Places/ways to watch the Austin Peay game?

So I’m in Atlanta and have kind of a screwy cable setup: the neighborhood I’m currently in has a wonky old deal with Comcast where everyone gets “digital tv/basic cable” included but that definition leads to some slightly odd channel lineups. I’m not positive that I get the SEC network which I’m assuming is where the broadcast would be? So for those who stream can I get the game through espn 3 like in the past?

I don’t really want to go out somewhere unless I have to and as it’s been years since I used to go to Buckhead it’s obviously changed a lot. I still remember when the official bar was the Taco Stand, which I never really cared for and really didn’t like that many of the people who went there the few times I tried it. Anyone have any good places to watch a game on the northside of Atlanta?

Thanks and Go Dawgs!

This ones on regular espn
Its also on september first so you could consider getting a free trial for youtybe tv or sling if you don't get espn. Additionally, I've had good luck with reddit.com/r/cfbstreams in the past

Ditto!

ESPN @ 3:30 pm.

Thanks. I hadn’t looked yet but assumed it was on one of the other channels. At least I won’t have to deal with Directv this year. In the past there were games on the alternate channels that were on the guide but not on the channel. Nothing more fun than dealing with customer service as it gets closer to game time and you’re in the middle of nowhere like I was.

On side note, I haven't "done" Buckhead in over in over 20+ years. It really started going "downhill" in the mid to late 90's.

Loved the place back in the day and I caught many a game at some of the great hole-in-the wall hang outs. Of course now, I don't live in the area, so I can't really comment as to what's going on there now has far as Dawg spots and hang outs..... Hope there still some great places to catch the game.

scooterdawg

Yeah. It definitely went downhill fast. We started going to Virginia-highlands a little bit before buckhead ceased to be anything but overpriced retail and residential properties. The lovely developers who killed it had great plans for it until the real estate market went to hell.

Does Jefferson Pilot still do games? You knew it was bad when the Dawgs had the noon kick on JP.

You guys who haven't been in town in 20 years are cute.

Research sports bars in your area. I prefer a true sports bar, a relaxed one with mostly dedicated fans.

Ugh...the worst. I love that chapter in Clay Travis's book about his SEC tour

Sadly I'm actually not even sure if JP is still in existence but I know they no longer carry on the tradition of showing crappy early SEC and ACC games. I kinda miss them in a nostalgic way. Bad announcers, crummy graphics even for the time, and lots of Vandy and Kentucky games.

I'm cute because I live 2 and half hours away and don't have any desire to go into town.

@scooterdawg

Can you be more specific about what area of town you're looking to watch the game in? "North side of Atlanta" can mean anything from Buckhead to Roswell. Not sure if you're searching that wide or have a more narrow focus.

scooterdawg

I’m in Vinings, adjacent to Buckhead. Paces/West Paces Ferry, Mt. Paran area. Right inside the perimeter.

moos

Not sure what kind do of atmosphere you're looking for, but Sports And Social at SunTrust park has a massive screen. I'm sure the game will be on there since there's no baseball until 4:05 on Saturday. I'm contemplating watching at least one game there this year.

scooterdawg

Thanks. That’s not too far from me. I haven’t been to Suntrust yet. I hear they have a good pizza place there. I might have to give the bar you mentioned a shot this year.
