In game Tweeting

Love or Hate?

I suppose it's the same concept as our chat room, or a game thread. Five years ago, my phone wouldn't be in the same room with me during a game, out of fear it may ring and interrupt me. Now, I'm tweeting or texting friends on timeouts and commercials. DVR has also changed the home experience, because I no longer have to wait to take a piss. Thanks to technology everyone can communicate & take a dump when they like. Sometimes, even at the same time.

I don't read the boneyard, but I usually tweet a lot during games. #motorboating is my favorite in game tweet

It's nice to get a combo of friends, Yarders, players, and sportswriters thoughts during one timeline of a game.

I actually like it more when I am at a game. During a dead ball or timeout I will quick scan to see what the media/fans are saying. A lot times how things look from the seats is far different than how they look after numerous replays on tv. FWIW, I almost NEVER look at my phone while the game is actually being played.

Problem with XL is sketchy cell service.

Indeed. At the Louisville game I could barely check twitter or send texts.

Who was the yarder in section 120 row T who spent half the game on the football board?
