That really sucks! It's finally football season and now I can't even watch the mean green in their first game. I just dont see how there is nobody willing to show this game?

I am thinking about buying the online thing. I can hook my laptop up to my TV through the video card and watch it (kind of) like a TV game. Crip**KATT said that last year he tried it and it was pretty choppy... so it might be a waste of money... but I imagine that it is very much like watching the live feeds on Big Brother, not the greatest - but at least you can put a visual with listening to the MGRN.

If anyone wants to, maybe we can all get together to watch it somewhere that has high speed internet and a TV.. I will just bring my laptop with me and hook it up for everyone to see, and then we can chip in for the $30 bucks or whatever it is for the online viewing cost.

Crip, do you have the link to where I would go to see if this game will be offered online? What company does the SEC/LSU use? I know that the Belt used a company out of Monroe for our trial of internet feed games but they have gone belly up since last year. The owner was a ULM grad and posts occasionally on the Sun Belt message board. They are actually just waiting on technology to improve before they re-introduce the idea because they got tired of refunding peoples' money when the game did not stream correctly for them. Did you guys use that same Monroe based company or is it a different one?
