CBS regional coverage for GT game

[1990Warrior]

I just realized that I am screwed because I live in SEC country.  Any suggestions for how to get the game over the internet etc.

This will probably affect others as well.

SWEET!  I turn on the tv to check my guide and last night's game is being replayed on the current channel (espnU) just like it was las night at 1am! SWEET!

perfect way to spend a sick day.

and thank goodness my guide shows I get the georgetown game too.. live in dallas.

Does anyone have that map that shows which areas get what games?

Or do they just have that for the NCAA tournament?

Should have it soon.

Thanks Chicos.

You mean the game is not national?  It is National Marquette Day and a lot of folks across the country, including those of us in SoCal, will be attending game watching events.  I sure hope this does not cause a problem!!!

BTW, Chicos, are you going to make it to NMD this year?  I know some folks on this board will be attending.  It would be fun to meet each other.

I have the pleasure of watching Alabama at Ole Miss.

Does anyone know if the radio thing at the go mU website works - it is better than watching the ESPN ticker.

My day and the next week is officially ruined.

Ditto that. Northern CA is split between SF and SJ and both will be at bars that have access to the game...so you SHOULDN'T be without the game!

Here's the list of sites you could possibly visit:

Worse case scenario: call around to the bars.

hmm.. seriously thinking about going to the gathering in dallas.. never been to one of these get-togethers before.. usually a lot of fun?

It better be national.  I know that is the primary consideration when they schedule National Marquette Day -- a nationally televised game.  It's been much easier the last couple of years because we've had a lot of nationally televised games.  This requirement caused us to have a Thursday evening NMD party in 2006 because there were so few games to choose from that year.  As the local coordinator of the event, I had a lot of conversations with the people at Marquette about the absurdity of a 9:00 PM (EST) event.  Marquette simply refused to have the event on for a game that was not nationally televised -- even though every major city has countless sports bars who can pick up all of the ESPN package games.  Needless to say, attendance was down that year.

Hopefully this year will be better attended.  I'm the coordinator in Cleveland again this year.  If you're in the area, I hope to see you at Shula's 2 in Independence.

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.

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.

True.

Anyone remember the Valentine's Day game at ND in 1990?  Man, that was the bus trip from Hell.  That was my first Valentine's Day "with" the girl who eventually became (and still is) my wife.  She stayed in Milwaukee; I took the aforementioned bus trip from Hell.  She'll never let me live that down, but at least she knew from the beginning where my priorities were.

According to our CBS sources, the G'Town and MU game is NATIONALLY ON CBS, not regional

Correct....just confirmed it with CBS

Thanks for the research and sorry for the false alarm.  I am pretty sure that I am screwed because my local CBS station says they are putting on SEC basketball which they always do. I could not watch ND/SYR for the same reason.  Luckily, I can drive up to Cincinnati where they will be having a get together which I probably will plan on doing.  Thanks for the link 77NCAAchamps.

They must be pre-empting then which normally CBS mothership would not look to kindly on unless there was big $$$ involved....in your case that might be exactly what's happening. 

Pretty easy to find out for me, what city are you in?

[1990Warrior]

Lexington, KY

In my experience they are a lot of fun.  It's great watching an MU game with like minded fans.  Who knew there were so many MU fans out here in SoCal?

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.

[MURFC]

I cannot help you out with a bar, but you can usually catch the games online at http://www.channelsurfing.net/

I am in Dusseldorf, Germany, and there are no bars showing the games here, so I have been watching online......

London is full of American expats though...I am sure with a little internet research, you will find a bar with a satellite feed or some other connection.

[Dish]

The Sports Cafe in London is a great place, and I would highly recommend it. Think Dave & Busters/ESPN Zone. There's an outside chance they'll have the game on live. Whenever I go to London, that's where I go for American sports. It's right near Piccadilly Circus in the heart of the city.

They're showing the NCAA tourney live in a few weeks.
