These kids came up with a genius plan to watch March Madness in class

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

March isn’t just a month of madness, it’s one of ingenuity. People everywhere are trying to find a way to sneak watching the games at work or school, and these two guys might be running the best one-two play in the country.

With just a phone, a friend, and two strips of duct tape, a surprisingly elegant solution to a common problem. So long as nobody narcs to the teacher they should be able to get away with this one for most of the tournament.

Hopefully both dudes have different favorite teams so they can just trade off the hoodie and switch positions if needed.

Personally, when I worked in a cubicle I always did the “phone leaned up against keyboard shielded by my body” trick. It worked pretty dang well.
