As Tennessee plays Kentucky tonight in a basketball, It made me think about a few game watching tips. Tonight’s game is going to be an emotion-filled game for a lot of Tennessee fans considering it is versus Kentucky, and that we are #1 in the country. These tips might help a few people out there watching the game tonight, and I have developed these from playing experience and observing fans during games.
- Do not negatively tweet players or coaches. They are not going to read your comment and have a revelation about their mistake. So there is really no benefit then to sending the tweet and could only come back to haunt you on social media one day.
- Have food, this my favorite because I love food! Watching sports is supposed to be fun and a great pairing is some good food. My personal favorite and go to food is popcorn.
- Have positive people around you, and try to limit “experts” in the room. You all know the people that claim to be “experts” but in all reality have no idea what they are talking about. These people are draining to watch a game with.
- Stay off the phone, and stay in the moment. Do not be the person who misses the big play because you were too busy on your phone!
These are few quick tips from Riley that I hope can help stimulate your mind for tonight or any future game!
