So, funny pre-game story: I don't pay for a television package, just U-verse internet. Largely because I hate commercials / timed programming / DVR fees, etc., but also because I can torrent almost anything and MOST IMPORTANTLY I can watch Notre Dame games streamed in HD from NBC, CBS or ESPN3.
The ONLY network that does not offer a free HD stream is ABC (ABC sports doesn't really excist anymore since it's basically ESPN now, but games AIRED on ABC, no streaming).
I can find ABC streams online, but most are pretty poor quality. Just for occasions like this, I have a digital-analog TV converter box, amplified antenna and 30 feet of coax. My brother and I call it the E.I.F.A. (Emergency Irish Football Antenna) and when ever I need to use it (like right now) we yell, "FLOAT THE BUOY!"
GO IRISH!!!
