Watch party options for Saturday vs. Navy
I thought we were done with CBS Sports Network after CUSA, but that's where our game Saturday vs. Navy will be televised. I have run out of email addresses/free trials for the couple of platforms that offer it, so I will be looking for a good place to watch. One that doesn't have to compete for a TV with the state/SEC schools, especially since it's on an obscure network that can be hard to find (if the establishment doesn't really care about UAB and doesn't want to make the effort to find CBS Sports Network). Alabama plays at 11:00 on ESPN, so their game should be about over by the start of our game, but Auburn plays at 3:00, on SEC Network--so that will be our competition at the typical sports bars.
Any ideas of places around town to watch that will give UAB a primary spot, and we won't have to fight to get them to turn it on? I really wish the UAB Alumni House would open up and host a watch party again, like they have done a few times in the past for big games.

CBS and CBSSN have had the contract for Navy home games for decades.

I guess you need to find a Buffalo Wild Wings. There's lots of ACC & Clemson fans in the area, so you shouldn't have trouble getting them to put the game on.
Located in: Festival at Riva Shopping Center
Address: 2337 Forest Dr, Annapolis, MD 21401
If you're staying up by BWI airport, there's a BWW in the Arundel Mills Outlet mall between the movie theater and Dave & Busters, which is another place you might be able to get the game on, but it's loud in there.
Address: 7000 Arundel Mills Cir #3, Hanover, MD 21076
