Question Help a California 'Skins fan out!

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, and I apologize if I'm not, but I need a hand with the upcoming 2005 season. I recently had a chance to look at the TV schedule, and considering that the Redskins will be playing two local teams (49ers and Raiders), I'll probably be able to watch a total of 4 games on TV since only others are scheduled to be televised nationally.

4 out of 16 games. That just doesn't work for me, man. Does anyone have any sort of suggestion on how the heck I can catch some more games? Keep in mind I'm a college student, so I can't just drop a ton of money on one of those TV packages to get all the games. I'm open to just about any other potential suggestion though. I'm desperate. Desperate I say!

Re: Help a California 'Skins fan out!

i may have a suggestion, my only question is, do you have any family in the DC area?, if so there is some new thing that you can hook up there and then watch what ever is being played on that cable network all over the world as long as you have internet connection, i'll find it hold up

this box is helpfull for people that can't live w/o local TV when they are around the world, other options include dropping out and living in DC

That Slingbox thing is AWESOME. I'm definitely going to do that if I move out of Skins area.

Re: Help a California 'Skins fan out!

I agree with the sports bar idea. Find all your local sports bars and call to see if any of them televise the games. Alot of sports bars will have free food or food specials to attract customers. If your to young to drink you can catch the game get some free food or cheap food and injoy the games. Good luck and let us know how it goes I'm sure their are other Skins fans with your dilemma on this site.

Re: Help a California 'Skins fan out!

I like to listen to the games on Sirius Satellite radio and then re-enact the plays as I hear them with my Redskins Action Figures. Of course, I have all of my Dallas Cowboys Action Figures dressed up in girls clothes and makeup.

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.

Re: Help a California 'Skins fan out!

Sadly, it doesn't look like the Slingbox thing will work. My entire family is also west coast. And for some reason, I never considered the whole sports bar thing! 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.

If you drink you can find more fans.

Don't worry about not drinking, most of the time when I go I don't drink either. I just have something to eat and drink iced tea.

I used to get hammered every sunday but I guess I'm getting too old for that, LOL.

If your looking to save money, its a good idea to get somthing like an iced tea, or somthing else that you can refill all the time. The Beer would get expensive, so I dont get that when I go to the bar......although the not being 21 might have somthing to do with that too.
