When they moved half the PSU games to the Big 10 Network, I started checking out CTV.  I don't know if they have the ability to stream the game, but they have the pegs that move across the field and a radio feed of the game.  They might offer live streaming for a fee, I can't remember.

We had to get Setanta so we could get college football last year. I don't think I've ever seen my boyfriend so excited!

NASN will certainly show Ohio State games! I'm currently waiting impatiently for the season to begin - my Dawgs are ranked #1, and rightfully so!!  ;D  We pay something like £10 a month and see at least half the Georgia games each season, some live and some taped.

I go with ESPN360, Slingbox and NASN. I get to see my Kentucky games one way or another. ESPN360 is really good and cheap. Probably your best bet.

Yeah, I've really pleased with ESPN 360 so far this season - only a couple of dropped connections.

But it's worth it....

:(  I missed the game yesterday, so I only know we kicked Illinois across the field, what happened?  Is it the same leg he broke last year?

I am not sure to be honest.  My dad mails me the local paper's game summary every week, but I threw away last week's already.

I think he hurt it on opening day.

I DVRed the game and am watching it...they have'nt mentioned what he did, but apparently he took "pain pills" so he could walk on the sidelines and at halftime was going to take another. 

Which paper do you get sent? I always get sent the Patriot News Penn State insert.

From the Daily Collegian:

Quote
Joe Paterno intends to be on the sidelines when Penn State plays Illinois, he said Tuesday after-

noon during his weekly press conference.

He also said he could have been on the sideline in the second half of Saturday's 45-3 win over Temple.

"I figured we've got a lot of football ahead of us," Paterno said. "Let's maybe take it a little easier upstairs."

Paterno, who injured his right knee in practice when he demonstrated an onsides kick before Penn State played Coastal Carolina, seemed to be walking better when he left his press conference. His limp wasn't as pronounced as it was Saturday, when he gingerly walked the sidelines before the game and for the first half.

He spent the second half of Saturday's game from the coaches' booth of Beaver Stadium.

"I get more work up there than I can downstairs because I got a microphone," Paterno said after the game. "I press one and I got the offense. I push two and I've got defense. ... So when there's a timeout or something like that, I'll say get down to Tom [Bradley], get down to Mike McQueary. I wouldn't want Mike to get through a game without me chewing him out."

Paterno was also upstairs for the final two games of the 2006 season after he broke his left leg and tore ligaments in his left knee in a sideline collision at Wisconsin.

*edited to add* the AP and USAToday lists have us ranked at #6!! HOLY CRAP! I don't think we've done this well since I was in college!  (which was 1997-2002)

My freshman year was 1994.  It was all Ki-jana Carter and the Rose Bowl and we STILL didn't get #1.

I remember when people would leave Beaver Stadium at the half time because we would be up 96-15, or whatever, and there was no point in staying.  Ahhhh, glory days.
