Is there a way to watch LSU games online?

Either live, or the next day?
I'm overseas, and want to be able to watch all the games (not just the big ones). Slingbox is not an option, so I'm looking for options online. Hopefully HD, and hopefully for free, but I don't mind paying for watching them online, as long as I get all of them.

It depends in part on where you are, and which US network the game is being shown on.
ESPN3.com is an online service showing all games on the ESPN network, but it is only available in the US. If you try to access it from abroad, it won't let you. However you can get a US proxy server (google it if you aren't familiar with the concept), and access ESPN3.com through that.
ESPNplayer.com is the equivalent of ESPN3.com, and available elsewhere in the world. I use it in Europe, but I'm not sure its available worldwide, in fact I'm pretty sure it isn't. Try it out and see, you will soon find out if it's available. It is a subscription service, but you pay like $100 for a year, with unlimited access to all ESPN college football games (at any one time they might be streaming 10 games) and lots of other sports as well.
For games shown on CBS (a common occurrence for LSU), in previous years every game has been available to stream live from the main CBS website (CBS.com or CBSsports.com). I presume it will be again this year. However you will need a US proxy server to access that, it isn't available if connecting directly from elsewhere in the world.
The justintv solution is not recommended. It is being done in breach of copyright law, and the quality is generally terrible. And I'm sure there are other similar services, but the same comments apply.
Depending on where you are, you should check to see if the ESPN America channel is available on local cable or satellite. It is a channel dedicated to US sports (unlike the generic ESPN channels around the world) and it is generally an optional "pay extra" channel. However it shows 3 or 4 games live in HD every Saturday, and other games on replay. It also shows CBS games, so LSU is often featured.

It'll mostly be in the UK and other European locations.
If by "get a US proxy server", are you referring to downloading one of those apps on my computer that gives me a US IP address so that the internets thinks I'm in the US, or is there another method for "getting a US proxy server"?
So, you pay $100/year for ESPNplayer.com in the UK (assuming from your username), and can stream any ESPN cfb live, or watch it the next day (for the games that are in the middle of the night in the UK)? That's not bad.
So the US proxy server deal will allow me to watch CBS games either live (streaming) or the next day if I want to pull it up and rewatch it?
Thanks for the help!

so streaming online is totally wrong, yet it's okay to fake an IP to block restrictions.. Okay. Any ways, it's up to the content holder whether or not they care to shut it down.. and for the most part they don't care about college. In fact ESPN alone has never shut any of their programs streaming except for professional sports. ESPN America sounds like a good idea if it's not too pricey.
Any ways tho I got all LSU football games on justin tv in exceptional quality. Just look in the sports directly come game time. And will have them all archived.
If you do have or borrow a US cable subscription to view things like ESPN3.com or CBSsports and need a free US ip made easy you can download a free program called Hotspot Shield.. run it.. then run your web browser and go from there.

Thanks London, I'm new to this proxy server business. Are there any that you recommend in regards security and reliability?

i dont get what the big deal is about justintv. I've watched a bunch of LSU games on it and haven't had an issue. The quality isn't the best but hey it's better than not watching it at all.

Frick the copyright laws. Justintv app is pretty sweet on iPhone.

A proxy server isn't an application or program, its a service provided by (in the case of a US proxy server) someone in the US which gives you logon credentials which you enter into your internet browser. When you get a proxy-server service the provider will email you the credentials and also instructions on how to do it (which depends on which browser you use and which version). Once it is set up, what then happens is that whenever you enter an IP address, your browser sends the instructions to the US computer (instead of the intended target) which then on-sends them to the intended target, so the intended target sees the request coming from a US computer. The video is then streamed back to you via the proxy server.
I don't have any recommendation for a particular service. Some are free, some you pay for, but it isn't expensive (like $5/month). The paid services are apparently more reliable.
Re ESPNplayer - yes, you pay $100/year or thereabouts, and can stream any ESPN cfb live, or watch it the next day (for the games that are in the middle of the night in the UK). In fact games are available for months afterwards. I'm pretty sure ESPNplayer is available throughout Europe.
Re CBS games - a proxy server will let you watch them live, but I'm not sure about replay - it depends on whether CBS provides them for replay and I don't know whether they do. I've never looked, only watched live.
