about 85% of ISU's games can be found on one of these sites. just go to one of these (firstrow seems to be most reliable), click basketball and scroll until you see the game. these sites are essentially all the same in how they operate. you will get bombarded with pop-up ads every single time you click your mouse. i always minimize my open window so it is easier to X-out of pop-ups. don't download any plugins that they say you need. you don't need them. don't click "download" don't click "play" or "play now" don't click "watch in hd". The game will be streaming behind all of these temptations.

you will have to x-out of about 5 ads each time you try and watch a stream. be patient and look for little x's a few seconds after opening the window. they will eventually come up and you can remove the ads from the front of the screen. some may take as much as 15 seconds before an x or "close" button appears. some ads will have false x's to trick you into clicking on their garbage link. look for a smaller x on any given ad. once all ads have been removed, the game will come on. watch it full screen or pop up ads will continue.

every now and then a game will be posted with only one link which doesn't work. you are s.o.l. in that situation. often times the games aren't linked up until right at tip off or shortly after so don't expect to watch pregame.

some claim these sites are full of viruses. i used a mac for 1.5 years and have now had a pc for a year and haven't caught anything so far.

Also, if you want to complain to KFXA (Ch 28 FOx in Waterloo) for choosing American Idol over ISU here is their email. comments@fox28iowa.com

It looks like this will be the case on all Wednesday games.

If you feel you must send an email, do it anonymously, you don't want that level of ineptitude in business sense attached to your name.

I'm in Colorado (no local tv for me). Firstrow has been completely unreliable for "Big 12 Network" games. I wish there was a poster here who had some nuts and would stream for us. The game against purple ku, I was able to go to a bar and find the game on the Altitude network.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to get the game again if I go to a bar with the Directv sportpak?

For those in the KC area, it will be televised on channel 38, "The Spot".

No reason why KFXA cannot show the game on an over-the-air digital subchannel. American Idol can air just fine on their main channel.

After going out of my way to watch the Texas Tech game I will not watch it as to not jinx the team again.

**GMan** · 01-30-2013, 01:51 PM

ESPN3 says it will be on their site, and I've been watching many ISU games there. That's where I'm watching it.

**mtowncyclone13** · 01-30-2013, 01:57 PM

Darn satellite went out at lunch today. Hope it gets working again before the game tonight.

Still waiting for ESPN3 to pick up my internet provider (CenturyLink), or vice versa.

Now, you can only watch ESPN3 exclusive content, and ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU events that are broadcasted locally before 6 pm on weekdays and before 11:00 am on weekends. You need WatchESPN access (which barely anyone has) to watch everything. This ISU/OKST game falls into the ESPN3 exclusive content, which everyone with access can watch. Also, something which goes missed a lot is that ALL replays can be watched on their website with ESPN3 access and replays usually get posted pretty quickly after the game.

Wow, how the hell did I get that confused. For some reason, I was thinking ESPN3 changed to WatchESPN so that's where my confusion came into play.

Yeah, not sure how I did that...

Does anyone know a site that will work with an ipad?? I will be in class and I have espn3 with my dads Comcast account but espn will black it out in Ames. I tried front row and a couple others alike last week but had no luck. Or does anyone know a way to trick the espn3 app to make it work??
