Assuming youre not AT the game obviously:

Do you prefer to watch it alone in solitude, scream, and drink more as the game spirals in the wrong direction (Me)

with a group of friends at someones house/apt, or at a bar?

Group. Preferably mixed with fans of both teams.

At a private home. Bar will do, if necessary.


Eat sushi and drink scotch.


Beer during the game. (just easier and faster)

I like to watch on my couch with a beer in hand and grill fired up on the deck. I pause the DVR and don't start watching until 15 or 20 minutes after kickoff. That way, I can skip through commercials. The game catches up around halftime. I pause through halftime, and do the same thing for the second half.

solitary man here.

I don't go anywhere and don't want anyone coming over.

Have four tv's tuned in to the game (two facing different directions in the den, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom that can be seen from the bathroom).

I smoke when the Tigers are on defense. Don't smoke in the house so I open the door and stand outside in the doorway like an idiot!

Hell, I won't even answer the phone except during halftime!

Group of about 6-10 usually at my buddy's house. Grill out, drink, and watch football all day

It depends on the magnitude of the game. If its a non-conference patsy (like, say, Texas Aggie) I'd rather watch it at a bar to get excited.

If its a huge game, I'm better off alone. I put an ottoman about 4 feet from my TV, sit on it, jump up and down, pace, and prefer not to be interrupted when cussing the SEC refs that frick us like prison bitches.

Personally prefer watching it with friends/family, group setting at somebody's house(or out at a bar).


As long as the people I'm with actually give a shite about the game, I'm happy. If they could care less about the game, they piss me off and I tend to ignore them till commercial breaks.

Have a friend in Metry who invites our usual crowd - 5 or 6 of us, to his house for at least 3 televised away games per year. He grills and BBQs chicken, burgers, ribs, and pork loin. Chests full of Michelob and sweet tea.
We play B-Ball in his driveway at halftime.
Sometimes we have to gang up and shut up the one of us who asks rhetorical questions and comments about religeon, politics, and nagging wives just as each play is about to be snapped :)

When LSU is off, sometimes it's a pleasure just to set my alarm for 8:59 a.m. and flop on the couch with a pot of 8 O'clock and some glazed twists just as GameDay comes on, and stay there til midnight
