You might be surprised to learn this, but my game day experience is highly dependent on watching everything in real time.
The best part of football games are the game threads and the texting with my buddies (we have a group chat of 8 of us). Michigan and Lions games is like 70% of our yearly traffic.
Without this message board or my buddies and messaging in real time I’m not sure how I could even watch the game. It’s the interaction with others that is enjoyable during the games. The games themselves are miserable experiences filled with anxiety and high blood pressure. The chatting is awesome and then a win means you get to consume hours of postgame content about your team winning.
