Ask the pack - you be the judge

OK, so a little back story here. My sister went to Tulane from 91-95. They won a total of 4 football games the entire time she was there (if I remember correctly, if not it surely wasn't many) I started at State in 95. My Freshman year, we went to the Final Four. In 1996, we beat Bama. In 1998, we went to the SECCG. She made fun of me because Tulane had actually turned around and went undefeated that year. Point is, she was never a fan of MSU.

Fast forward to 2014. We beat LSU in Baton Rouge. No peep out of her. The next week, we played Texas A&M. I actually wasn't there, but had made a "Dak 4 Heisman" sign for College Gameday up north, and actually got my sign on air. We all remember the drumming we put on Texas A&M, but still not a word. Next, we played Auburn with tickets going north of $500 each. My wife (also an alumnus) and I went to the game. We all know what happened. We became #1 in the country. I get back to the car and while we are waiting, she has a few posts on Facebook about MSU and how excited she is. She continued to cheer for us, but said she wasn't an MSU fan, just a Dak Prescott fan - and that was only because of his backstory.

One more piece to the puzzle is that she completely ruined my Orange Bowl trip.

She just got married earlier this year and said her and her husband (not a sports fan) are going to go to the South Carolina game and they want to go with me and my family to the Samford game (my little girls first real football game.)

I told her she can't be an MSU fan unless she suffered through us losing to Maine. And Tulane. And since we don't have Dak any more, she as no reason to go.

What says the Pack? Should I let her come with my family or should I tell her she has been banned? I'll follow the consensus of the board.

I realize that this is a new experience for all of us....bandwagon fans. Who ever thought we would win enough to garner some casual fans. I say the more the merrier......and since it's family it would be a dick move to "ban" her.

 

[HD6]

I need to know how she ruined the Orange Bowl trip.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

If she buys a ticket and pays her own way then yeah she can do whatever she wants. If you don't want her to sit with you then buy tickets separately. My wife wasn't a state fan in 2004 and I let her go to games*****

 

[patdog]

Yeah. Generally, I'd say encourage her and her husband to become fans. We need all the fans we can get. But depending on what went down on the Orange Bowl trip might change that opinion.

 

[Chesusdog]

Lawyer up, hit the gym, delete Facebook.

 

[ronpolk]

Do you hate your sister?

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Let her come. We don't have the luxury of being exclusive.

so, my dad is a GT alum. Because of that, my mom and dad wanted to go too. My sister had been through a rough patch having to go through a divorce in 2011. So my sister, mom, and dad all went. From the very onset, she started fighting. Before we even made it out of my parents house, she started fighting. When I wanted to go somewhere for lunch, she argued. What was supposed to be my trip really became here. I put my clothes on the floor by my suitcase and she yelled at me. I was passing a car and stayed a little longer in the left lane than she thought I should and she fussed.

Also, one positive: she knows she messed up my trip. She is paying for me and family to go to Disney World in November. She says it's for my girls, but I think she feels really guilty about the Orange Bowl.

I appreciate the Disney trip, but the Orange Bowl was a once in a lifetime trip for us.

Also, to clarify on another poster - I'm not saying I can control what she does with her own money. I can control whether they sit with us though.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Sometimes. Its like a love/hate relationship. She can be awesome, but she never wants to lose. Anything. I give in my marriage, but when it comes to MSU sports, I don't want to give in.

Feezus!! Look up the current prices for Disney tickets, and then ask yourself is that price worth listening to your sister during a game. I think you can suffer through one home game with your sister.

Years from now you will both look back and laugh....****

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Yeah, a 3 day trip down to Miami is a long time to yell at each other too.

 

[Rebels7]

Pictures? Then I can make my judgment.

 

[lowbird]

Gonna need to see some pictures.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Dude. That's my sister.

 

[MeridianDog]

Absolutely take her with you. She is your sister and you don't get new sisters all that often.

Family is family. Take her and if she really upsets you at the game, toss her off the top of the stadium.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Damn, we have some serious pervs in this thread, wanting to see pictures and all that. He has a legitimate gripe about a family situation and this is how the board respond. I recommend burying the hatchet and letting her come along. I'm also thinking about going to the game. Any pics of her you can share so I can find her while I'm there?

