Super Bowl XLVI Game Time, Channel and a Question

by Jimmy on Feb 5, 2012 7:26 AM CST in Reader Surveys

So Super Bowl XLVI kicks off tonight at 5:29 central time on NBC. It is a good year when NBC has the Super Bowl because they do a great job with everything surrounding the game. I will not be watching much, if any, of the 14 hour pregame show, but I am more likely to watch it on NBC than any other network. Their pregame guys don't spend the whole show laughing. That is a bonus.

My question for you here is do you prefer to watch the Super Bowl at a party or more low key? For me, I enjoy going to some type of reasonable Super Bowl Party for a game like this one- when I don't really care who wins. I cannot go to big gatherings for Titans' games. I want to really watch those games, and it is impossible to really do that when there are more than about 4 people in the room.

When the Titans were in the Super Bowl, I ended up at a party with about 50 people. That was a terrible mistake, and by about 5 minutes into the game I ended up in a room with 4 or 5 people gathered around the smallest TV in the house so I could watch the game.

Anyway, let me know where you will be watching tonight's game.

My brother and I watch it together at home every year, kinda a tradition.

I host

A party every year. 20-30 people usually show. Superbowl is like my Christmas. However, no party when the Titans are playing because the goal is to see them win it all live!

Today is all about eating great food, hanging out with friends, and watching the greatest game we call football :)

just the usual here..

I am getting over football practice so not doing much.Just me and the g/f and a big screen TV. Think I broke my foot yesterday. One week before the season starts dang it.

I'm the same way.

I could watch this game with a small group since it’s not a Titans game. More than 10-15 and it gets too much for me.

Everyone knows I’m sure but I thought I’d mention it just in case. You can watch the game online at NBCSports this year and can switch between different camera angles, so it stated.

BTW, anyone wouldn’t happen to have, or know where there are some funny SB XLVI pictures?

I'm like Jimmy.

Games like this where I have no rooting interest, I can go either way as far as party or not. Any game involving the Titans it’s just myself and my dad, we’re both diehards who yell at the tv and like silence when they’re on.

Keep it small no matter who is playing.

Mother makes a Super Bowl dinner and then it time for the game. Went to a party once and didnt enjoy it because there were people there that didnt care about the game and were trying to talk over the tv.
