Are there any other options besides that? If not, I’ll just have to go the Fun Bunch route.

I had to pay for a legit VPN that let me re-route through US servers. It's only a few dollars a month, and you can pay monthly so you don't have to pay for the time between the end of baseball and start of football.

When I first got to the Philippines, Orbot (free VPN) worked fine, but WatchESPN evidently figured out that I was outside the US and I had to get a paid one.

I don't understand why ESPN has that policy. I own a house in Covington and pay for a cable subscription. IMO, that should entitle me to the same access as everyone else who pays for cable in part so as to have access to WatchESPN and other similar apps regardless of where I am in the world at a given moment.

I really developed an appreciation for CheerWhine during the time period when WatchESPN stopped working and before I decided to spend money to get around it. It was during the SEC Baseball tournament and I was waking up at 3 and 4 am to catch the games.

FWIW, if all else fails the audio is available at LSUSports.net. Nothing like watching the game but better than nothing.
