Austin alumni

[mattmartin817]

Any Alums living in Austin know of any bars that might be hooking up espn3 to a projector to show the game on Thursday? Would be great to watch the game with a few friendly faces and have some coldies while we watch our mean green beat up on fiu.

Sounds like you need to reach out to Rob McKinney, start up a Hill Country chapter of the UNT Alumni Association, and put this stuff together. Make it happen, Cap'n! Maybe you have time to put something together to watch the Alabama game down there in a few weeks.

Sounds like a lot of work! Haha! I'll see what I can do though.

We've had good experience with the bar at the Holiday Inn at 183 & MoPac. I believe it's called "Legends". If you can find a joint showing the game I'm good for at least the first 1/2. Family obligations and a 2:30 am wake up call make it hard to stay the duration.

If y'all are getting together somewhere in Austin please post location here or PM me and I will probably be there. Thanks.

I was going to call Champion's SportsBar Downtown and see if they were carrying it. They are usually my best bet. I caught the Alabama game there last time.

That's a good place. Food's decent, and lots of TV's. Second the recommendation.

Nice to see several Austin alums on here. Wherever any of you find it available, please post it up so we can make a list of our options.

[SAGreenFan]

I'm going to have to settle for streaming KNTU on my phone. But if I can sneak out of work early, I'm there.

Just talked to Champion's, they said our game is internet only and they won't be able to show it. I hope you guys have better luck or I'll be enjoying it from home with George and Hank.

I put a call in to Legend's. Didn't sound promising but the lady I talked to said she'd ask the manager and have him call me back.

The Southpark Meadows bars usually aren't too bad on Thursdays. Little Woodrows or 3rd Base might want to draw in a bit more business. I bet Espn3 looks lousy on a big tv though....

[YIPYKIA]

I'm new to the forum and 98 grad and live in Austin and would like to watch the game tomorrow as well. Hopefully there will be somewhere to watch!

[mattmartin817]

I talked to someone at legends today, they said they were still trying to work on it with the cable company. Not sure if that means that their internet provider can connect to espn3 or what. At any rate the guy said that he would let me know sometime tomorrow morning. I told him I have an alumni group that wants to meet and watch the game, Didn't tell him that group may only consist of one or two of us haha! If there's no place that can televise the FIU and Houston game would anyone want to meet for the Bama game? it's on FSN so it would be a lot easier to find a place showing the game.

To all, UNT90Grad and I just had the idea having taking a laptop, hooking up an HDMI cable to a tv, and using their wifi to stream. It was super easy. We called them, went and tested the connection and it was on. bada-boom, bada-bing, watching party off a laptop tomorrow night. It seems like more trouble than it's worth, but it really is quite simple. I had to borrow my neighbor's laptop cause it has HDMI out and i am tkaing a boombox for the audio. We will post pictures, I hope, afterwards. just find a restaurant with wifi that isn't slammed.

If I thought I could stay for the whole game I'd pursue this option.I have the hookup. As far as other games I travel out on weekends and am usually unavailable. I hope my off week this football season coincides with a NT home game so I can return to Mecca.

Please post up when you guys choose a bar.

I was referring to the way that we got this watching party together in Collin County at the Rudy's in Allen. I am in Mckinney, not Austin. Good luck Austinites! rep the MEAN GREEN!

My mistake. That's what I get for trying to read so late.

Updates?

[mattmartin817]

I've had no luck finding anything. I will cast a larger net this week and try to call more bars to see if I can't find one that can show next weeks game. Will update if I find something.
