A few people asking if the game will be streamed... there are places/people that may pick it up depending on the games they choose to stream but you can watch a crapload of games at
http://www.myp2p.eu/index.php?part=sports
click on American Football and go to saturdays (set your time zone too)... there isnt a link for michigan yet but there is discussion in the forum that it may be streamed and usually within a day to a few hours before the game things materialize more
You can also use the Zattoo player
except..
It doesn't work as well when 5000 people try to connect to it at the same time.. It is STILL a test feed :) I think I posted this for the first time during last years EMU game. Anyway, after the word got out it kinda became useless. But the UMich VPN is useful in other ways.
For those of you that don't have one of the few providers that ESPN360 has tie ups with, you can still watch ESPN360 if you get on the UMich VPN. Again, remember to connect using the wireless-on-campus profile. For some reason the other profile assigns a wrong IP. I might be wrong but many of the games that end up on ESPNU or something are usually shown on ESPN360.. for free.. and at high quality :) So, there..

So far we're winning but a little mgobump can't hurt.
UM is streaming the BTN and the local ABC affiliate over this Zattoo player they're testing... The quality is so-so, but it's definitely better than nothing. As long as you have a umich.edu login, you should be able to set this up.
I copied these instructions when someone else posted them a couple weeks ago but didn't take note of whom it was. So, a big tip of the hat to whomever it was.
1. go to http://www.itd.umich.edu/news/2007spring/05092007.html
2. log in using umich stuff and download the zattoo player (set it up while you're at it.)
3. you get an auto generated password sent to your umich email which you use to login into the player, so save that email.
4. if you are on campus you can just start watching, but if you are not, then go to http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/network/wireless/software.html
5. download the cisco vpn client and set it up. its going to ask you to reboot. once you reboot, the client should start up. if not just go to your start menu>>programs>>cisco systems vpn client>>vpn client
6. click connect and your name/password are your uniqname and your umich password. connect to UM-on-campus-wireless
7. once it connects the program should minimize and you'll have a little lock in your system tray. start up zattoo.
I set this up on my mac a couple weeks ago, and it seems to be working fine.
