The 2014-2015 bowl season brings the “New Year’s Six” which means that there is plenty of football to watch on both New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve. See the bowl schedule here.

As you jockey for position with your significant other over New Year’s Eve plans, we’ve got some useful ways to convince your girl to stay home on New Year’s Eve to watch football:

1. It would be disrespectful to the state of Mississippi
“Honey, the state of Mississippi had the biggest year in football ever this year. It would be disrespectful to the wonderful inhabitants of the Magnolia state. Do you really want to disrespect 3 million people just to get dressed up and enjoy a nice dinner?”

Possible rebuttal: “I’ve heard you make fun of the state of Mississippi every Saturday for the last ten years. I call BS on that one.”

2. Bo Wallace and his hair
“Sweetie, I think you would enjoy watching Bo Wallace. He’s a handsome quarterback. He also has really pretty hair.”

Possible rebuttal: “What the hell is wrong with you?”

3. New Year’s Eve is overrated anyways
“This is the most overrated holiday every year. We always hype it up to be something huge, and it is always a let down. Let’s just avoid the hoopla this year, relax and watch football. Plus, restaurants just jack up the prices. It’s price gouging, honey.”

Possible rebuttal: “I have fun every year we go out. You’re the one who doesn’t have fun. And stop being cheap.”

4. Your New Year’s Resolution to watch less football doesn’t begin until the next day
“Honey, we agreed I would watch less football in 2015, but 2015 doesn’t begin until January 1. Grant me the last day of 2014 to enjoy football. Meet me halfway here.”

Possible rebuttal: “This is a ridiculous conversation.”

5. It’s the first year of the New Year’s Six
“December 31, 2014 begins a new era in college football. It’s the first ever New Year’s Six. WE’RE TAKING BACK NEW YEAR’S EVE AND NEW YEAR’S DAY BABY! I WANT TO BE A PART OF HISTORY. I MUST BE A PART OF HISTORY!!”

Possible rebuttal: (speechless)

6. Don’t kick TCU while they’re down
“TCU got screwed babe. They shoulda made the playoff. I’m not going to double-screw them by not watching their huge bowl game. Let’s not be harsh.”

Possible rebuttal: “TCU is a joke. We’re not not celebrating New Year’s Eve to watch a team called the Horned Frogs.”

7. Katy Perry will probably be watching
“Honey, Katy Perry loves the state of Mississippi. Remember when I showed you her GameDay appearance? She’s likely staying in as well to watch football.”

Possible rebuttal: “Nothing you say can convince me that Katy Perry is watching football on New Year’s Eve.”

8. Georgia Tech’s Triple Option
“Hey babe, you’ve got to see Georgia Tech’s offense. They run this thing called a triple option. Their coach, Paul Johnson, is a genius!”

Possible rebuttal: “Do I look like I want to understand the triple option?”

9. Don’t miss possible Boise State magic
“Honey, Boise State upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl a few years ago in the greatest game ever. They’re playing Arizona in the Fiesta this year, and there’s not a chance in hell I’m missing what might be another magical game!”

Possible rebuttal: “How has your life changed as a result of Boise State beating Oklahoma years ago?”

10. You need to scout Rich Rod
“I think Rich Rod might be our next coach. At a minimum, he’ll likely be in the SEC eventually. I’ve got to check this guy out and get a feel for his coaching style.”

Possible rebuttal: “You’re choosing something called a Rich Rod over me on New Year’s Eve?”
