A tweet sent college football fans into a frenzy this week when someone on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that Saturday, October 12th this year is not only a very popular wedding date, but there are also a surprising number of games taking place on that day.

This, of course, got everyone arguing. There were those who agreed that there was no way they were going to go to a wedding that day, and those who said, GROW UP AND GO TO THE WEDDING.

We here at For victory have chimed in on the discussion and spent a lot of time discussing this in our group chat. And we decided to turn it into content, like we always do. So here are six of us telling you all to grow up:

“It’s just football.”

I like football as much as the next guy. Proof: I watched a Giants game on my phone during a wedding, and that wasn’t the Giants’ Super Bowl winning era under Eli Manning. That was two years ago. But man, it’s just football. Go to the wedding and dance (read: drink) away the pain you feel from whatever is happening on that bullshit stream. — Prince Grimes

“You’re an adult.”

You’re an adult. You have a lot of bills, maybe even a mortgage. For some reason, these fellow adults have decided to keep you in their lives—lucky you!—and they actually like having you around. Again: Lucky. Keep this in mind when you’re really annoyed that you can’t spend the 135th Saturday or Sunday of your life on the couch watching the same (expletive) unremarkable football games instead of celebrating people you apparently call “friends.” — Robert Zeglinski

Don’t worry about college football when planning your wedding.

Just plan the cheeky cheeky wedding. This day is all about you and yours. If you’re worried about people not showing up because of the football games, you’ve officially lost the plot. If you absolutely must remember the football, tell your guests to bring food and drinks for the tailgate-style reception with TVs. BOOM. Problem solved. — Meghan Hall

If it bothers you that much, DON’T GO!

If you’re planning a wedding around football season, either move the date to another Saturday or simply set up TVs at the reception. If you’re a guest, have a phone to watch the game on, or if it bothers you that much, just don’t go! There are a number of methods available to you to keep up with football games in the year of our Lord 2024. And if you miss something, you can always watch the highlights on social media. — Mary Clarke

Um, hello, it’s 2024.

It’s 2024. We have phones with streaming capabilities. External battery packs aren’t expensive. Venues have power outlets. I’m so sorry you can’t watch this game at a sports bar where you have to pay for drinks because you’re at an open bar instead, but I trust you can make it work. Just find some time to dance Press it. You’ll be fine. — Christian D’Andrea

GROW UP.

Let’s make it simple: weddings can happen anytime. It’s not about interrupting your college football game day or whatever. However, if you want to stream the game during the reception and catch a glimpse while dancing and celebrating, that’s fine! — Charles Curtis
