CBS regional coverage for GT game

[The Lens]

Looks like GT @ MU is on NASN so pretty much every sports minded pub in Europe should have the game. 

London...7pm...MU game - now that's a National Marquette Day

Doesn't that make it International Marquette Day?

When I was in Dublin for part of my honeymoon, we went to a place called Cassidys to watch Bears/Dolphins last October. It's pretty much in the city centre and not a bad place.

I tried to google it, and got this back, which is probably pretty helpful.

Cassidys actually showed the MU/Nova game last night!

The worst year was when they had National Marquette day on February 14th, Valentine's Day. If your significant other didn't go to MU, that caused a lot of problems. Overall, I've always had a great time on National Marquette Day.

Not for those who talked their non-MU girlfriends into coming to the game.

Although she's now my ex-non-MU-girlfriend. Might have had something to do with it.

Having spent my last 3 vacations in Spain and Italy I would suggest doing some research on tripadvisor.com message boards for the indicated cities.  I did a lot of reading on those boards before my trips and remeber numerous people asking questions of where they could watch NCAA football games last fall and NBA playoff games last spring.  In the message boards you can do searches and likely will find a place to watch the games in any of those locations.

I know Rome has a number of irish pubs, not a lot different than ones here, that have satellite TV for soceer and rugby and can pull in US braodcasts.

I am going to be in London for the Gtown game. Does anyone know of a London bar/pub that shows American sports? It is a shot in the dark but I thought I ask anyway.

following up on that...I'm going to be in Europe over spring break- right in the middle of the BE tournament and NCAA 1st and 2nd rounds! Anyone know anywhere in Galway or Dublin, Ireland, as well as Venice or Rome, Italy? heheheh, i will salute you if you can tell me somewhere

Dumbass.

well hopefully it will bring MU more luck; the last two years i've tuned in intently and they...well we all know

I'll defer to Chicos, but it looks to me like we are the only 1:00 p.m. (CST) game on CBS.  The earlier game is Duke v NC State, but that starts at 11:00 (CST).  There are two games on the schedule for the 3:00 p.m. start time:  Miss. State v Florida and Texas v Texas Tech.

Correct....just confirmed it with CBS

You are correct. Called my buddies at CBS Sports and they said this is MU's first true broadcast network national telecast in several years. Great exposure for MU!

[Muhoops85]

Big East Website says it's national, too.

Galway might be the most fun city in the world

Lexington, KY

You're screwed.  Looks like your local CBS is pre-empting and will put on Alabama at Mississippi in that time slot.

The other option is to find a sports bar with a BUD (big ugly dish) that would have the CBS national feed out of New York.  Directv and Dish do sell distant network signals for New York and Los Angeles to customers around the country, but it's difficult to get them because of waivers needed, etc.  But, if you can find an HD bar in Lexington with HD DNS signals (they will be on channels 80 or 81) you would be ok.  Just call them up and have them put it into their HD receiver to see if they receive either one.  80 is the New York CBS in HD and 81 is the Los Angeles CBS in HD.  Because DIRECTV hasn't launched HD locals in Lexington yet, this would work for you if they have an hd account.

Best of luck

Tnaks for all of your work Chicos. Most of the sports bars in town are now using the sports packages from direct TV.  The link from 77 champs says there is an alumni event up in Cinci which is not to far away.  I will make the drive.   Who knows - it may be more fun than watching alone.  Has anyone ever been to one of these?

[shaquilvaine]

Agree about Galway.  No better place on earth.

[baltimoremufan]

Thanks Damon and MUdish! I will have to find a pub with that sports network and yeah I have heard of the Sports Cafe. I will have to check that out as well. Ringing out ahoya in London

For those looking for locations in London and Dublin to watch games there is a thread on the Georgetwon board with a lot of good info for locations and satellites, etc.  Just go to resources on the left side of the page and fo to other teams boards, etc.  Very convenient having the links to the other boards right here.

[Dry White Toast]

Add DWT to the list of Galway lovers.  Best city on earth!

And there IS a place where you can probably see some American Hoops while you are there.  When I was there, a place called Scotty's was one of the only places to see NFL games.  They bill themselves as an "American Bar and Grill"...heavy on Burgers.  They love it when yanks come in and they are happy to accomodate any US sports on TV (if they can get it).  Food stinks, but the beer is cold.  And it did feel more like "home" than other places.  That's probably your best bet.

It won't be hard to find US hoops in Dublin.  Lot's more sports bars in the US mold there.

Looks like game is pre-empted in NC too.  I am getting Wake v. GT, AGHHHHHH!
