International Access to BCS Championship
Please help, my fellow Buckeye fans!
I live in Moscow, Russia and unless you live here too you have no idea how hard it is to get access to games. I used to use ESPN's Gameplan Online, but they did away with that this year in facor of ESPN 360, which isn't available internationally. I used to watch Buckey games occassionally on North American Sports Channel (NASN), but the only time they were on it this year was the Michigan game. Except for that game I had to listen for just listening to all games through the Buckeye Radio Network online.
The BCS Championship game will be on NASN, but I will not be in Moscow at the time. I will be in anothe rpart of Europe. I have contacted sports bars in teh city I will be, but they have all responded that they get NASN, but due to the time of the game (2:00 AM locally) they will not be open.
I have tried to find info on whether FoxSports will stream the game live online, but can't find this info. I wrote to FoxSports directly, but haven't gotten a reply.
And Buckeye Radio won't even carry the radio feed of this game due to contractual rights so I can't even just listen to it!
Can anyone help me with this? Does anyone know if the game will be streamed live on the internet?
Or possibly does anyone have a slingbox set up that they wouldn't be needeing and could give me access to it just for this game?
Please help! Thanks.

There are ways. I feel your pain; I'm in Germany so it's hard for me too. Not sure how much I can say here - might be best to PM me.

I don't know what kind of internet connection you have at your home, but if you have access to broadband while you're abroad you can try using Slingbox: Sling Media - Home of the Slingbox
This will basically let you watch your television from anywhere in the world, internet connection permitting.

Yeah, slingbox would be great. But it requires a set up somewhere with the connection to the desired television feed and the internet. In other words, it needs a host. I don't have anyone that can host this for me in the US. Therefore, I can't get it. This is why I asked if anyone that happened to have one wanted to give me access to their slingbox just for this game! All I need on this end is access. The equipment would all be set up in the US.
I am not too hopeful that I will find someone that will give me such access to their set-up, but you never know?
I just don't understand why I can't find if FoxSports will stream the games online. That could solve all the problems for me. Ugh!