 

[ArcherSPS]

Your point?...

 

[Dawgbite]

She spent 4 years in New Orleans for college and been married twice. There are at least some bikini pictures floating around somewhere. Just sayin! Let her come, she could be the very first confirmed sidewalk fan. Buy her her very own cowbell, she will feel guilty as hell.

Man this post reads like you and your sister are 13 years old. Based on the fact that you were a freshman at state in 1995, I'm guessing you are around 39 or 40. Sounds like both of y'all need to grow up. Neither of you guys are getting younger and you should probably spend time with your family while you can.

Seriously, this is a little weird. I would give somebody a pass for being a horrible human being while going through a divorce. As pissed as I would be about the Orange Bowl trip being ruined (you know, more than it was ruined by our DC checking out early and our D being completely amazed by the option offense), a simple apology would be enough for it to be water under the bridge, much less a trip to disney world. I'm pretty sure I would be pretty unpleasant to be around if I had to go through a divorce.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

And the apology is all I would have wanted. I never asked for, nor expected, the money for the trip. Seriously.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

And keep in mind, the divorce had happened over 2 years prior. She was already engaged to her current husband.

 

[josebrown]

Dude. That's my sister.

Is she hot?

 

[Hoover Dawg]

And keep in mind, the divorce had happened over 2 years prior. She was already engaged to her current husband.

So she's a cheating branch swinger?

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

The voting is now closed. I have ordered the tickets.

Just so you know, I was trying to make a light hearted poll about something to pass time since there isn't too much to really talk about yet. It's a subject that as one poster pointed out that we as MSU fans have recently come to have to deal with. Bandwagon fans. I was trying to have fun and expected some light hearted comments. Some of you didn't disappoint. I'm sorry that others just simply read too much into it. Maybe it's just too hard to read and gauge the tone of the intent.

I have to agree with the others...a request for pictures in this thread is entirely appropriate.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

No, actually he had cheated on her. She met her current husband 2 years after the divorce.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Agreed. The post is really weird and you're being really petty. It's your 17ing sister. Grow up. And give us some 17ing pictures with a low cut top already!

 

[maroonmadman]

Show her a good time and go out of your way to be hospitable. In a few years you can hit her up for the return favor when we travel to New Orleans to play Tulane. Plan it out my man....

 

[dawgstudent]

You and your sister both sound miserable.

"Messed up my trip" - you sound spoiled

The way you describe your sister - she sounds just as spoiled

Your sister is going to drop 2k-4k for Disney and you are complaining about her wanting to come to a State game.

With that being said - invite your sister. Regardless of how horrible she is in your eyes - she is still family and hopefully it would make your parents happy that everyone is together.

 

[dawgstudent]

You can never tell lately. Some people actually come here for legit advice.

With that said - since it was light hearted - a light hearted picture of your sister will suffice.

 

[mstateglfr]

This has to be one of the oddest threads of the summer.

A couple of over-the-hill siblings who apparently never managed to mature their relationship from childhood.
I cant imagine telling my sister to go away and ban her from a football trip based on some odd dysfunctional sibling relationship.

...but I also admittedly cant ever imagine being so forthcoming on a message board about a relative like you have. This is full exposure. I can see why your sister and you dont always get along...you guys have the maturity of my daughters...who are 9 and 5.

And take a damn picture while you are at the game. You get bonus points if you hose here down with a water hose first.

 

[tatedog]

In addition to pictures, I'm going to need to know more about her feelings on Dale's, blue tents, and smelly stadium cups before issuing a ruling.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

See, THIS is what I was looking for. She DOES use Dale's, has a Yeti cooler and a Salt Life sticker, and she actually PREFERS the blue tent.

 

[tatedog]

Motion to attend granted.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Make sure to get to Applebees early !!11

Real quick shot to Noxapater after that

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

She's a Chili's girl

Might be a long drive after the game.

 

[Shamoan]

as a fan base, we shouldnt be turning the average person away. tell her to buy a shirt and she is in assuming she isnt a racist murdering rapist pedophile.
