Visually, I always have a hard time when the teams are wearing similar colors on one half of their uniforms, whether tops or bottoms. But I stare really really hard, because I want to know everything that happens.

So... let me get this straight... you're saying it's knowable??

Hollylane · 01-30-2012, 10:17 AM

I am really into it, yes it is all knowable, and if you don't understand a play, penalty, rules etc...Google it! The more I know about the game, the more entertaining it is.

Parker · 01-30-2012, 10:19 AM

I loved football when I played and I love watching highlights, but I can rarely sit through an entire game anymore - unless forced to. lol

Ick. No. I was in the marching band, Flag Captain. The only boy that I dated in H.S. was a Quad player...I only liked the Friday night games because it got me out of the parent's iron claws, and me and my best "friend" had "pizza" after the game.

princessbelle · 01-30-2012, 10:31 AM

I LOVE football.

or rather...

I love GOING to football games/parties. You don't really have to know a lot about the game honestly. Just shout and squeal when someone that is for your team does. It's a win win.

I'm in a college town where people literally bleeeeeeeeeed the color orange around here. I am less than 3 miles from the stadium.

Bach when my Dad was alive, we had huge football parties at his house. Always full of people screaming and shouting and food everywhere!! It was exciting and fun and you get to dress in your teams colors including hair ribbons, earrings, socks. I have attained so much orange over the years i look like a blinding neon sign when i put on all the garb. Which, without the parties anymore, what's the point.

But, yeah football can be fun.

HA - I was a band geek too - in fact, my dad owned the only music store in town. lol

tapu · 01-30-2012, 10:37 AM

I was just a druggie in high school....

None of the "football boyfriends" were, though. Can you imagine Dom Capers doing drugs?

Cheerleader here and married the football "star", but *gasp* from the other high school team. It was totally gross.

I wanted to marry the girl's softball catcher. Now, she was hot!!!!

At least she and i did get rather acquainted.

you give the best advice--i especially like the part about the tv being plugged in.

Toughy · 01-30-2012, 11:04 AM

ESPN or NBC may be streaming it live on their website. If they are and you have a newer computer and a newer TV you can hook up the live stream from computer to your TV.....you would need hdmi (I think that's what it's called) cable to connect puter to tv.

Estella · 01-30-2012, 11:22 AM

I was on a cruise last year (With my mother. I know.) and had to watch my beloved Packers win the Superbowl on ESPN. Evidently, there are no local networks in the Pacific. Which would have been fine, but ESPN doesn't carry all the nifty commercials.

tapu · 01-31-2012, 10:12 AM

All right, I'm headed out to Radio Shack to check out antennas and HDMI cable. Those people always fuckin' know a little too much--I'll let them take it from here.

While I'm hoping to pull it in locally with an antenna, I can fall back on streaming it through my computer. The only drag there is that it often gets pixilated or whatever and it's like watching football through an aquarium.

I'll report back here re: success or failure. Thanks, everyone, for the help... and the entertainment. Princess, you wouldn't still have your cheerleading uniform, would you?

Oh good!!!! Well, let us know we all wait on baited breath. It is now important that we know you get that game.

Yes, i have a couple. I will not disclose whether or not i can fit into any of them still NOT.

However, wanna borrow one for the big game? I can send one UPS with the pompoms.

Just make sure you post pics please.

tapu · 01-31-2012, 10:39 AM

Don't say "pom-poms." Don't even be thinking about "pom-poms" anywhere near tapu. Did you know that "pom-poms" in Maori means "do-not-never-be-touched-to-the-tapu"?
