The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

It's not official yet, but I'm trying to make it happen! I do get the CBS Sports Network at home though.

Would there be any interest in this? It would benefit me greatly because I'm planning on going to the Grace Potter show afterward next door (already have a ticket).

I do realize Women's Basketball is also at 7 PM that day, don't get me wrong. Perhaps the Green and Gold room would make a better (or at least alternate) venue? Apparently the Bartow Arena West Tower gets that channel, but does that mean the G&G room does too? Granted, that would only be mostly unconflicted for the first half of the game, but that's better than nothing, right?

What are your thoughts on this?

I think the Green and Gold showing would be good marketing for the women's game. Would have been great if they could have scheduled the women's game 2 hours before/after the men's game.

I messaged them as well.

I vote for showing up to the Women's game and DVR'ing the men's. The men won't be able to hear us from Birmingham, but the women sure could. I think it would be a slap in the face to the WBB program to schedule a watch party for an away men's game while they play at home.

This is a good point.

So be it, no "watch party", but I wouldn't be surprised to find a few individuals watching over there. Who are also going to the concert later on. As for me, not really sure what I'll do!
