Whats my best/easiest route to watch Cajuns vs Convicts from South Africa.

With no streaming available is anything easier than just Facetiming my cousin and have him broadcast it to me from his ipad?

American sports bar?

ETA: Or is the issue that there's no football broadcast there at all?

Why not? If you're referring to it being blocked, just use a VPN service. You can buy 1 month for ~$6-8.

How about you just enjoy being in South Africa instead of watching an LSU game, of which you will have 11 more chances to do before the year is out. Sounds a hell of a lot better than waking up at some ungodly time.

The game starts at 1:30 am local time there so our plan is to wake u at 3 am and catch the 2nd half. We have a whale watching tour that morning and we leave for 7 am so I don't think anything would be open at that hour. From my understanding ESPN 3 doesnt stream live sports outside of the US.

This sounds great but there's only 1 problem...I have no idea what you're talking about. Whats the best way to go about that?

I'm ashamed in myself to not think of the time zones.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) basically re-IPs your electronic device to make it look as if it is coming from a different location. You can get an App that will do this for you. Some have free trials.

Like he said, you can download an app (Phone, tablet, PC) and use it to have you "appear" to be in another location (USA in this case). Then you can stream the game just like you would at home. Many do have free trials, but usually that doesn't have enough data to watch a game. I like Windscribe. It's like $7/mo and you can purchase a single month. I've had the best luck with that and I watch a lot of games out of the country.

I've had some fun times watching LSU games in Europe...of course, the time change wasn't so bad & I would probably have been in a bar drinking anyway.

How much do you think I need for one game?

The 10GB should be well more than enough.
