Watching the game this weekend on local TV isn’t looking real great for Oklahomans right now. I just received this internal talking points memo from a Cox employee. This is what they’ve been instructed to tell maniacal OSU fans who call in wondering why they won’t see the Pokes play Arizona.
Obviously everything (and everyone) has a price — Larry Scott won’t say no if Boone offers him a 20% stake in the inheritance, but my guess is that the backlash Cox is receiving isn’t enough to warrant paying the price the Pac-12 network wants.
It’s not like if you unsubscribe from Cox, you’ll be able to see the game on U-Verse, so it’s kind of a win-tie situation for Cox instead of a win-lose situation.
My suggestion? Find a friend on the west coast, demand their cable username and password at Prentiss-point (that’s gun point for you youngsters), and watch online here.
Also, I’ll tweet out a shady link of the game being streamed online if somebody can find one on Saturday.

Kyle,
I heard this week from a friend that they use http://www.thefirstrow.eu/ to watch PPV UFC fights that are streaming live for free across the site. They said that pretty much any sporting event that is on TV is streamed across this website for viewing. I do not know if that is true and/or will apply to PAC 12 network games, but I did test it last night for the Dallas/NY Giants game and the game was being streamed. Might be at least worth a shot…
People can also hit up friends in Arkansas or Kansas for their login since Cox carries the Pac12 in those states…..
Kat- Do you live in Arkansas Kansas?
I live in Tulsa.
Lets not schedule anymore games with Pathetic Athletic Conference.
I heard from a friend that used this site (http://www.thefirstrow.eu/) to watch live streaming PPV UFC fights for free. I have no experience with this but he said any live sporting event has a link to watch it on this website. I did test it for the Dallas Cowboys game last night and it was streaming on this site. It might be worth a shot for the OSU game but I don’t know if it applies to games on the Pac 12 Network
Hoping to get a life stream in Belgium…
I have Comcast in Colorado so I have the channel. But Comcast is not one of the providers for online viewing…
Login to your Comcast account and go to http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/live/network/pac12network#. You should be golden! My mom shared her credentials with me (she is in Ft. Collins) and I can stream it here in Edmond. Good luck!!
I’m in Colorado too, but I don’t have cable. And going to sports bars will get expensive every weekend.

I’ve been able to find nearly every FBS game here:

They had last week’s game.
Sounds like PAC 12 is asking a ridiculous amount of money from Cox. Not Arizona’s fault, but certainly makes me wish Gundy would run up the score on them to prove a point.
Kat- Ok thanks. I do too, was looking for someone on here who could help us get it online
Seriously considering a roadtrip to either Wichita or Ft. Smith. Does anyone know a hotel in either town that carries PAC 12 network?
I’m surprised OSU hasn’t worked an agreement to carry the game through OKState.com for their premium members. Probably still working on the OSU ap or monitoring fake twitter accounts…
I was planning on watching on an ipad, but every link that I’ve seen doesn’t work on it. Is there something that I can download or a way to fix this? I’m sure I could get a password from someone that has Cox in KS, but wouldn’t be able to use it.
Kyle,
Called 4 locations in the Dallas area so far with no luck on the Pac 12 network. Any suggestions on places that may be showing the game? Thanks.
Try a place called Tailgaters.
Neither of the satellite providers have agreements with the PAC 12 network either, so it’s gonna be difficult to even find the game at a sports grill and bar.
