Non-sports fans: If you're going to a Super Bowl party on Sunday, and have no clue how to join your friends' football banter, have no fear because Logo TV wants to help you.

Throughout the game, the channel's Twitter account (@LogoTV) is planning a "real-time survival guide" that will offer tweeted tips on what you should say to sound smart wherever you're watching the game. The tweets kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET.

These are the types of tweets that followers will see, according to Logo TV:

• 
  

  "#SuperBowl Survival Guide: Tell the tallest guy in the room that QB @DangeRussWilson has thrown more than 500 completions for the @Seahawks."

  
  


• 
  

  "#SuperBowl Survival Guide: Yell, 'Seriously, can you believe that incomplete! C’mon!” RIGHT NOW!'"

  
  


• 
  

  "#SuperBowl Survival Guide: Lean in to the bro next to you and say, '@RSherman_25 talk about choking, how’d you let that pass by??'"

  
  

"For too long, non-sports fans have been made to suffer silently through Super Bowl parties," Shawn Hollenbach, Logo TV's manager of social-media content, told Mashable. "And instead of angering folks by interrupting the game by asking lots of questions, we'll also be tweeting simple explanations to help you understand the gameplay."
