I bought 9 tickets for friends .. a friend who I'm giving two said he only needed one, so I called up a few MU friends to give them an early xmas present: a freebie to the biggest game of the year.
Calls:
1. Not home
2. Ooh, I'd love to, but I got a guy coming over to watch the game .. can't get a hold of him to stop him.
3. Not home
4. Ooh, I really want to, but my kid has (insert kid thing here) until 1:30. (This is why mu_hilltopper has already said NO EXTRACURRICULARS for his 5 month old.)
But this one takes the cake:
5. Um, wow. Gosh. Today's not good. I HAVE SEVERAL BOXES OF UNOPENED CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS I NEED TO PUT UP.
(I needed a good 20 seconds to answer that, as, like a cartoon character, my top blew off and little birds flew out of my ears.)
Now, to her credit, she isn't a basketball fan, but did go to MU with me. I explained, dear sweet uninformed alum, THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL. If you EVER go to a game, THIS IS THE GAME.
Nope. No go. Maybe if I had a few days to prepare, she says. But, but, you have 4 hours!!! That's plenty of time. Nope.
Wow. Now that's someone who doesn't have the fever.
LET'S GO WARRIORS!!!
