With college baseball getting into full swing this weekend, many are wondering how we can watch our beloved Tigers make another run for Omaha. This thread should serve to answer most, if not all, of your viewing questions.

The 2015 LSU Baseball Schedule

The link above can be used as a quick reference for game times and how each game can be viewed/listen to.

The SEC Network

Since the inception of the SEC network last fall, many have complained that it was mostly pointless and nothing more than another avenue through which to praise a single certain school. Baseball season is the time when you will realize how great having the SECN really is. College Football and basketball have the popularity across America to land several big network contracts so that almost every game is relatively easy to find on our televisions. College baseball has not been afforded this luxury, leaving us to scramble to find game feeds online or listen to our wonderful radio personality, Hawthorne. These days are mostly over thanks to the SECN.

Almost every game will be available to stream through the SECN via WatchESPN.

You simply go to WatchESPN.com and sign in with your cable or satellite provider. Many devices can stream this directly to your TV, including AppleTV, Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Fire Stick. You can always tune in from most smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

If a game has not been picked by a network, you can most likely find it on WatchESPN. ALL SEC games, away and home, will be on TV or SECN (watchESPN)

Network Television Games (ESPN2, ESPNU)

Some games this season can be viewed the old fashioned way on the boob tube. These games will also likely be broadcast on the SECN via WatchESPN.

Games that will be broadcast on network television

April 23 - Texas A&M @ LSU - ESPNU
April 30 - LSU @ MSU - ESPNU
May 1 - LSU @ MSU - ESPNU
May 2 - LSU @ MSU - ESPN2
MAY 15 - LSU @ USCe - ESPNU


If I didn't list a game here, that means it is NOT an ESPN channel.

Out of conference road games

This was the biggest concern going into this season because we were not sure all schools would have the equipment to broadcast. Cox Sports Television (CST) will broadcast most, if not all, road OOC games.

CST to broadcast OOC baseball games

If you have CST, great, you can watch these games on your TV. IF you do not have CST, you will likely have to tune in to your radio for audio. The SECN will likely not carry these games in an capacity.

The Houston College Classic (March 6-8) will be broadcast by CST as well.

GeauxZone/Radio/Other Streaming Sites

Geauxzone will still be offering audio I believe, but video will no longer be provided by the service.

Radio is always listed as Eagle 98.1 or in some cases 100.7 FM. The are Baton Rouge Area channels and may not be available to you. You can try the iHeartRadio or TuneIn radio apps on a smartphone.

Other streaming sites are not discussed on this board. Some sites were used in the past but you should know before you ask about them that these sites have been shut down or taken down by their admins.

Hopefully this will clear up some confusion and eliminate the need for many threads throughout the season asking where or how you can watch the baseball games.

As always, Geaux Tigers!

UPDATE: DirectTV has now added the watchESPN access to your cable package. See the link here
if I messed anything up or need to add/delete something, please let me know.

Same here. Since SECN+ is new this year, it'll be an adjustment for a lot of people.

Hopefully we'll find a way to stream these (legally/illegal) as well for us out-of-starters

Thanks

I think you may have messed up your description/definition of "network" TV. I may be wrong but I have always thought network TV is ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. ESPN is not a network channel but is a cable channel.

Just an FYI for those of us without CST: Both radio stations that carry the games are available on the TuneIn app. I can't say if there will be any legal video streams, though.

So the biggest question, can I stream the game thru WatchESPN outside of the US?

If not go miss the first 2 games

I believe you can if you use a VPN but I am not too sure on this. I would check with the tech board about this

I live in north west louisiana and have Suddenlink as my cable provider. They offer SECN but do not offer WatchESPN. Any suggestions or am I screwed?
