Living in the UK, I'm asleep through the evening hours, and every morning when I wake up, TD is one of the first places I check. I have to say, I'm getting to the point where I dread seeing any new sticky thread at the top...

Hopefully this will be the last bad news we get for this season.

Same here. On the bus to work right now. Damn sticky thread ruined my morning!

Eta: where in the uk are you? Have you been able to catch many games?

I'm up in the sticks, in Norwich! ha, but I love it here. I've never missed a game in the last 4-5 seasons.

I have a subscription to ESPN America (Sky TV) and ESPN Player (UK version of ESPN3)...every single LSU game is on ESPN Player except when they play on CBS, and I can get that through my parents Slingbox.

It's tough staying up for games like Idaho and Towson though, so sometimes I watch them the next day, but otherwise I take off Sunday's and stay up all night every Saturday during football season.

Are you English or American?

Cool! I went to UEA so I know Norwich! I'm English, went to Mississippi on an internship and met a Louisiana lady. As converted me!

I have the same subscriptions. I had a watching party for the Washington game.. Its easier to stay awake with other people over!

Are you American? How did you end up in Norwich??

small world...I went to LSU and did an exchange year to UEA in 99-00, meet an English gal and we moved back to Louisiana/LSU for a year, then I did a Masters at Mississippi State before moving back to Norfolk in 2004 where we have been ever since.

You can also watch the CBS games online, they are streamed from the main CBS website (at least they have been for the last few years, I assume they will be this year as well). However you need a US proxy server to be able to get the stream, as it is blocked to non-US requests.

I also have a Slingbox set up in the US, but it is only standard definition and I find that the CBS streams (and also ESPN Player - I have the same subscriptions as well) are better quality than the feed I get from the Slingbox. Whatever I'm watching I stream onto my big new Samsung HD TV, the quality is really quite good.

It's amazing how many LSU games appear on ESPN America, which means being able to watch in high definition. I'm hopeful the Auburn game will be as well - it's on at the right time (7 eastern) but the game for that slot hasn't been selected yet.

yep, I used to do the same as you because the Sling quality wasn't great, but my parents have upgraded to a higher speed upload line, so I get the Slinger streaming at about 1600kbps (close to HD) now, which is awesome.
