If I had to guess, it's CST giving the middle finger to Tiger fans who aren't Cox customers.

I think it's a contractual thing with playing at the Astros' park. My guess is that ESPN wanted to stream the games and listed them on WatchESPN, but then were told they couldn't, and had to remove them.

Pretty much, their website is sad. They are advertising these 3 LSU games like it's the Super Bowl. There's a countdown till game time. They must not have much left to put on the air.

This from LSU's preview of the game:

All LSU games will be televised by Cox Sports Television and by Root Sports Southwest. There will be no online streaming of any games in the Houston College Classic.

Any one have an idea if you can just add the ROOT sports network for the weekend instead of paying for a whole month of the sports package?

DirecTV btw.

Pretty sure you can add it for the weekend but it will be a package upgrade not just 1 channel.

Tonights game is showing on the alternate channel live. Worried about the blackout though.

If you have uverse, try channel 1697 for Friday and Saturday games and 1758 for Sunday.

Just got back home, tried to watch the A&M game to see if this channel works, and what do you know, it's blacked out for me...

ETA: Uverse channel 1697

I can still try to do BPB, but I can't see it either... I'll have to use the radio feed.
