So I just figured out I will be driving from Portland to LA on 12-27.
How do I convince wifey we need to stop at a sports bar for 3.5 hours?

 

[BlazeOrange]

Between now and then, you have to do something for her that takes at least 7 hours. Then plead to recoup half of that time.

 

[Crusty]

You hear a noise in the engine and have to stop and wait for roadside assistance who can't come right away because they need to pick up a part.

Only problem is you're on your own after the game when the problem magically disappears. Just remember better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission!

 

[OrangeFreek]

How about you man up and tell bet you are stopping!! She says a word she meets the back side of your hand... Or you could just say I would really like to watch the game. Say it's a late Christmas gift...

just find a calendar that has the 27th on a Thursday in Portland....all is good

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Clone yourself. Easy peasy. You can thank me later after you've watched Cuse wreck the Gophers and driven you & the wifey to LA.

Make her drive and you watch it on your phone

Start out by demanding to stop in Houston on the way to attend in person. After a few hours of arguing "compromise" by just stopping to watch the game on TV.

"That's an awfully strange noise I hear from under the hood"

"If you're still wondering what I would like for Christmas, I can give you one idea."

 

[BORZAK]

Stop at a sports bar, next to a mall and tell her to driver on you have arranged for a ride on the Internet and you should be 4 hrs behind her . If she leaves divorious her and start a quest to replace her. Win/win

I'm having a difficult time getting my head around the question posed by the original poster. I have to assume its a hypothetical. I mean, why would anyone marry someone who isn't an SU fan. It just doesn't compute.

The bigger challenge will be asking her tol drive afterwards

Doesn't have to be a sports bar, could be a romantic getaway for two that starts around 10:30 that night. Earlier if we're ahead by a lot.
