re: How do you like to watch games like this?

I watch with my son who plays OL/DL for his school.
He will be excited, and full of nervous energy and will be in and out of the room if it's close or LSU falls behind early.

Reminds me of me when I was younger, I would get so nervous at critical times of an important game,esp.Bama, I couldn't watch, and I would step outside to follow the game as all my neighbors would be watching, if I heard my neighborhood erupt cheering I knew something good happened.

Now I can sit down and watch, but my son will do the pacing.

My hubby tries to joke around too much during a game, that's ok for a lower tier game but an important game especially Bama, I just find it too irritating.

When my dad was alive, he would usually want to watch by himself at his house but we would talk on the phone before, during and after an important game.

Always at halftime either he would call me or I would call him, we would spend a lot of time on the phone when an important game was on, football and baseball.

He's been gone for a few years now, but sometimes I still have to stop myself from picking up the phone to call him.
