Well shit.  My wife is invited to a shower on game day. That starts at 3 fucking o'clock!!!!  I assume they (sort of like me) thought the game was going to be on Friday.  The kicker is the damn shower is at The Bowie on Rainey, and apparently there is no parking?!?!?!

So the wife want's me to drop her off, and pick her up.  I of course will adapt and overcome.  But what do you guys think the odds of the 2:30 kick vs the 7 pm kick?  I can say fuck it, you find parking. I guess alternatively... where the hell should I watch the game if I am playing chauffeur downtown if it's an early kick....

Get a fucking spine and then download the Uber app for the woman and send her on her way. This thread should be deleted as it weakens us all. 

I think I would rather say yes to one of the very few favors my wife of 38 years asks of me.  Of course I am not a panicky type... 😉. And, I fucking like her company more than that of others.  But thanks for the McCauley Caulkin point of view...

Yes, and tell her you've arranged a "car" for her and schedule and Uber black. Enjoy the rewards later for pampering her.

People who get married or have showers during college football season are not your friends. 
 

Send them one of these for the special occasion and never speak to them again.

I don’t give a shit if you’ve known the broad for 38 hours or 38 decades. If she’s too good for black car service, she’s a nightmare for life. If she likes black car service, get a grip and use Uber Black and it will be a far better treat for her than your old ass doddering around Rainey Street trying to locate her before Nicole disappears you for good.

Just because you were invited doesn't mean you have to show up. 

This. Or are they really your friends who said we hate the University of Texas and don't want you to experience joy.

But being serious.

Drop her off, book a room near by. Valet park, watch game, be lying in bed covered in roses.

Though I do enjoy assumptive relationship advice... 

It's probably a night game. But it could also be at 2:30. We're not sure yet.

 Best advice here is exactly the same thing that I said after reading #1.

Uber Black.

Sorry your wife doesn't drive, or alternatively the "shower" is going to involve mass quantities of alcoholic beverages or D9 gummies and she's gonna need a ride. I mean, if it was my problem, I'd already be in the doghouse for giving my wife shit when she seriously asked for such a "favor" for a Saturday afternoon in November, when she should know perfectly well I would be planning an all-day drinking session.

You might also want to point out to her that anyone who is dumb enough to plan a wedding "shower" on Thanksgiving weekend is likely to be someone with whom you really have little in common and would be best avoided for the remainder of your marriage. 

More than you wanted, no doubt, but the very idea caused a serious reaction over a goodly portion of Surly.

Oh, and one more time: Uber. Black.

I realize where I am and know I'm about to get flack for this, but this opinion is dumb. In a lot of places, spring and fall are about the only time it makes sense to get married. If it's a popular venue, you're taking one of the first open Saturdays you see. 

If your friends don't suck, it's going to be a good time. So, sorry people that you enjoy spending time with want to ply you with free alcohol and good food--and all you have to do is listen to a cringey story or two--at the expense of possibly missing one of the 13+ games that occur every single year.

It's just football.

Okay, first it's a wedding shower. 

Second, it's in Austin Texas and I'll go out on a limb here and guess OP's while isn't the only one whose married to Longhorn fan that was invited.

Third, not sure if you're aware but that game could very likely determine who makes a CFP and who doesn't. Moreover, it will likely decide who plays in the SEC championship game. Beyond that it's a renewal of on of the oldest rivalries in college football.

It's not UTSA vs Texas. There's potentially a conference and national title opportunity on the line. It's renewing an old rivalry.

To schedule fucking shower on the day of that game means they didn't think, at all, about the friends they invited. Granted it's a wedding shower (which are fucking dumb but..) which women typically attend still. None of the brides female friends give a shit about Longhorn football? No fucks were given about it being the Thanksgiving weekend when people are often out of town. No fucks were given about the husbands who do like Longhorn football might not be able to watch a massive gave because of honey do bullshit. Also, it's Thanksgiving weekend. Plans to see families in different cities may have had to be altered to accommodate this fucking day.

No... fuck those people. They're inconsiderate and think the world revolves around them. They don't actually care about their friends or they would have considered all these realities. They didn't. They can eabod

Now for OP...

You have choices to make in life. You can Uber Black it like a man.. or go for option 2... 

Get a hotel room. Find a bar nearby with food. Drop wife off, go snag some flowers, put them in the hotel room after checking in. 

Kindly ask the wife if you can eat downtown after at a bar while watching the game. If she pushes back because you've no spine, "surprise" her with a nice hotel room, be wise, have a massage or mani/pedi booked for her during the game. Go to hotel after, show wife flowers, send her ass to the spa, wach the game while she gets her spa on, profit.

I’d understand the dilemma if it was an actual wedding maybe but it’s a wedding shower..  we’re talking about practice, not a game, practice!  Just send her on her way and tell her to have a good time.

There is also this option. See if Nicole will act as her "bodyguard" and keep her safe from "intoxicated assholes". 

Share result with Surly.

6PM on ABC is my guess. 
 

Tell your wife to have a friend pick her up or get a new wife. She knows what this game means.

To be fair, they did before you said that…

It’s likely the night game. First game since 2011 and it should have both SEC Championship Game and CFP implications. If I were in your position, I’d assume night game. However, obviously prep for both situations. There are plenty of ways to make this work. Also tons of places to watch near Rainey. Even though it’s Surly, there is a lot of good advice in this thread.

Hotel Van Zandt is literally ON Rainey St.  and look at that, you can either reserve Saturday and if needed Friday night with the spa Suite for $370+ tax a night.

 

I would just pick Saturday, drop her ass off at whatever Rainey bar is happening at 2p. park in the Van Zandt garage, and see if you can check in early. if not fucking sit at the bar until 3 and then check in.

 

she would literally have to walk less than 2 blocks as long as Nichole doesnt get to her first.

aggy has apparently been testing out a drone light show this week (a totally original idea they thought up themselves!), so they're clearly banking on a night game. The TV networks have an opportunity to do the funniest thing possible...

I have an actual wedding to go to that evening for my wife’s cousin that starts at 4 and ends at 11. What’s worse is that it’s in south Louisiana and there won’t be a single other Longhorn there. What a kick in the nards. 

We have a new leader in the clubhouse.

A lot of you suggesting a private car/Uber Black/Hotel are assuming this guy wants to spend more than a few dollars in gas driving his wife. 

Not everyone is Surly 1%.

Correction: we actually assumed he would want to spend more than a few dollars in gas so that he can watch the game in peace. 

Also, Uber Black is like the price of 2-3 drinks at a bar at this point (thanks inflation!). If he can't afford that, he needs to get off Surly and sell his computer/phone/kidney.

We don't quite have all the facts yet Gentlemen.

First, OP and his wife have been married 38 blissful years. Which puts their age at what ... early to mid 60s.

A wedding shower?

So, inquiring minds what to know... whose shower is it and what relation do they have to the OP's wife?

Is it a child of a trusted friend?

Is it a friend of the OP's wife going for Wife No. 2? or 3? or 4?

Is it a nephew? Niece?

If the shower is just for a rando with whom the OP and his beloved wife have very few interactions...

FUCK 'EM AND FEED 'EM FISHHEADS!

GO HORNS.
