I just received my visa from the Japanese Embassy today. I'm leaving in 20 days! I just graduated from the University of Oregon and was wondering if there was any way I would be able to catch the football games while I am in Japan. Anyone know of anything? ESPN online or something?

Thanks

College: no. NFL: until your eyes fall out of their sockets. (SkyPerfecTV satellite) Superbowl -- NHK BS1/2/Hi is required

For college games you have one of a few options:

1. Have a friend/relative record them and send them to you.
2. Slingbox
3. Bit Torrent

On ESPN they have GamePlan. But those are just general games and you might catch one Oregan game all year. You can check out the schedule on www.espn.com

GamePlan is not available via paid subscription anymore. It comes as part of ESPN's 360 service, which is somehow connected with U.S.-based ISPs.

I went eight years without college football...but couldn't care less as life in Asia was far better than sitting around a television watching Okies act like their lives were on the line with every snap.

You might want to be prepared.

If that is true, that is too bad.

If you like baseball you can watch games on MLB.com

If anyone wants to know how to watch just about any NFL game online, go to the link above. I am watching the pregame of the Colts-Saints game.
