Can you watch the LSU/Florida game on your iPhone at cbssports.com?

Has anyone tried this? If so, did it work?

My son has a double header Saturday afternoon that directly conflicts with the LSU/Florida game and I was going to try to catch the game on my iPhone.

I've watched college games from the CBS app on my iPad before, but I've never tried on my iPhone, but I'm pretty sure that you can!

You can, but you need wi fi. I tried it once without it and would not work.

I watched on my iPhone fine last season. Haven't tried it this year but, unless the CBS sports app has changed, you should be good to go.

Here's my options:

AT&T 3G for iPhone
AT&T 4G for iPhone
Verizon Service for iPad
Sprint Card for PC

Any chance of one of these options working?

The funny thing is I watched some LSU baseball games while on the road (through that place we are not supposed to mention and with their app) through a 3G connection and it worked quite well. I might have to try that route too but the problem is, no one is probably going to stream it because the game will be carried free nationally anyway.

It sounds like people that may have trouble are having connectivity issues. I should be fine at the location I will be Saturday.

I just downloaded the app but I don't see anything about live game feeds. Is that just because it is a Tuesday or am I possibly missing something?

CBS has an app and you can watch the games on your phone with 3G coverage. My bests friend's brother had a wedding last year on the day of the Tennessee game and watched the whole game on my phone.

Ok, thanks for that heads up. May have to be out all day saturday (still figuring it out) and my phone gets 3G.

I'll at least try to get some of the game in, if I'm out

ETA: NM, didn't realize it was only for iphone. I have an android

Yes it works, i do it all the time. Do not need wifi to watch.
Make sure you turn your ringer on, silencing your ringer puts gary and verne on mute. It took me several games last year to figure that out.

Download an app called JustinTv. They usually have the game streaming.
