FYI for those tailgating tomorrow

[Einstein]

No tents, flags, or fires are allowed.

 

I imagine this would make tailgating in 11 degree weather even worse, so figured you should be aware.

 

 

 

And if you get too cold, the Bears will have a warning center available at Gate 31 Plaza. Important! Could save a toe!

If you'd prepared like a bear you'd have eaten a ton of food to go into some sort of food coma to wait out the winter.

Get an antenna from Walmart?  Are you within broadcast range for channel 4?

Antenna

[Since1981]

$20 Digital antenna from any Walmart, target, to almost any TV will get you a CBS over-the-air broadcast. Plugs into the back 5 min.

 

(And you don’t even need to angle the ears nor add aluminum foil! Bahahaha)

Yes, he should be fine on LTE, not perfect but it would normally work. Unless everyone else has same idea and jams his cell towers doing the same.

Pro tip from the frigid Carolinas

UA heat gear thin 

UA base layer 4.0

Smart wool

Double lined thermals

Over sized single ply thermals

Water proof pants/Carhartt bib freshly waxed & oiled

 

On top, no hoody and top layer under coat a turtle neck. Wear a hooded coat with smart wool hat baklava and a knit hat over it.

 

Socks people ***** up and put too many on  which cuts off blood flow. Wood socks, cotton blend for 2nd layer in oversized muck boots.

 

Gloves with mittens over them. 

 

You won't get cold and that set up costs about $400-500

During the blizzard of 77, we dragged a sled 1/2 mile to the store to get a case of Genny Cream Ale pounders every day. This generation is soft. 
 

Now get off my lawn and stop throwing snowballs at my house.

Genny Screamers.

 

Dad always had a keg of Genny Cream Ale  in the basement fridge.  Can't get it here in Texas, that I know of.

Does Spectrum have streaming with cable service?

 

Like others said, maybe try a free trial of a streaming service? Hopefully not much lag on cell.

 

I have DTV and currently working, stunned my dish isn’t snow covered. If not, OTA antenna is working.

If this game was at home, I surely would be staying home in these temps. Obviously, with the snow and wind today wouldn’t be going anyways.

 

And no propane heaters? That sux.
