Welcome to the first Thursday of college football. Yes, there have been games going on before tonight, I think this one actually counts towards the championships. Feel free to correct me. Either way, we are in full-on football mode in my house. I am crunching numbers for the wedding, yes, we have gone from dating the football fan to marrying the fan. Getting the fan to focus on the numbers I am crunching is not happening. I had him for 30 minutes when one slow game was ending and before the next one started. Timing is everything in football and in engaging your fan’s attention. That is fine though, I am no better when I am in the middle of a painting or the last two chapters of a good book.
This is when I would like to make a suggestion to those of you who do not have a DVR. If you really would like to have a decent conversation with your fan during a game, I recommend that you invest in a DVR. Fans, if you are in the middle of a significant life change with your partner, or they are new to the game, I recommend you invest in a DVR. There are few things more annoying than being interrupted. If you have a DVR you miss nothing, you pause the game, answer the question, rewind the game and move on. If it happens repeatedly, you pause the game, request an alternate time to discuss the issue, unless the house is burning around you, ya might want to get up for that one.
