My wife says my marriage is now "hypothetical." I'm thinking of wearing an "IDAHO" shirt tonight. Heck, they could use a fan in the stands, right? It's not like there won't be 6000 other Hawaii fans? What's one more Idaho fan? Really? Can anyone else convince my wife of this?

Geez. It's like Romeo and Juliet. Without the annoying poetry. And the double suicide. And the tights.
Other than that...

The sacrifices one must make. I have already accepted the fact I'll miss the OSU-Gopher match tonight because my wife's team is playing in high school playoffs. That's just the way things work. But here's the more difficult question: If the wife's team is playing a team who has a player who is a committed recruit on your favorite college team -- let's just say the Gophers, for instance -- do you: 1) Root for your wife's team to shut the recruit down and win the match? 2) Root for the future Gopher to light up your wife's team like they were 10-year-old firecrackers soaked in gasoline? 3) Root for the future Gopher to have a great match, but still lose to your wife's team? (This one is particularly tricky.) 4) Skip the whole scene and attend the Gopher match instead -- and deal with the fallout later? Are there other options? Hypothetically, of course. 2 and 4 would lead to a divorce. 1 would lead to a mental breakdown 3 would be consistent with yourself on VT, you scallywag! Are there other options? Yes, repent.

Silvernail was da explosive device, too. Now there's a happy looking couple: Man, Jerritt sure hasn't aged well. I remember when he was skinny and had hair!

Option 5. Pretend I'm deathly ill and sneak off to the other match.
Shhhhhhhhhhh. No one tell.

Man, Jerritt sure hasn't aged well. I remember when he was skinny and had hair! Well - the one thing I noticed (at least from the Austin Juniors pic of Sarah compared to the Texas official bio pic of Jerritt) is that they sort of look alike. Or maybe married life did that to them. I've seen a few pictures of Sarah during her playing days. This one looks like she's ready to do some serious damage to the ball. So Jerritt never had a ponytail, right?

My wife says my marriage is now "hypothetical." Oops. Looks like your wife does read volleytalk after all. You probably should have verified that before you came here for therapy, I mean, advise.

Now there's a happy looking couple: Man, Jerritt sure hasn't aged well. I remember when he was skinny and had hair! When was that? The first time I ever saw him was during the 1999 sub-regional matches at USC(ya). To me he looks about the same as he did back then...

To me he looks about the same as he did back then... Well, Jerritt was high school buddies with Kent Steffes back in the day. One year, Kent hired him to be the "coach" of his Team Cup All-Star team. He was very GQ back then, lol. I'd put that at around 1992 or 1993, I would guess. I used to have a tape of those matches but I think they are probably taped over by now with re-runs of "The Family Guy" . ;D I think Jerritt played some college ball, too. I just can't remember what school. UCLA maybe?

I remember those Team Cup days. I don't think I have any of my old tapes from the matches from those events that were televisted to look for him roaming the sidelines. Pretty much every time I've seen him coaching he's been an Erbe-esque whiner and screamer when things don't go his way and he has always seemed to me to be rather arrogant. But that's just "one man's opinion".

Have the OSU match recorded by someone with avideo camera in the stands and give you updates on a cell phone. Lay low at the high school match and listen to updates. Bring a "graucho Marx" eyeglass set and a sign for the future recruit, and then be sure the sign is reversible for your wife's team. Most importantly.... buy your wife chocolates.
