Feel your pain. Spent most of the number 1 ranked Bulldog season Saturdays at my daughter's band contests.
How old? It determines the length of the game. You shouldn't miss the entire game and they make EarPods.
It's one of the reasons why I love my wife so much fun we were back in those times or if my granddaughters playing she wants to know what the score is because I'm watching the game on my phone. I remember the era that existed before we had smart phones and the divorce rate was so much higher during football season.

Band contests are looming for my family.
There's one on the TAMU weekend, and another on Arkansas. We've got season tickets in the 200s, which means not only is the money already spent, I only have a few more games with really nice seats, because who knows where we'll be next year.
I've already told my wife and child that if we're undefeated rolling into those, they may not enjoy my decision.
ETA: Got a date crossed. Apparently the Arkansas game is her first homecoming dance... So, nothing for me to attend, but someone's gotta be at home. I need the 6 PM timeslot for A&M, 2:30 PM or earlier for Arkansas.

I had a similar scenario before, involving a nephews birthday. Let’s just say I hurt my back and couldn’t hardly walk, and the only thing that helped numb the pain was beer.
Make the right choice.

Seriously, how is this a dilemma? You DVR the game and listen to the game on your phone while you’re at your daughter’s soccer game. Also, think about how ****** you’ll feel if by some chance it turns into an LSU beatdown and you stayed home to watch it.
Jesus is watching you, and might punish us all for your selfishness. You go to that damn soccer game so that you make your kiddo happy, and to increase the chance of a State victory.

Go to the soccer game. Is this even a question? You’re choosing a football game over your daughter, let that sink in a little.
Just want you to know that I’m proud of you.
May you be rewarded with your daughter scoring a hat trick and a State victory.

a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
"she was in a mood to tell jokes"
And there was never a question. I was always going to her game and cheering for her the whole time. Thanks for shatting on the fun I was having with this though
I’m going to put my $.02 in here as briefly as I can.
Go to the soccer game. Check the score if you have to, stream it on your phone with the volume off if you HAVE to, but go to that game, man.
I’ll be 50 in a few months, and I’ve spent the past four years going to band competitions in the fall with at least three more years to go. I absolutely don’t regret one solitary second of it, and I’m closer to my boys now than ever. With our phones being the tools they are now, you can absolutely have the best of both worlds.
Go to the game. Watch every second your daughter is on the field with your phone in your pocket. You don’t want her looking up and seeing you staring at that screen.

Go to the soccer game. If it’s that important to watch us, DVR it and avoid checking your phone for a few hours.
Family requires balancing interests for everyone. But that includes dads too. Expecting Dad to be MIA for every Saturday during the Fall for games isn’t balanced. But I would also say it’s not unreasonable to expect there may be a special football
type event that would take priority for you. For instance for me, if a kid had a sporting event tonight during LSU I would be at the kid’s event. But if there was a kid’s soccer game conflicted with us in the SEC Championship, the next game rivaling the MSU-Auburn 2014 game, etc., the family knows Dad’s probably out on the soccer game that week. If you go all in on kids events like today and show them your kids take priority, you will tend to get some grace when it really would pain you to miss one of those rare can’t miss events.

Do they need a timekeeper for her soccer game? If so volunteer and speed up the game. If not bribe the person who is the timekeeper to speed up the game.
This is the answer.
As a father, there is no higher priority than my daughter (my only child).
I'd walk 100 miles to watch her play in a soccer game . . . and she doesn't even play soccer. If my daughter is playing in a sports game, then I'm there watching her play.
Either DVR the Mississippi State football game, or you can catch the highlights sometime later.
You are truly devoted to your schtick - though to be fair to you, it’s not a schtick so much as it is cosplay - so you get a thumbs up.
