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:
https://www.hotspotshield.com/
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.

Unless you go to the game, have CST, or know how to internet well.
So your title is a little misleading.

They have CST. In the past College Station is blacked out because a portion of Bryan has CST.

stated in my post. I am providing a solution to the people who don't "internet well".

Oh gotcha. Dallas and houston look fine

Your title should be "How to watch tomorrow's baseball game if you don't have CST"
Which makes sure the right people read it. But let's face it, no matter what you do, there will be threads asking this exact question. Valiant effort on your part. If Chicken allows this to stick around, it's something other posters will be able to provide those who ask for help in the future.

There was a guy on a certain app that would stream the games. I don't wanna say who or what app cuz idk if that will ruin it. Just wondering if he was going to be back this year?

Thank you very much !!!
I am just trying to avoid some of the last minute "freak-out" tomorrow. It happens every year for a few games - at 6:30 people will kick back, turn on the TV, Roku, chromecast, etc and realize their is no game because they don't have CST.
You are right though, there will probably be multiple threads tomorrow evening about getting the game.

They don't black-out on a household by household basis. If CST is available in the area it doesn't matter if you have it or not.
Like I stated earlier, College Station is always blacked out because CST is available in Bryan. So nobody in College Station can have CST but they are blacked out because a town close by (or in the area) has it.

Still feel bad for that lone LSU fan who lives in southwestern Nebraska..........

Austin seems to be fine but can't really tell. I don't think we have cox here.
