Great Setup For Watching Games!

[BFritz21]

I'll most likely be at most home games (Presley's going to some with me, even though she's a Steelers fan) and maybe a few away games, but my sister and her family are moving out, so I'm thinking about getting a hot tub and a flat screen TV to put on the wall next to it so we can just relax and watch games, especially the three primetime home games!

What's your setup for watching games?

I live in Nevada, so I can't beat a sports book with bloody marys, coffee, and a casino brunch.

Well, I cancelled Sunday Ticket after 27 years, so I'll be watching on replay if they win & not watching if they lose. Having high blood pressure makes watching games bad. WTS when watching it'll be on a 135 inch projector screen with a 4k projector & 9.2 Onkyo receiver & klipsch dolby atmos surround speakers. Being single for 20+ years has it's perks.

I have a TV inside that StormShell. The articulating arm can extend about 30" out if i want. I usually have some fam come over on gamedays and we chill out there with all kinds of foods and drinks.

Possibly going to a home game for the first time this year and meeting my son from NYC. . . Yes I’m a Johnny come lately as when Zac Taylor was named head coach along with several former OU players I became a fan. I was at the Jets game in NYC almost 3 years ago and got to go on the sidelines before the game and got pictures with Mixon and others. But normally I’m home watching on my TV.

Do those bars in front of the screen distract you?

Thought about going to the Sportsbook in Hard Rock downtown to watch a game or two so I can bet on it, but the atmosphere in Cincy during games is just so fun when you're with friends and just going nuts.

I might try that for an away game or two, or maybe on the bye week, or maybe just stop by after a home game to watch the 4:15 games.

No way I could tolerate not being able to watch a game live. I'd find a sports bar or I'd find a way to legally or illegally stream the game.

That's kind of like the setup I'm wanting! The TV would be directly to the side though and I'm thinking about putting in a bar or at least a refrigerator.

Let me know what game you end up coming to and we'll meet up pre-game at a tailgate or a bar downtown!

I'm usually the only dude in a wheelchair that "talks" with a miniature computer, so I'm hard to miss!

I take it you have them bars because of balls flyin' around or somethin' lol

That is a nice setup though seriously. Sitting in the hot tub watching the Bengals drinking brewskies, the life.

He said balls flyin' around.



No bars though. That's just the stormshell cover over the TV that looks like bars. Harley just had his comedian hat on.

I thought they were bars also. My first thought was, rough neighborhood!
Gotta appreciate all the screw holes in a straight line!

Yeah, it's crazy. Instead of making it one complete piece, they ship it in halves and you have to put it together before installing it. 




It does the job though! Put it out in early spring and put it back in the house when the cold weather hits. Everything in between is just, take the cover off and watch TV.

Oh, so that wasn't bars I was seeing. It was a cover. Thanks for clearing that up, San Quenten.

I have rewritten my response to this 3 times. I've had a couple of hundred beers today. I bought a Blackstone and have been seasoning it. I'm wasted.

You can call him a motherfaulker. Wait.... No, don't. 

I'm going to bed. Screw this. It's 1 am.

Call him Marshall. HAHA.

Let's do this the easy way.

I can rename it from rfaulk34 Resort to Folsom Resort. 

Cool?
