I'm gonna do something I've never done before. I'm going to tape the game and watch it at 8 pm. I'm not going to check any updates on my phone, the internet, or sportscenter. I hope I can do it.

      Honestly, I think you're right. I'll probably hear it on the radio or one of my family members will let it slip when I get to their house. But I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen.

        Good Luck with that. I couldn't do it.

        My phone is set to beep at the start of the game, at each quarter change, with each score and at the end of the game.

            The only way that would work for me is if the turkey knocked me out and didn't wake up 'til 8.
            Are you laying odds you can do it?

              Congratulations and best wishes! Are you naming him/her Aaron or Erin?

                Congrats on the soon to be new addition. Good luck! And get a Packer jersey on that new baby ASAP so he/she starts learning early about the greatest team in all of pro sports!

                    I rarely watch any Packer game in real time. Most often I listen to the radio off and on as I (we) go about whatever is on the agenda for the day. I record the games, and then watch after my wife goes to bed. Peaceful and dispassionate.

                    Since three of my sons will all be home for Thanksgiving, I might actually watch this one in real time, because I suspect they will want to.

                        Are you certain? We have Sirius/XM free for a year with our car and you can get the games. You might have to go to their website to find out which channels will have our game.

                            You got played. PWNED! as the kids say.

                                I love the priorities of Packerrats members. Upnorth probably told us before he called her parents. Best Wishes!
