Good evening. Question kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it? Which sports bar in your given C-USA market is the most accommodating to your favorite Conference USA school or the conference overall for sports broadcasts?

Responses will be read on tomorrow's premiere broadcast of "Unleash The Dragon" on Blazeradio (http://www.blazeradio.org) tomorrow at 1 pm eastern time.

Thanks for participating, I got at least one more topic I'd like to "bounce" off everyone here coming up.

Mugshots
Buffalo Wild Wings
Keg and Barrel
Shuckers
Sidelines

Several more I can't think of off the top of my head.

The Union Pub and Grill
Fat Patty's
MacReedo's
Davis' Place
Buffalo Wild Wings
Rooster's
Marshall HoF Cafe

All show sports all the time, and if there's a CUSA game on TV it's likely on at these places.

Wow, thank you guys, I appreciate this, that's an incredible list of venues thus far. Only one I can think of here in the Birmingham area off the top of my head is "Loco's"...I can't recall having gone anywhere else in the city to view a UAB or Conference USA sporting event in recent years.

Great thread. +2

The HOF cafe is awesome. Whole thing is dedicated to the history of Marshall. Anyone coming to town for a game should check this place out.

Bruno's Tavern
Traceys
Roberts Bar
Cooter Browns

Marshall Hall of Fame Cafe

Stadium Cafe in Addison is where UTEP fans in DFW go to watch the Miners play...

I don't think ECU has any issues getting on tv in any sports bar in town. Now the general CUSA games that don't involve us I am not so sure on as if I go to one its to watch ECU play.

Shuckers is fast moving to the top. They dont allow sec game on the tube and you just might get a visit from D10 post game.

Yep, Shuckers 98 has definitely become a hotspot for USM fans.
Everytime I've visited there in the last couple months, IT HAS FILLED QUICK!

Damon's in Pensacola used to have a lot of USM stuff up. I'm not sure how much that's changed in the 5 years or so since I've been to Pensacola. The time when we could claim that part of the country may be over, thanks to USA and their stupid football team. UWF probably has a football team now, too.

Yeah the better question is are there any sports bars in Greenville that are not ECU friendly? I haven't lived there in years so I wouldn't know, but I couldn't imagine they'd last very long if it got out that they weren't.

Middle Tennessee has:

- The Boulevard Bar & Grille (close to campus, but other end from football/hoops venues)
- La Siesta mexican Restaurant (across intersection from hoops/football stadiums)
- The Boro (across the street from football/basketball)
- Sam's Sports Bar (Stones River Mall) off campus
- Kirkenburt's BBQ (across town)
- Buffalo Wild Wings (Stones River Mall)

ECU pretty much has Gville locked down. There may be a few ACC bars around town, but I'd venture to guess the Pirates have many more choices from which to gather/drink/eat.

We've got a restaurant in St. Albans, WV called Shuckers. Good food!

I guess in Charlotte it would be Picasso's.

The area around campus kind of sucks for bars. Most of them are chains. The huge growth of Uptown Charlotte has pretty much sucked the nightlife out of the university area. Most students just go there now and the light rail being extended to the campus will probably kill it even further.

Around the Charleston, WV area you'd probably have to ask to have a C-USA game put on unless it was a place like Buffalo Wild Wings who use about every sports channel they have.

A lot of places just leave it on whatever ESPN/ABC have on.

Is the food so bad it makes you sleepy?
