Missing First Home Opener Since 1974

[BevoJoe]

But it's for a good reason...my wife may give birth to my baby duaghter that Saturday!!

If not, I'll start another streak!

Both giving birth to or conceiving a child are good and sufficient reasons to miss a home game.

taps would be disappointed. your priorities are clearly flawed

I think Taps is working on funding for a maternity wing at DKR and a wedding/reception hall will follow after completion.

Both my kids were born after football season

They also know if they want me to attend their weddings on a game day the ceremony better be on the 50 yard line at half-time or dad ain't gonna make it

Ok, if no one else will do it:

"Say it ain't so, Bevo Joe!"

Congrats and best wishes for the new arrival

 

[WorsterMan]

Good reason to miss it. Congratulations!!

Fall 1974: I am thinking it was Boston College as the opener and we won but lost the next year on the road by 1 point. I remember Raymond Clayborn had a TD on a punt or INT. That is a long unbroken streak amigo... but you can start a new one!

not a bad excuse at all--being the father of a 13 and 15 yr old, time does indeed go by too fast!! enjoy it now, my friend

 

[hornpharmd]

Definitely a good reason to miss the game.

You should have timed your intimacy activities around the football schedule. What were you thinking?

Oh well--what's done is done. Good luck with the young'un!

May both mom and baby be blessed with health, happiness and Hook'ems! Congrats!
