I'm returning from a conference today but was luckily going to be able to watch the game during a layover in Chlt. It's a long story.

In typical US Air fashion...my flight was pushed to 3 pm and my layover will be barely enough time to change planes. Should get home by 9 pm



Thinking of going into total blackout mode and watching the game tonight like its a 9pm kickoff....but I don't know if I have the willpower to pull it off...what would you do?

Beating in my own skull out of frustration is not an option...

I've texted everyone and told them to leave me alone...which of course means they'll bomb me the whole time...so the phones going off.

I just have to avoid any TV's in CLT.

I let my wife answer the cell and home phones when I am in blackout mode.

Do you have a cell phone that can access the internet?

It's going to be tough not check the score when I hit the ground but damn.....I don't want to ruin watching it later.

it will depend where your flying and some other things but u might be able to get a signal, if so then first row should have it? worth a shot anyway.. not sure how good the signal would be tho

And all other random people who might be talking about it at the airport.

Headphones, baby.

No way you can possibly get home without being tipped off as to who wins imo.

I'd just try to catch glimpses every chance I got.

For anyone who GAS...I did make it back with no idea of what happened. A couple in CLT almost blew it...but I fired it up when i finally got home at 9 pm and saw the whole thing.

Long fricking day though...
