Question about espn360
Unfortunately, I have a wedding to go to this weekend and will be missing the game. I hate weddings to begin with so this is obviously going to really tick me off.
Anyone know if you can watch espn360 in Toronto? Is it free? I know they have Rogers internet network there. If I am not mistaken, they show a recording after it is completed. Any help on this is appreciated.

I believe the ISP provider on the computer you're using has to carry ESPN360. Since you're in Canada, you'll prolly out of luck (I could be wrong). Try justin.tv to catch a stream of the game, but Big Ten has been cracking down lately so no guarantees.

I think Canada is out of luck for a lot of American videos... I don't know why.

The Wikipedia entry on ESPN 360 (here) says something about it being available if you tie your account to an ISP that allows 360. So if you have Comcast, for example, and you sign up with your Comcast account, then you should be able to use 360 even when not on Comcast.
Otherwise, do you know someone with a slingbox?

I would go with EPSN360. I am sure you can check with epsn.com to make sure they have delivery of 360 online in Toronto. It is very likely they do. I used ESPN360 in europe for the last year and have had very good results with it when i am at home in Switz or traveling in europe for business. I also have Tivo/Slingbox arrangement with a buddy in California, so I have all bases covered....360 offers you options for a season pass or a weekend/game pass, but its worth the 10 bucks to know you will see the game vs hoping Justin or Ustream is not overloaded with traffic, has poor quality or frequently drops the stream....trust me, its almost worse than not seeing it....picture 4th and goal in the 4th qtr in Ann Arbor, M down by 4, Shoelace is coming to the line with a 4 WR set, clock is ticking.............screen on your laptop freezes......... when you get back online, the feed is over, the final score is posted and you catch the players walking to the tunnel (Hopefully after singing the victors to the student section!). I have had it happen and vowed never again while working in Europe....
