Raise your kid for religion or rivalry?
Here's a pretty good response to a question about how to deal with the situation where your wife roots for your favorite team's biggest rival.
Anybody have similar stories involving tOSU/TSUN?
Would you rather switch your religious affiliation, or switch to TSUN?
My answer: It's like if she's a smoker; if she's a scUM fan, just move on right away - never allow yourself to get into this situation. But if somehow you do (which might possibly happen if she's a millionaire nympho), you gotta switch the religion thing, there's no room to move away from the Buckeyes!

My first child was just born three weeks ago. I am a devout Roman Catholic and my wife is a Methodist. In regards to raising our daughter, she has agreed to join the church and raise our daughter as a Catholic. But with all good marriages, there is give and take. My wife and her family are Clemson all the way (my daughter already has a subscription to the Orange and White) and my family is entrenched with the SC Gamecocks. So I had to agree to let my wife and her family raise her as a Tiger. So you see, she could have been a protestant Gamecock. So my question is do you think I made a good deal? And do you think it is ok for me to use my fatherly influence when she gets older to tell her how much better it is to be a Gamecock? Just so you understand the situation, I love this woman so much that I have stroked a check two years in a row for Clemson season tickets and this absolutely kills me. I thought I could do it but I find myself stifling cheers for the other team as I sit in the stands. - Clif B.
A: You lost in the trade-off big time. So your version of how to pray to Jim Caviezel is more important than your Gamecock worship at the altar of Spurrier? She’ll ditch the religion when she hits college and realizes the wonders of sleeping in on Sunday after her first house party, but you’ve stuck her with your hated rival for life. There’s a special place in the afterlife for you. It’s not heaven, hell, or considering your Catholic upbringing, purgatory. It’s an all white room with a refrigerator with nothing but Pepsi, and a one channel TV that only gets WNBA games. However, considering you have a daughter, she’ll rebel against everything when she’s in her teens meaning it’s possible she'll abandon Clemson for South Carolina just to cheese off your wife. Maybe then your better half will let you borrow her pants.

Well, i'm a Christian mutt-baptized Orthodox, attended Methodist church thru HS, went to a Catholic HS, and now work at a Catholic HS and attend Catholic services when I go to church, so switching denominations wouldn't be a trauma for me.
That said, rooting for scUM would be like converting to Islam-not going to happen-ever. I'd quit watching college football if someone forced me to make a change like that.......

Am I the only one troubled that this dude is going to wait til his daughter grows up and then explain the joys of cock to his daughter? Sounds like a prison sentence in waiting to me.

Oraganized Religion cause MOST if not ALL the problems in our world!
Most wars are brought on by Religion and they are all enforced by each of the religions involved. They kill in the name of their god, how ironic! IMO do away with organized religion and the world would be a better place!
But regarding the UM part of this post...I wouldn't mind if my significant other rooting for the RIVAL...either way after it was all over I get even!!! I do have one Wolverine on my list conquests...she was a swimmer training with the UM swim team here in Hawai'i. Good times!
