Sic 'Em! College football Sunday in Shanghai

Yep, it's that time of year again: When Americans here try to explain to everyone else why we place so much importance on college athletics, namely football (the version where you don't use your feet too much). If you'd like to try to understand, or if you would just like to tell college footballs fans how silly you think they are in person, head out to Bubba's today. The first full Saturday of college football games is going on right now in the good ol' US of A. And Bubba's will have a couple selected games playing on tape delay on Sunday. Here's Bubba's email:

And like last year, Bubba's will be NCAA headquarters all season each Sunday with NCAA Tailgate Parties, cold beer, fine barbeque, and plenty of smack talk among fans. Each Sunday we'll feature two to three games played by top-ranked teams. We'll also run specials on barbeque and will have our usual happy hour with 20 rmb draft beer and house pours, and 30 rmb margaritas and Texas Teas from 2 to 8 p.m. We'll kick this season off on Friday night at 7 p.m. with #2 LSU vs Mississippi State. Then, on Sunday, we'll show Alabama-Birmingham vs Michigan State at 1 p.m. followed by the feature game of the weekend.....#15 Tennessee vs #12 Cal at 5 p.m. For NFL fans, we'll be dishing up games all season via satellite and also via slingbox.

If you want the results of Saturday's games to remain shrouded in mystery until you have watched them at Bubba's DO NOT click here.

And if you know of any other places to watch college football in Shanghai, please let us know.

Hunker down, you hairy dawgs.
