Well if you live in Charlottesville, you can go to the campus arena and watch the game — since few without a dish don’t get ESPNU.
Obviously that won’t help most people. So this might be of interest.
ESPN launched a new website Monday to package all the network’s college sports content.
ESPNU.com is designed to be a companion for the ESPNU television network, the company said.
It will include news, scores, columns, video and audio highlights, podcasts and the live streaming of games.
The streaming will include both live simulcasts of televised games and events that will be exclusive to the Internet, the company said.
[Emphasis added.]
Now, looking on the site, I couldn’t confirm that they will actually live stream the game on Saturday. For all we know, that is still a pending feature. The other thing to remember is that if they do, it will still be the somewhat less than smooth streaming if the prior previews I’ve watched of live game streaming on ESPN Gameplan and Fullcourt are any indication. Still, if it’s all there is, it’s better than nothing.
“We will not be streaming any games that are being played on the ESPNU channel. The Pittsburgh vs Virginia will be shown on the ESPNU channel only.”
Putting Out An APB For …
… One of only two defensive players to finish in the top two in Heisman Trophy voting in the last 45 years. One, you know: 1997 winner Charles Woodson of Michigan. The second? Hugh Green (39), the devastating defensive end for the Pittsburgh Panthers. Green was a close second to South Carolina’s George Rogers for the Heisman in 1980, then went on to star for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
