Just a quick note to all that will be here during the National Day Holidays....Bubba's will remain opened for business with regular hours! Also, don't forget the upcoming FOURTH ANNUAL Chili Cook off. The slots for teams are filling up quickly, so if you are planning on getting a team involved....move it.

Send me an email if you need an entry form.

This Sunday's games for week five of the NCAA season:

1 p.m. -- #4 LSU at #18 Georgia
4 p.m. -- #8 OU at #17 Miami

See you at Bubba's!

We'll kick off this weekend's games with a Thursday night game between #4 Mississippi and S. Carolina as I know at least ONE ol Miss fan here in Shanghai. We'll put that up on the TVs on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m.

On Sunday, which for some might be a work day, we'll have the following games:

1 p.m. Illinois at #13 Ohio State (if blow out at half time, we'll switch to #9 Miami at #11 Virginia Tech)
4 p.m. Texas Tech at #17 Houston (this should be a shoot out)

Hey football fans, slight change in the schedule for Sunday. We will not show the USC vs Washington game at 1 p.m. because it it not broadcast in football headquarters (Texas).

Instead, at 1 p.m. we will start with Florida vs Tenn and if that turns into a wash we can switch to Nebraska vs VT.

The Texas game will follow the early game, say around 4 p.m.

Don't forget about our live broadcast of the Cowboys vs Giants game on Monday morning at 8 a.m.

Hook em...see you tomorrow. KJ

The NCAA season is off to a great start and the crowd at Bubba's has been great on Sundays. If you haven't had a chance to get out and enjoy the games and atmosphere, but sure to come out this Sunday for the following:

1 p.m. USC at Washington
4 p.m. Texas Tech at Texas

Then, LIVE Monday morning we will show the BIG D and their very first game in the new stadium,.....against who else but the New York Giants. This live game will start at 8 a.m. with a replay later in the evening at 6 p.m. On Tuesday we will show the Monday night game in its usual time slot of 6 p.m.

We'll do our first live broadcast of the season this coming Sunday when we feature USC vs Ohio State at 8 a.m. 100 rmb at the door will include one free draught beer or bloody mary, plus an all-you-can-eat breakfast taco bar through halftime.

Following the live game we will show an afternoon game....Notre Dame vs Michigan, followed by a replay of the USC/OSU game for those that might miss the morning broadcast.

See you at Bubba's!

It's finally that time of year again folks. The NCAA football season officially starts this weekend and Bubba's will again be ground zero for watching the biggest games from across the country. This Sunday's tailgate party will feature specials on barbeque and cold refreshments, with the following matchups on the big screens:

1 p.m. -- #13 Georgia vs #9 Oklahoma State
4 p.m. -- #5 Alabama vs #7 Virginia Tech

Now listen, if you want to spoil your fun and go on the internet to see the scores, please don't stroll into Bubba's wearing your team jersey and a big smile on your face. We don't wanna know scores and we don't talk scores on this day, so stay away from your computer and come down to join the party!

As always, see ya at Bubba's,

My favorite time of the year is quickly approaching! And from the phone calls, messages, and e-mails I’m receiving, I know many of you are also anticipating what’s coming up: NCAA tailgate parties at Bubba’s and our very own Fourth Annual Shanghai Chili Cook-Off.

As for NCAA Football, Bubba’s will once again be ground zero for all you fans that want to follow the season from beginning to end, with two or three major games featured each Sunday (we’ll call this same day delayed). We’ll show them in progression based on their scheduled times in the U.S., so you will not be exposed to any later scores during games. To that point, if you are coming to watch at Bubba’s, please refrain from checking scores on the internet Sunday mornings and don’t talk scores inside Bubba’s if you do.

I’ll send a weekly e-mail to inform what games we’ll be playing and at what times, but to wet your appetite here are our plans for the first few weeks of the season:

Sunday, Sept 6
2 p.m. #13 Georgia vs Ohio State
6 p.m. #5Alabama vs #7 Georgia Tech

Sunday, Sept 13
8 a.m. (LIVE) #4 USC @ Ohio State
2 p.m. #23 Notre Dame v Mich
6 p.m. replay of USC/OSU game

Sunday, Sept 20
2 p.m. Texas Tech @ #2 Texas

As usual, if you have a special request on a game I am more than open to taking suggestions. This includes NFL coverage, which we’ll showcase each Monday and Tuesday evenings.

The Fourth Annual Shanghai Chili Cook-off is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 31, from Noon to 6 p.m. for the general public, and 6 a.m. start for competing teams. We'll also have prizes for best costume in the public and best theme for chili contestants. Live music, cold beer, lots of great chili, and games will make this one day not to be missed in Shanghai!

To compete, contact Ken Walker at kennethjoewalker@gmail.com. Potential judges should contact Mark Brown, Head Judge, at markbchina@gmail.com.
