Bleach Social: Where Are You Watching The Texans Play The Ravens For A Spot In The AFC Championship Game?

Look!  A unicorn!

By request, we're publishing this week's edition of "Bleach Social" earlier than usual. Texans fans want to know where other Texans fans are watching Sunday's game so they can plan accordingly.

Will you be watching live and in person at M&T Bank Stadium? If so, you may want to coordinate your efforts with Ms. Stradley. She'll be in Baltimore, and she'll be keeping Texans fans up-to-date about all the goings-on via Twitter.

If you're in the D.C. area yet not able to trek to Baltimore to watch the game, DisplacedTexan mentioned a few possible Texans-friendly establishments in D.C. before he promptly gave up the fight and just decided to spring for a game ticket to soak in the festivities at the stadium. Well done.

For those of you closer to Reliant Park, perhaps you're looking for somewhere to watch Texans-Ravens in Houston. Dave got a FanPost up to solicit suggestions for a game-watching venue a few days ago, but I'm not sure any consensus emerged. Probably because he spoke ill of 360. There is no "Curse of 360." I'm willing to entertain the notion of "The Curse of Dave Watching the Texans at 360," though.

Star-divide

Regardless of whether you've decided where you're watching the Texans on Sunday or if you're still trying to figure out where you'll be, share your plans or thoughts in the Comments below. No matter what happens on Sunday, there's history to be witnessed.

Why even bother?

A rookie has never so much as won a coin flip or a game of rock, paper, scissors in the city of Baltimore. And on top of that, they’re 17-0 at home this season, despite having only 8 home games.

But seriously, represent us well! Go Texans!

i know...

But it should be a good game, although it wont have the awesome atmosphere that was the game at reliant. That was a damn good time. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a game that awesome, every one was high fiveing(not sure I spelled that right, or if its even a word) on the way out. My ears and throat hurt after that game.

Throw it into a pot, let it cook for a few hours and reduce. And there you go.

I HAVE A DILEMA!!!

So, I was going to watch the game at Studio Movie Grill before my wife informed me her grandparents from Iowa are coming in on Sunday(and Sunday only). Her grandfather talks a LOT. Grandmother talks a bit too, but not nearly as much.

Suggested taking them to Studio Movie Grill, but she said it might be too loud for them. And I don’t want her grandfather in my ear the WHOLE game… and if the Texans lose, I’ll probably be cursing quite a bit too much for their delicate ears. So watching at home is kinda out of the question as well.

Should I tell her that I’m going to watch the game somewhere with my boys and leave her with her grandparents? I’m really kinda stuck.
