| | | BCS Championship -- Tuesday January 9, 9:00am
Does anyone know of a bar that is televising the college football championship game, Ohio St vs. Florida? The game is on January 9th at 9am, and for some bizarre reason ESPN Hong Kong doesn't have it on their schedule. | |

| | | I'd really love to know too......the reason why it's not showing on ESPN HK is because FOX Sports has acquired the right to broadcast BCS games for the next four years.....I'm going to call Skitz tomorrow to see if they'll have it. Start crossing fingers! | |

Start crossing fingers! | Let me know what you find out re: Skitz, I watched the last national title game there so if they do it again this year I'd be interested. Else, I might watch it at the unofficial home of the Buckeyes in HK, Yakitoritei Japanese Restaurant, 49-51 Sing Woo Road, (next to Hang Seng Bank) in Happy Valley. They will show the game but it is a relatively small place and likely crowded due to the Ohio State alumni connection. | |

| | | Skitz told me they're not showing the live game, just the replay.
Are they definitely showing the game at the Ohio St. bar in Happy Valely? I'll watch it there too if I have to. | |

| | Is it alright if someone not from OSU go and participate if that's the case? I'll probably get slaughtered (I'm a gator) but it'd be worth it if I can see it  | |

The recent earthquake has impacted the connectivity speed and thus some further testing over the week-end is needed before a final decision on whether to go-ahead is made. I'll let you know the status on Monday. | |
