This is really starting to piss me off. When I found out it was picked up by CST I was like Dish Network ch. 421 or whatever -- I'm hitting an LSU bar w/ Dish here in Dallas. Then not on in Tx. Today I struggled through half the game until I finally found it on justin tv. Then they announce espn3 pick it up. Only to find out its blackedout. First time something has every been blackout for me. I watched LSU baseball on espn3 all year long. They can go to hell. This is why I support all live streming. If they're not charging $$ and streming to a market not covered. Who gives a sh*t?

I'm going to do the same. Did you watch today's game on jtv? Quality is horrible buts it's all I've got. Anyway, do you know if esp3 games are ever put on channelsufing? I've got to think if it's stremed there tomorrow from espn3 the quality will be much better.

No. Listened on Geauxzone. Figured last time we traveled for a regional, I listened on a radio...listening online is the 2010 version. Still sucks though because we are spoiled. Let's just win the next 2 games and we do not have to worry about blackouts!

Amen. Hopefully we put up some crooked numbers and our pitching reproduces what they did in the SEC tourney. I just turned 29 but if I have high blood pressure and a high risk of heart attack, it’s b/c of these tigers. Speaking of blackouts and being in Dallas. I’m moving back home to south Louisiana this Friday. So, hopefully PM and company are coming home for super b/c I’m going. Lived in Dallas for the past few years and haven’t had a chance to get to the new Box. Hopefully next week.

Or ... another thought ... we could all go through proxy servers tonight and that should eliminate the blackout for those of us in LA and TX.
