We only have 2 channels showing college football. Eurosport who sometimes show big ten games and ESPN America who show some scheduled games but these days nhl seems to have taken the slots.

Go to the above link and make sure you select Ireland as the country. Flick to the Saturdays you are here and it will tell you if any games are on. The Woolshed on Parnell St shows games but the problem with Saturdays is Rugby and Premier League soccer right now being the favoured sport in bars.

yep tallaght is spot on. Our selection of NCAA football on tv is minimal.

so you will probably end up having to stream the game online. you should postpone your trip till 2012 and watch notre dame play live over here :D

ndtoronto, there is no way to watch ND home games in Ireland, because we cannot get NBC on this side of the Atlantic. Usually away games will be shown in any pub that caters for American football, as their games usually get covered by our ESPN feed.

My parents are from Kildare and Meath

ND vs Navy in Croke Park - that brings back memories!

There's an interesting story behind the fixture:

Despite the one-sided result the last few decades, most Notre Dame and Navy fans consider the series a sacred tradition for historical reasons. Notre Dame, like many colleges, faced severe financial difficulties during World War II. The US Navy made Notre Dame a training center and paid enough for usage of the facilities, with federal tax money, to keep the University afloat. Notre Dame has since extended an open invitation for Navy to play the Irish in football and considers the game annual repayment on a debt of honor. The series is marked by mutual respect, as evidenced by each team standing at attention during the playing of the other's alma mater after the game, a tradition that started in 2005. Navy's athletic director, on renewing the series through 2016, remarked "...it is of great interest to our collective national audience of Irish fans, Naval Academy alumni, and the Navy family at large."[13] The series is scheduled to continue indefinitely; renewals are a mere formality.

Yup^^

It's said that ND football has one friend, one enemy and one rival: Navy, Michigan and USC respectively.

Hate to correct another person. But alot of bars in Dublin have motorised systems these days with the ever changing rights to football they have to be able to keep up. Getting them to do it on a Sunday when the football is on would be difficult though :P.

Yeah, would be interested in finding that out aswell.

You need a standard dish. And you point it 15.0°W and Telstar 12 broadcasts of this. Correct me if Im wrong. You will also need a satellite reciever box.
