Game vs. meeting

Pretend you are a huge and fanatic K-State football fan... and they play Nebraska on Saturday. You can't make it to the game, but it is the featured game on ESPN and the Gameday crew is in town. K-State is predicted to win, but it should be a good game and you absolutely despise Nebraska. This is the game you look forward to every year and you wouldn't miss it for the world! But you find out when you look at your calendar that you have a meeting to go to that night. Do you skip the meeting or do you feel guilty and go?
Well, I feel really guilty, but I will not be covering the USD 108 school board meeting tonight. I am a huge Minnesota Vikings fan and they are playing tonight on Monday Night Football in their first game of the season against the hated Green Bay Packers. This is the game I look forward to every year and it is only better when it is the season opener and it is against Green Bay. I just feel bad that it landed on a night with a school board meeting. Sorry. I'm a bad newspaper guy, but I hope fanatic sports fans understand my dilemma.

Dang. Fourth quarter and down by 12. I should've gone to the meeting.
