Site to watch the game over the internet?
This weekend I travel down to Oxford for a wedding at Miami U. I somehow doubt BW3's in Oxford will be playing the UM WMU game, and I dont know which regional map southern Ohio falls into..
I know a site to watch the browns games on, but never looked into a internet relay / rebroadcast of UM games... Anyone know of a good place to watch the game online?

I'm sure channelsurfing.net will have it. Their lineup will be up tomorrow. No worries.

abc/espn2. The game will be on one of the two channels all across the nation. The issue is getting it on a tv at the bar (my problem in Laramie, WY).

for the info David. I saw there were two games on ABC and wasn't sure if we'd get the feed on the West Coast from the Michigan Game.

I would say that they will have it on the TV. The Ohio State game will already be over so the next thing the Buckeye fans will want to do is watch the Michigan game and root against them. It would suck having to listen to some idiot fans(which is why I wouldn't want to go) but I would say it will be on.

I never understood the acronym BW3. Buffalo Wild Wings. There's only 2 W's.
Either way, bigtennetwork.com is supposedly streaming games.
But you gotta pay for it. I would just call the B Dubs and ask them. They're usually pretty good about putting at least 1 TV to your game. Probably won't get sound though.

Originally called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck, from which the abbreviation BW3 was created, the restaurant became a franchise with more than 550 locations across 38 U.S. states.[3] The original name and acronym, BW3, was intentionally reminiscent of the acronym TW3 popularly used in referring to the television show That Was The Week That Was, a show of which co-founder James Disbrow was a fan. The company later changed its name to Buffalo Wild Wings, but still uses the short name BW3 on occasion due to the common usage by patrons.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Wild_Wings

The Big Ten Network will only stream games:
a) that are televised on the Big Ten Network
b) to viewers outside the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean
So, a big NO for this game.
I think of this in four categories:
1. Games televised on Big Ten Network
If you live in US/Canada, don't get BTN and can't make it to a sports bar that will put the game on for you, your options for games (Michigan vs. Eastern Michigan, for sure, and likely vs. Delaware State, vs. Indiana and/or vs. Purdue) are non-official online streams such as justin.tv or others mentioned above.
2. Afternoon ABC games with either regional or national coverage
The Big Ten Conference's agreement with ABC is that all 12:00 or 3:30 games involving a Big Ten team will either have national coverage (in which case, you can get it on any TV with an antenna) or will be mirrored on ESPN2 in any area where ABC carries a different game (meaning you can watch it on any TV with basic cable; sorry if your hotel doesn't have this channel). See below for online viewing.
3. Primetime ABC games
There is no contractual obligation for ABC to mirror games on ESPN2 should it have two games in prime time. There is a possibility that fans of a Big Ten team could be out of luck in terms of your ability to watch the game AT HOME ON YOUR TV because I do not believe that primetime games with regional coverage not available in your area will be carried on ESPN GamePlan. MSU fans suffered this last year in Chicago no less. You would have to go to a bar with satellite service in order to watch the game on TV. See below for online viewing.
Right now, Michigan's only scheduled ABC primetime game is @ Iowa but, as of now, there does not appear to be any other marquee games scheduled for the same time slot that ABC could air (Florida game will be on CBS), though, this can certainly change.
4. Games carried on ESPN - by definition national
Anyone will get this game that gets ESPN.
Most, but not all, ESPN/ABC televised games are available online at ESPN360.com, but ONLY if ESPN has a deal with your specific Internet Service Provider. You can see if yours does at ESPN360.com by clicking GET ACCESS in the top nav bar and then (hopefully) selecting your ISP from the drop down menu.
If you are not able to use ESPN360.com, or if the game in which you are interested is not being streamed there, you can always try the non-official streaming sites such as justin.tv mentioned in the above posts.
Hope this is helpful. Sorry that it is long and apologies in advance for any factual mistakes.

Wouldn't happen to be Erica / Ryan wedding, no?
Also trying to figure out how to watch game without wife b*tchg at me during ceremony / reception.

Looks like they do. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The sad thing is it's probably a step up from 95% of the restaurants in town when I was there.

I am going to be stuck at a Kansas State game tomorrow with the in-laws and can't watch the game. Anyone have any help for me to catch a good mobile gamecast on my Verizon Blackberry?
