I’m going to be on a bachelor trip in New Orleans the weekend of this Texas game. Obviously, not my bachelor party. This is for the guy that is marrying my wife’s sister. I’m in the wedding and along with all the other groomsmen, we’re going on the trip.
Staying in a nice place on Poydras about a ten minute walk from Caesar’s, home of Manning’s restaurant and Manning’s sports bar.
The point of the trip is to watch college football and wager some money at the sportsbook that is a five minute walk from Manning’s. My problem is that there is no way in good conscience I can watch the Texas game at Archie Manning’s sports bar. Obviously, any New Orleans locals or anyone impartial to the game will be rooting for Archie’s grandson. I feel like it will be enemy territory, let alone just bad juju.
Now, these guys are from all over the country. I’m the only Georgia fan on the trip that I know of. My future brother in law thinks I’m insane for not wanting to step foot in the place on that particular weekend, but I won’t even drink Kentucky bourbon on the days we play the Wildcats. He’s a Buckeye fan and I told him that would be like watching Michigan/Ohio State in a sports bar called Harbaugh’s. Am I normal or insane for this?
