Girlfriend and Nebraska

[JoeyLabasForPresident]

Could be wrong, but I think he meant that the first question he asks a woman is if she is from ISU.

I know, context in print is a tough thing to convey. I come off myself as way too serious sometimes because a post of mine may be sardonic and there's little means, other than emoji's, to show the deadpan in my voice or my straight face as I'm telling the story.

Hahaha. Similarly I think he made his post in jest, which was also a bit hard to pick up. Hawkeyes87 is one of the best posters here! Thank god my girlfriend doesn’t actually love Nebraska.

Are you telling me, what announcers are always saying, that a pressing team doesn't like to be pressed?

In this case I had trouble picking up the sarcasm because I'm so used to doing it myself?

Don't worry, not the first time!

"You think I'm some sick sadistic F?" is your first question when approaching women?

No wonder you're stuck w/ a girlfriend who likes Nebraska!

Lol

Thanks.

And yes, @Northside Hawk, it was sarcasm / giving him crap. Seems like it should almost be a rule on boards like this- if you mention the gf / wife, you get some grief.

So my girlfriend is studying for a history final and she mentions Vienna, Austria, which has some really cool architecture. I pulled up some pictures and realized that the city has about the same population as the state of Nebraska. I told her “Just another reason Nebraska is deplorable” and she responded “Just because you don’t like the football team doesn’t mean you get to hate the whole state.” I think the only thing that could be worse than this is if she were a student at Iowa State. What should I do? Do I end the relationship now?

Just show her this thread. It might be out of your hands.

Most boards require pics when talking about wives, gfs and daughters (18+)

The real question is, does she have ugly feet?
Now I'm not a foot fetish type person, and I can over look a lot, but I can't stand ugly feet. A little overweight? Ok. A little big or small here or there? Ok. A fan of some craptastic football team? Meh maybe. Ugly feet? Not a chance.

I broke up with mine because she had red hair.

More the Mary Ann type and not so much the Ginger, huh?
Meh hair color.
Sasquatch feet on the other hand, ick. I mean, you can't let them wear flip flops. You can't take them to the water park or boating. They tend to clomp around making all sorts of racket when they walk. You can't rub their feet without being totally turned off.
I'll take a red head all day every day before having a friggin Sasquatch footed one.

All feet are pretty gross. Squatch feet are things of nightmares.

I'd just like to confirm you know the difference between feet and hooves. Your answer will lead to my next question.

Hairy or big?

 

[BILLYBOBSTEXAS]

On the bright side, she might be the best barefoot water skier on the river! You could be the envy of everyone there!

Both? Mostly the former.

I’d nope the F out before it got to that.

All feet look the same when they're behind your ears.

Man the first thing you have to do when dating is find out who their college team is.

My wife said she had no allegiance, but on the third date she came walking out of her house in an Iowa state sweatshirt. She said a friend gave it to her...not only did I make her go back in and change but I made her donate that sweatshirt and anything red.

I am glad to say after 7 years she probably has more Iowa shirts than myself these days and not a single red item.

Ask the right questions when dating and things will be just fine.

Nebraska is actually a great place to live and work. They have a "cult" about their football team, however. It's weird. No matter where you go, they want to talk about Big Red football. Heck, if an asteroid is on a direct collision course with earth threatening to wipe out half of the world population, they'll still want to talk about Nebraska.

I just don't get it. They haven't been relevant in a long, long time.

I mean if that scenario were the case I’d still be talk about Iowa football assuming the asteroid was far enough out that there was still going to be another season.
