When The Bar does not have ESPN on NY Day.

"But we could listen to it on the radio". Wow.

Ah .........................NO!!!!!

Couple Rose Bowl parties I could go to, but tbh, when the Hawks are playing I just wanna watch the game without a bunch of distractions. So stay the hell off my lawn and leave me alone with my $20 bottle of Surly Darkness.

Wife surprised me with tickets to Packers game against Vikings and will be my first trip to Lambeau.

Going to probably leave early Friday morning and hit a bar in Appleton on the way up there to watch the Rose Bowl.

1hawkeye1 - I know what you mean. Watching the hawks is different than watching football. The future of the universe hangs every down and distance. Better to be left alone.


But this is the new attitude:

THIS IS TO BE ENJOYED.

I'm staying home

Trying to decide if this is a Fitzgerald snub or not...

Going to Peach Bowl with 9 others. Come back morning of 1st. Then we have the Houston Iowa Club gathering for game. For the conference championship we had 140 people. Dont know how well we will do this time however. BWW loves us.

I am in a city with few hawk fans, 1000 miles from Iowa. I watch the games alone, my wife doesn't care, my son moved to china, I cheer alone, celebrate alone. I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, Don't know where it goes, But it's home to me and I walk alone.

Vintage is that you?

Fiance and I are taking the kids to Wisconsin Dells for New Years Eve and Day. I will be in a sports bar somewhere in Badger country sporting Black and Gold.

^^ Same deal except I will be eating a heart attack inducing sub

My wife and son are in Houston for my son's medical issues. I'm down there now but won't be able to make it over New Years due to work. Likely watch it alone and drink way too much.

That's the way I roll. I don't do bar game watches or parties.

Good luck with your son.

Wife tried to plan Christmas at her parents' house on the 1st. They don't get ESPN. Because of my 2 year old tantrum, we're having it on the 2nd.

That would not be a "2 year old tantrum", that would be a logical reason to skip Christmas.

 

[Knight78]

"But we could listen to it on the radio". Wow.

Well of COURSE you listen to it on the radio while watching it on TV with the volume off.

Ouch. Well, at least your reason will go away. Mine won't. And I've only had this a couple of months so I can't walk that far yet.
