Fletch1 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 ..and will not be able to see Skins games on a regular basis for 3 years! I am military and being stationed in Iwakuni Japan. I am a diehard fan and need to know, besides this site, how I can see the games during the season. Any ideas? I have been spoiled by being stationed near the Washington DC area, and will only be able to catch games if the Armed Forces Network shows them. Anyone out there in or have been in a similar situation? :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I thought the Armed Forces network does show Skins games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I was in Japan for like eight months. You will be able to see games, unfortantly they will be at about 3:30 am Monday morning. You will get a couple of news programs that will talk about sports in general so you will get tidbits of Skins info. Other than that have somebody back home record the games and pre and post games and send them to you each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch1 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 I was told they show random games, but a lot of AFC games. Would love to know if they do, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 check out the Geo Forumn during the season, a lot of good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzod Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 You can get NFL radio or whatever it's called on nfl.com. It costs 20 or 30 bucks for the year and you can listen to every game. Or you can just come out here for the game threads. I also like the idea of someone taping the games for you and sending them over. As long as it doesn't go by slow boat.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 If it's anywhere near Osaka they might show the games for you. Spurrier left quite a mark on that city from what I hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Yokuska in 2000, they showed every Redskins game and one other random game. Why they had the Redskins every week I have no idea, but I was extremely happy.

My brother has offered to tape the games and send them out to me "Fed Ex". Can't beat that. The ESPN radio deal is also a good idea. I love the highlites and everything on this board. I can tell I will be on here a lot. Appreciate all the help. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably the coolest, and safest big city in the world (it is the most populated). Don't drive unless you have to. Although with you being there for 3 years you probably will. Driving there is crazy, and old Japanize people will jump out and try to have you hit them, so their family can sue you. But it is a great place. So much to see, and so much to experience. I think you'll enjoy yourself. And I hope for you that they are still showing the Skins games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 This raises a question I've had for a while...baseball has that mlb.tv site where you can watch all those stupid games on the internet for a fee. Why doesn't the NFL have a service like that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 They showed our games, if I'm not mistaken, because we had that Japanese receiver we worked with so we were in the news over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said try not to drive. Not to mention traffic, tolls, and the craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
