Gridley will miss a game coming up

[57stratdawg]

For a "family obligation" which is why Stovall played SS tonight. Has a player ever missed a game for a wedding before and I'm just not remebering it?

You seriously complaining about a guy missing one game to attend his sister's wedding that will be a once in a lifetime situation? Geez, some things are a little bigger than college sports. It sucks his sister decided to get married during the season, but that's not his fault. Players get off in college and pros for family situations all the time.

If my son got married during football season on a home game.... he would not have his father there. But alas, he is smart enough to know that. A wedding on a home football game weekend is DOOMED to fail! Blasphemy!!

When my wife and I married, during football season no less(Oct to be precise), we made sure to schedule the wedding on an open date for State. That was the only way to ensure our respective families would show up.

Says more about the sister.

He should tell her he has an obligation to his team. If she didn't understand that then she has major issues.

Hell, she could get married on a Wed night.

 

[CuzDawg]

Yea. That's extremely inconsiderate of the sister. Also where are the parents to weigh in to the sister on something like this.

My brother got married in Tennessee on the Auburn game this year. My service wasn't great so my phone was in and out thankfully.

 

[Dawg1979]

doesn't the sister go to Harvard? maybe this was the only weekend she could do it. i'm sure none of you have ever had to do something you didn't want to do b/c of other circumstances. it will be fine. simma down now.

I simply asked if anyone could recall a situation where a MSU baseball player had missed a game for a wedding.

I can recall players missing games for family obligations, not sure if weddings, funerals, bar mitzahs, whatever.

If the young lady wanted an April/May wedding, with perfect weather, then before checking to see if the church/venue is available, if the preacher/priest/ship's captain was available, if the groom/significant other's family could attend, if the dress/pantsuit could be ready, if the caterer was available, if the florist was available, if the photographer was available, if the bridesmaids were available, if the DJ was available, or if the flower girl was available, she clearly should have checked her little brother's baseball schedule. How thoughtless.

Paul Jones is saying that Gridley's sister is graduating from Medical School and has to be out West for her Medical Residency to start in June. Thus, the Spring wedding.

 

[patdog]

Can't remember it happening before. But it's no big deal, so not sure I would remember something like that.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

My sister was in her second year of residency at Duke when she got married. The wedding was on the Monday between Christmas and New Year's because that was the best time for her and her (now ex-) husband.

Gridley is getting more flack from some of our fans for this than Lamar Peters got for missing a game because he was asleep.

Also more flack than Magum got for getting suspended for missing curfew or for being an idiot and hurting himself by punching a wall.

Cannizaro said that Gridley brought this up months ago and the coaches knew well in advance. It's not a big deal.

Calm down, dude... get a hold of yourself haha

Have you checked the stats on marriage lately? There could easily be more opportunities to be in her wedding.****

That's how I took it. It's amazing what people will turn one's statements or questions into.
