I've found that I can follow the Skins game just about anywhere - at home, in a hotel room, on a train or even in the bathtub.

Can we get a thread blocker to block out that immage of Action figures in the bathtub thingy?

WoW! That was way too much information, altogether!

Yea, Ice Tee is a cheep way to go and you can cook some wings and sneek them in with you. Order just a few then just refill with yours when the skins score and everyone is jumping around not paying attention.

What, do you just put them in your pocket? Like Napoleon Dynamite? :vomit-smi

This has been a long off season, hasn't it?

Whereabouts are you, West Coast Skins Fan? There are a ton of Sports Bars in and around LA.

No, you put them in a zip lock bag and wear a baggy shirt to stuff them under. Never put hot wings in your pockets. The hot sauce will bleed through your pockets and underwear and you will be up making some moves if that happens.

Either Sacramento, or the SF Bay Area depending on the day. There are plenty around here too, now that I think about it. I just don't know which are good and which suck.

And on a random note, it sucks (for me) that Washington is playing BOTH local teams, and they're both home games. What the hell are the odds? I was hoping to see them play this year since my girlfriend graduated from college the day of the 49ers/Skins game last year and I was obviously unable to attend. Again, what are the odds?

Not to mention people will start to ask you if you're feeling crampy, bloated and moody.

LOL I think it would be a whole lot worse than that. More like that Beengay burning sensation.

WestCoastSkinsFan I feel your pain I'm moving to San Diego (or Whale's Vagina depending on your translation of German) two weeks before Week 1. Has anyone paid for the DirectTV package before and how reliable is it? I know some baseball packages have games blacked out, does this happen with the NFL?

[jacobyfan]

I've always relied on sports bars in Nashville and during the (almost) year I spent in Albuquerque. I don't drink, but that's never been a problem. It's nice to have the game on a big TV, usually some fellow skins fans around, and someone bringing you food. I would consider NOT getting direcTV because I enjoy that so much. It's a Sunday ritual for me. most good sports bars are set up where you can watch multiple games which is good if you're into fantasy football and good if you have friends with you that are fans of other teams. Both of these are true for me. I have a friend here who is a huge Rams fan that I go to the sports bar with. I'll be going to the skins game in St. Louis with him.

extremeskins.com also has a fan finder where you can possibly find someone nearby that has direct tv and likes inviting people over... generally the sports bars are a safer bet though. extremeskins also has reviews of the bars like the ones posted further up in this thread.

[Monksdown]

go somewhere that does have one of the football packages. like a bar, grab 2 beers, and a bunch of water. now that is cheap.

It'll still be pretty strange considering I don't drink, but I NEED to see some extra games this year. Plus I'd love to find some more fans out here. I'll give that a try unless anyone has any other crazy-good suggestions.

I'm at the sports bar every Sunday during the season and I don't drink! I love their French Dip sandwich though!

French Dip sandwiches are the shiznit.

Hey I am glad they are home games. The return of Norv (worst coach in Redskin history) and and the Ice Cream Man Himself -Mr. Vanilla. I can't wait.
