Advice Needed

[nemajordude]

Saturday is my daughter's birthday, and we will be taking her to her favorite indoor water park at her request. As much as I love my Huskers, family comes first. I will however, have my trusty sidekick, my Android smart phone, with me. I've followed Husker games on Twitter but don't seem to get updated on every score. I follow Nebraska Huskers, World Herald Big Red and of course, Bo Pelini (who is apparently too busy during games to send a tweet when they score). Is there a better way than Twitter to follow the game? If it's Twitter, who should I follow to get updates on each score and big play? It's kind of hard to keep up with this board when I'm on the go, not that I don't love each and every one of you.

ESPN's college football page should have a gamecast that shows the play by play

Here is the plan:

 

1) Use the phone to get an emergency work related call

2) Use the phone to do map quest to the nearest sports bar

3) Leave the phone with wife so you can get pictures for you to see later ......... don't forget to navigate away from mapquest before handing over said phone to said wife

 

 

 

But seriously I feel the pain, I had my daughters party during the Texas game so I had to do DVR than stay away from all media and watch it later.

 

I have gone to the espn site and used the game cast and it worked ok.

 

Good Luck

There's a justin.tv app for Android, so you could watch it on the go. You could also sign up with espn or something that will send you text updates

there are a few apps (like score mobile, or something like that) that have updated scores for all events. they are a little delayed, but better than nothing.

1. iheartradio i forget the station but you can listne live

 

2. espn scorecenter

 

those would be the two best apps, also I did follow one game last year by watchting the offical game thread right here on huskerboard.

DVR & watch later. You won't be fully present with your daughter if you're trying to follow the game.

ESPN Mobile Live has it. You just need an unlimited data plan and to download the app. If you have a good signal you can watch the game live in pretty decent quality.

 

But if the water park is indoors, why not just go at 6 when the game is over?

ScoreCenter is good.. Depends what your phone is too.. I know my EVO has battery issues.. Idk if your phone has that too.. If you have battery issues i would probably just use ESPN's website, and force close the browser after everytime you look..

If the indoor water park you are going to is Coco Keys in Omaha you should be able to catch the game because they have TV’s at the bar section of the park. If you aren’t talking about that I can’t help you.

ESPN Mobile has play by play. You can also sign up for texts everytime a team scores

Lots of food ideas. The more I think about it the more I agree with 307. This is a very important birthday. Maybe I will look in on the bar on e or twice otherwise I'm going to enjoy the day.

Last Saturday my wife and I spent the day car shopping so I missed the first half of the game. But I was able to log on to ESPN's site thru my phone (Samsung Captivate/Android) and kept up with the score that way. Finally, after going to one dealer I was able to sit down and watch the second half of the game.

 

justin.tv app....gonna have to check that one out!

Depending on who your provider is you may be able to actually watch the game on ESPN3.com. I have a Droid X but cannot watch it because Verizon doesn't allow ESPN3.com on their phones. I believe Sprint does though.

 

I was at the Disney Live with my daughter this past weekend and a guy in front of me, with a Droid phone and I believe Sprint service, was watching the game on ESPN3.com. Considering we were in the Civic, the video was fairly decent. Little hopes and jumps here and there but overall not bad.

 

FYI - I did follow the instructions to try to get Verizon to allow ESPN3 on their network. Finding out that I couldn't do this was a shot to the

Does it cost extra to use espn3.com on a smartphone? (AT&T subscriber here)
