Best Live Scoreboard or Stream for Michigan v. Alabama?

Submitted by BlueFordSoftTop on

 

I must attend a client-friend's wedding on September 1.  The ceremony begins at kick-off.  Naturally, I intend to take a back seat and at least check the play flow or scores on-line (ideally, video streaming is available).
 
What is the best on-line service, free or pay-by-event, that I can use to monitor the game?  I already visited the ABC website and failed to locate a stream there.  ESPN on-line facility blows Chunkums The Clown on my Android 4G device. And I truly haven't kept up with the latest sports sites or their technologies.
 
BTW dude is a Wildcat alum and he will be punished on November 10th and otherwise for his heinous planning.  I will have my revenge.

It will likely be on watchespn.com, but depending on your cable provider it may not be available to you. (My experience has been that even if you have the right cable provider, if you are not accessing it from your home that has that cable internet as well, it won't work.)

vipbox.tv will have links to the game, though how good they are will not be known until the game starts.

But if you are doing this from your phone, you may have to go with just play-by-play, instead of a stream. I was once able to get a working link from justin.tv on my phone, using the $5 justin.tv app. But justin.tv streams tend to get shut down faster than other services, at least in my experience. 

For play-by-play I go with ESPN, usually. Yahoo isn't too bad, either.

When decades ago I first learned about prima nocta I was appalled, however, the math in me quickly deduced that I was likely to only have but a single wife yet my broad network of fellow U-M alumni would yield very many wives who would be exposed to this prima nocta way.  I immediately became a convert to the doctrine.  I believe HermosaBlue has contributed valuable insight.  Consider.

Try downloading the Justin.tv app. I have apple so I'm not sure if it available on android. You should be able to stream on it. If you can somehow get wifi it is pretty good.

First Row.. If it gets choppy and is full of ads like it has in the past do yourself a favor and just listen to the radio on Mgoblue.

firstrowsports.eu for all my streaming needs Michigan football or otherwise, vipbox is pretty good as well. I am at a family event as well the 1st, however all in attendance are Michigan fans, thus it will be shown.

Best of luck,

Similar situation. Wedding in Northern Michigan. Groom is a UNC alum/MSU fan and Bride is an Iowa alum. Interestingly enough, one of our mutual friends is the nephew of a certain head football coach in East Lansing. I really hope Boise State has some tricks up its sleeve earlier in the day, just in case things go badly during the evening.

I am in an even worse predicament.  I am going to be in Kenya in the middle of my honeymoon and on the 1st I will be right outside Kilimanjaro getting ready to start the hike the next day.  However, we should have internet access in the hotel so hoping to get a stream or at least a play by play.

ESPN3 will not be streaming the game, and ABC also does not have a stream. Agree with everyone else that firstrowsports is the most reliable for having the stream up, but tends to not be the best quality. I love streaming from ESPN3 when available.
