My daughters' boyfriend, a Brit, has become a huge LSU fan after attending the Auburn game in Death Valley. Since going home to England he's bought some package that lets him watch ESPN games but obviously that won't work for this game. The man's dying -- can you help a Brit out?????

He should be able to watch it on the CBS Sports app.

Sports Bar on Haymarket. Tons of tellies and the beer is not as expensive as you would think. I watched LSU dismantle Notre Dame there.

Set up a Slingbox on your TV at home and, as long as you have a cell phone or wifi signal, you can watch your programming from anywhere in the world.

England is the size of Louisiana. Please be more specific if he is looking for a place to watch. Otherwise, watch ESPN app will work. He needs to log into the American site not the UK one.

Crap: I'm an idiot. Game is on CBS. Sling box is your best bet.

The CBS sports app will not work in England.... Trust me I was stationed there for 3 years... Unless he sets a proxy with US ip .... front row is the only thing I found that worked

I'm in France.

The game isn't on ESPN so obviously that is out (although ESPN Player is fantastic... The Watch ESPN app is different and doesn't work here.)

CBS Sports is Geoblocked.

However, if you're using an iPad/iPhone/Android you can download Puffin browser and watch it on CBS. This renders flash on their own servers (US) so geolocation isn't an issue - it's a tad choppy.

If you're like me though and you have your computer connected to a TV you'll need to either VPN or use First Row Sports (install simple adblock for chrome before going to the last site.)

It's on ESPNUK.

I'm not there at all. My daughter's precious boyfriend is there - born and raised - and has become an amazing college football fan, mostly LSU! He's a great guy and we've had so much fun texting during games - ha cannot miss this one!!!!
