Gnapper and I have in commen. A strange affinity for Lucy Pinder.

I already took that answer.

by the way, does anybody have an extra ticket for saturday? Maybe I can almost get in a fight with some abercrombie (or the contemporary equivalent) douche again.


But seriously, any extra tickets I can relieve you of?
