You will NOT be able to see the McNeese baseball game tonight on TV if you live

- in all of Louisiana or other "blacked" places on the map and don't have CST. ESPN blackout map:


One way to get around this is to get a VPN solution. I recommend Hotspot Shield. It is free !!! What it is meant to do is protect your identity while you surf the net. In the past, the few times I have used it, it has shown my physical location as either southern California or Chicago even though I live in Texas and I was able to view the blacked out events.

I used this locator before and after logging into Hotspot Shield to see if it was working What is my IP address. This even shows your operating system - "windows 7" and browser - "chrome", screen size and shows a map of where you could be located.

Link to Hotspot Shield:

You can download today or tomorrow and then just open it and login before the baseball game starts and it will automatically change your IP address and you should be able to watch the game on your computer.

I only know how to do this on my laptop. I use a Roku for most online streaming but don't know how to do it with the Roku. The Hotshot website says the VPN can be used with up to five devices.

It also says it can UNBLOCK any blocked website. I have seen a few posts lately about The Rant being blocked at work because of "bikini" and other words. I assume this is what the unblock would mean.

You may want to do this as backup just in case the guy who sometimes posts a link doesn't show up this season.
