I have 2 tickets to the Louisville game, but I'm also supposed to go out of town with the Mrs. I need ideas on how to get out of it.
No way am I missing Roy, Jon, Pat and Tyler's last game

If you're flying, salt the clouds. If you're drving, ice the roads.
Or say you caught the flu from Marquette.

I suggest finding someone who has a contagious disease and having them take liberties with her personal objects.

Call up Sylester Stallone, Michael Caine and/or Pele and have them break your arm or leg.
Don't worry. They'll make it a clean break.

How about a late Friday PM "kidnapping" - you disappear until Saturday about 4PM and all the other board members can take turns making ridiculous ransom demand calls.

Just go with the MQ example, get a giant blowup of yourself and run before she can tell the difference.

"work emergency" or lock her in your basement or simply explain to her the importance of you going to the game.
work emergency allows you to tell her you are at work while you attend the game.

How about promising a trip to Paris in return for seeing the game?

Problem 1: You let your wife leave town. Problem 2: You let your wife leave the kitchen.
Change the second and you'll be fine in this case and many in the future.

Problem 3: you married someone who doesn't understand the importance of Georgetown Basketball games

Why aren't you married to someone who understands the importance of this game?
If not: (only as last resort) Nice jewelry will probably work and then you don't have to get 'kidnapped'. Call ahead and do your homework - i.e., you can change reservations without a fee (even if there is a fee pay it so she won't know), you have everything arranged for x weekend, get an upgrade (and see pay fee ahead of time) and then you probably have to take her to the game with you, unless she wants to chit chat the whole time or something. Then screw it and go with the work emergency.

Tell her how much the game means to you. Promise great things in return for her letting you go to the game.
