Comcast doesn't have ESPNU, at least not in Valpo, until a rather premium package.

:(

I believe this game might be on ESPN 3, after the fact, or there are the numerous bootleg sites available.

I suppose that fits my definition of "rather premium" package ;)

Does ESPN3 work from Valpo comcast?  I've not tried it.

I get it on my laptop, so I guess so.  I'm not sure what has to be done for that, but I get it

If you're at home, it should automatically recognize your ISP and give you access to ESPN3 if you're eligible (I'm pretty sure just about every major ISP now includes ESPN3 access). I know for a fact that Comcast and Uverse do as I've had both of them.

You can also access ESPN3 away from home by providing your login info for your ISP account. For example, I've watched games on ESPN3 on my phone over a solid 3G signal.

OK - cool.  Thanks.

Works sort of OK from home.  A lot of these US media companies that now stream could learn a thing or two from Slingbox.  If the streaming's resource limited (bandwidth, or CPU) you should always privilege the audio.  And you should decrease the quality before you drop frames.

Let's see if the Miami game shows up.

Did anyone catch Adam Amin doing Play by Play on the UCF-Houston game on ESPN2 the other day?   His Color guy... was...   Bryce Drew.

That was fun...

Bryce has come a long way from the mumbling and hesitation days. He's very good at his job. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance.  He seemed engaged, articulate, spot-on and was having fun. I don't see him getting back into coaching. He seemed to enjoy commentating too much. Do you know if he has a long contract or a short-term trial contract?

Ummmm, no.
