THE RECOMMENDATION: I’ll be at home on the couch for this game since it is on the road, and because of [gestures broadly], I have a wireless keyboard for my iPad just in case something else needs blogging while the game is going on. So that’ll be my set up here, but I highly recommend that you use the SB Nation app to chat about the game in the comments. I’ve been using it to post comments in the soccer and volleyball previews/Game Threads this fall, and I’ve really been enjoying how smoothly it works. The point of the story is that now’s a great time for you to 1) make sure you have an account to post in the Game Thread comments and 2) download the app to joining the game discussion even easier! It’s available in the United States wherever fine phone apps are available.
