Alabama in China

I usually would have no problem googling a place around here but google is blocked..!!! :eek2:Um... They allow that?!
This one's tough - hard to predict what's blocked or not. As the Ole Mis game is the SEC GOTW, it might be streamed on the CBSSports website, though that may well be blocked as well.
Ahh, the Replublic of China. Good stuff. You could always join us on here. We have good play by play guys on here.
Not just that, but some of the color commentary can be really, well, um, colorful... :biggrin:

I've never been there but they do show a lot of sports, including college football.
You'll want to call or stop by to see if they'll be showing the Bama game this weekend.There is/was a bar called Nashville there just a few blocks from the old soccer stadium that has an Alabama Crimson Tide pennant posted behind the bar. They have a bunch of TVs and really good acoustic musicians that play there. I was never there during football season, but I wouldn't be surprised if they showed games. The owner apparently went to school in the United States, but I never met him and the manager couldn't confirm whether it was Alabama or not.
a couple of years back, i was able to stream a game (at 3am or so) while in a hotel in guangzhou and didn't have any trouble
Haven't been to China but since Google is blocked below is a list that someone posted for a similar situation.

I travel to Asia and EU quite a bit during football season. The game will be on cbssports.com but CBS will block you for being out of country. If you have a vpn connection that will route ALL internet traffic through it, then you can fool cbs into thinking you are in US. I have a netgear nighthawk and use the vpn on it to do this for games that are espn3 only. I also have dish with sling which doesn't care what country i am in since i am watching my tv. Have any close friends that have a hopper with sling built in? Might be your best bet.
As for places to watch, i have never tried to go to a place and watch. Keep in mind that Bejing is somewhere around 12-13 hours ahead of us so 2:30 kickoff means 2:30-3:30 Sunday morning there. Game won't be over till the sun comes up so you will need to find some place that keeps those kind of hours.
Hope some of this helps.

I'd go to Danger Doyle's. That'd be a great story down the road. "I once watched a Bama game at 3 AM at a place in Beijing called Danger Doyle's!"
Thanks allot brother. I know I could always rely on my band of brothers. I wonder if the place would be open to show a game from 3 - 6 am lol but I'll call and check.You might try this place:
