Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

I promise this is Saints related, just hear me out.....

Ive been dating my lady friend for many years now, yet this Thursday I beleive it will all come to an end.....She is a Colts Fan my friends...yes, a Colts fan.....

I have decided to suspend our relationship from now til friday, pending the outcome of the game (Saints win=we are fine, saints lose=maybe we should see other people)

Am I in the wrong?

See if she can name at least 5 players to find out what kind of fan she really is....

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

Rivalries should be fun not the end of the road. I don't know how close you guys are and how seriously competitive your mindset is, but a lil good natured teasing is actually fun. Take it for what it's worth. I dated a girl that was an LSU fan and I am a UNO/Tulane fan. We teased each other about the game when they played but it was fun natured no one ever took it too far. I also dated a packer fan in '02 and we talked a little trash before the game and after the game i never heard from her again :). It's isn't that bad atleast she isn't an ATL fan. That's a deal breaker right there.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

You're considering leaving her because she's a Colts fan... hmm... you sure that's the only problem in this relationship? You've been dating for a couple of years and if it came down to this... that's sad. I'd pick my fiancee over the Saints anyday... but then again she wouldn't make me choose. Even if she were a Falcons fan, it wouldn't make any difference to me.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

My girl is a Who Dat thru and thru...just don't ask her to name more than 3 players.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

my brother lives in indy and has become a colts fan. we just have an understanding. with manning being a home-boy i can pull for the colts any day except on the days that they play the saints... then it's on.

you can have a steady & enjoyable crescendo of smack-talkin' leading up to the game... then an awkward evening that ends with one dejected colts fan and a saints fan that can't celebrate properly without risking future "relations". then you get to get behind a seasons worth of the best ball from each conference.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

I got all the advice you need there buddy. I am married to a Colts fan as well. I think I am more excited that the season is begining and facing the colts week one there is even more excitment. We are having a kid in Nov. I saw some infant Saints close and bought it. She looked at the Colts stuff and I said NO son of mine is going to wear any other color than black and gold. I won, that battle.

She's nervous about the game.

Have fun, ya might even want to work out a bet for after the game... be carefully get something that is a win-win situation just in case, lol.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

additional note:
i got me a woman that will kick the neighbors out at gametime (they're all old okies) & she can name the majority of the players, their positions, and even pick them out during a play.

new orleans family true & true

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

dont get me wrong....shes a great girl....and roots for the saints...but this week shes rooting against the saints....so shes the enemy


I'm just joking with all us this....but it has made for some tense times at home this week. and its barely tuesday. But she's not allowed in the "Saints Room" of the house. No setting foot in the game room, she could sabotage things....

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

So you disagree on teams, look at how much fun making up will be. Neither one of you can lose that one.:D

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

You've got a Saints Room? That, my friend, is genius. We have a room in our apartment that we don't know what to do with. The walls are already gold...we're both Southern Miss grads, too.

1313, while your relationship may be in the crapper, I think you just saved mine.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

yea, the saints room was a great idea. Its my own lil game room. I got my jerseys on the walls, autograph stuff, xbox 360 in there on tha flat screen....i got some killer neon lights i got from a buddy that owns a couple bars. Needless to say when Im home, thats really the only room im in...its also my "doghouse" as well, so that is perfect!

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

My favorite test is someone is a Fan of so and so team... I ask one question and only one question.

"Who is the Center for that team?"

He in most cases probably touches the ball than any other player on the team. If they can't answer that question how true of a fan are they. I mean anyone can name Deuce, Brees or Bush buck come on hes the first guy to the ball on offense.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

What' s the difference if u know the center or not. He;s not gonna run for a td, or throw one. No one watches a game to see the center. It's nice to know all the players, but a fan likes to watch their Team play.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

You just proved my point too, thanks!

To know other players on the team makes you a great/true fan. Knowing only a couple big deal.

He's the most overlooked player on the field yet touches the ball more than anyone. What do you mean whats the difference. Any stupid sole one the planet knows we have Reggie Bush does that make them a true fan. No. Big deal(?) but to know the team is to love the team - thats the point.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

we've gotten into this debate before about "being a true fan" and what not and it ended pretty badly from what I remember. I can see yer point Euphoria, i pride myself on knowing quite a bit of stats and info on alot of the teams, because i bet on them on the weekends. I can name just about the entire depth chart for the Saints, but theres alot of people that would argue that that doesnt mean I care more about the Saints than anyone else....Its really hard to put a price on someone's obsession with a team. I dont think u can judge it on years being a fan, or knowledge. But if someone is considering leaving their girlfriend becuz shes rooting against the saints.....I think that solidifies my fan status...haha

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

sounds like a bookie's dream........
what are the odds?
chances are, i'm in..............

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

Hey smmitty,
Speaking of odds has anyone notice the over/under for thurs game. The wife won't let me put in our life's savings but 52.5?????

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

i bet quite a few things this weekend actually.....I did two 3 game parlays, one five game parlay, one 8 game progressive parlay and a 10 game 6.5 teaser parlay..........the over/under for this game is smashing.....plus theres a couple of games that are locks this weekend.....week 1 is always crazy to bet on, but its good stuff....makes week 1 even more exciting

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

take the colts and give the points.........

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

I'd say i'm a true fan and at times I can't tell yu who the starting QB is for the Saints. Might have something to do with my CRS but hell there are players on the roster that I can't remember. I live and breath Saints football go to every game I can, even spent 3 weeks last year at training camp but just because I can't name a certain player at a certain position doesn't make me any less a fan than anyone else. Some of us, our mental makeup just won't let us remember such things. My mental makeup, at times won't let me remember my own name.

I think we are all fans, just the fact that we are here on this board talking Saints football ought to be enough to prove that we are all fans. God bless us everyone!

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

What's the O/U on the couple talking to each other after the game? 2.5 or 3.5 days?
Just kidding. But I would have to agree, she can't come in the Saints room before or during the game. And again I agree make a bet that's win win.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

agreed!!!

maybe the problem is not with her but rather you

2 of my best friends have been together for as long as I can remember
He is a diehard NEW ORLEANS fan
and
she is a diehard DENVER (she is from there)

and I have even seen then on game day when we played Denver the tensions were high but never enough to split up over

that’s just sad man

question
do you have theses kind of problems when your out in public?
because maybe and this is a big maybe…
you need to see a shrink

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

If the Saints are winning, sure she can. Question is, would she want to. If she didn't you'd be missing some good chances to dig into her Colts. LOL

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

just to clarify the whole "leave my Girlfriend cuz shes a colts fan", it was a joke....i dont want everyone thinking im nuts...its a joke, a gag u see. But, during the game, shes the enemy!!!!

but seriously....its a joke.....im not gunna leave her....just gunna rag on her when the Saints win it.....

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

I think everyone is going to be interested in finding out if this relationship is still afloat after Thursday night or if you will be on Match.com on Friday morning.

Keep us Updated. Who Dat!!

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

have you tried proper brainwashing techniques??
who dat? and when the saints go marching in on repeat while she sleeps
abstract pictures of fleur de lis' in inconspicuous places
slippin in names of saints player in the reggie bush middle of sentences

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

u need to bet bedroom favors on the outcome of the game that way its a win-win situation for you :-P and when the saints win, You win

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

Ya see! I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines. It's good for everybody.

Re: Ok, here's my problem, I need some advice...
 

You are a sick, sick man...not that there's anything wrong with that.
