Anyone else in hot water with the Mrs?
I gambled by watching the game within earshot of the better half and lost. My F-laced outbursts both good (Poole) and bad (Mo chin foul, MAAR missed lay up) brought my lovely but non-sports understanding wife of 8 years to startled tears, soon followed by a blubbering "You have to hold yourself to a higher standard of comportment" lecture. She wasn't wrong. I was pretty bad. It felt so good. I'm still smiling. Jordan Poole. Texted a buddy and he informed me he too was in hot water with his wife! Good times.
Lesson: If you marry someone whose college sports passion is less than 10% of yours, watch the game in the same zip code at your own peril.
Anyone else earn spousal heat tonight over some short term turrets?

Daughter a Spartan, ( soon to be also a Eastern Michigan Huron, I think it has to do with the colors of green and white as the school colors where she teaches are also green and white) , son a Michigan Man. Wife leans to Sparty. She watched the game with me and let out an excited scream of happiness when that shot splashed through! Then she insisted I put on ESPN after to watch the replays. Maybe there is some hope to pull her from the dark side and make her True Blue!

My girlfriend is in Tennessee visiting her cousins, I texted her with excitement and glee!! She promptly asked if they had won....right after I sent her a video of Poole's shot. St. Patty's day, amirite?

We (they) have a rule (for me): No yelling at the TV after bedtime. When I eventually came to bed, wife asked, "Win or lose?" I said, "We won on a buzzer-beater." She said, "I wasn't sure from the sound you made."
Best thread ever.
Thank god for the internet.
I was all alone with my guilt when this kind of stuff happened in the past.
She literally can't watch a M game without shreiking at the TV. Has to wait and watch the replay only if they win.
