Do you mean a FREE internet radio broadcast? That would be a breach of contract with Westwood One, who owns the radio rights to Notre Dame games. You'll probably have to pay for it, and if you're gonna do that, you might as well just get the game on pay-per-view on TV.
Only one out I can think of: if you subscribe to Sirius satellite radio, they offer online streaming for some of their programming, and they pick up Westwood One's ND coverage. I'll be at work tonight for the 2nd half of the Stanford game, so a co-worker of mine who subscribes to Sirius is going to try to stream in the game for me in my office. Don't know if it'll work, though, because apparently they don't stream everything.

Couldn't find the link at first, but I found it now.

Costs $6.95 per month to get access. If I can't get the game on Sirius's webstream, I might just bite the bullet and subscribe. Or I might just sit out in my co-worker's truck and take a walkie-talkie with me in case my presence is needed inside.
(Man, and I'm already paying $20 just to watch the 1st half on pay-per-view at home. This game could me back!)

You're kidding me. You mean I had to run out to my car here at work and bounce in an AM-signal off the stratosphere from New York City, and all I had to do was click on a link?
Dammit.
Frankly, I'm amazed Westwood One lets them do that. Actually, they probably don't. I'd be amazed if WLS really had permission to stream the game, or else it was streamed by mistake. By contrast, stations are supposed to black out their internet streams for many live sports events, but sometimes they forget to do so.

Also, just for the record, the Sirius webstreaming option does not include sports. Good to know that for the future, since it almost kept me from hearing the end of the game.
Thank goodness for WFAN's signal bouncing down to Florida tonight.

I was happy to find WLS. I had spent most of the day trying to track down members of the local ND club to find out where the Game Watch was being held. I hadn't gotten my weekly email and the Club's website made no mention of a Stanford Game Watch. Seems most them were out of state visiting relatives (might be coincidence but they all seemed to be visiting relatives outside the UGA/GT imposed viewing zone).
An hour before game time, still with no info on the Game Watch, I drove 30 minutes to one of the two sports bars where the Game Watches are usually held. Sign on the read, "Closed for Thanksgiving Weekend, have a nice day!"
Drove 30 minutes to the other sports bar that will show an ND game. Placed was devoid of UGA/GT fans. Great. Bartender is ND fan. Great! "What channel is it on he asks?" as I note that all the TVs are tuned in to VT/UVA or some weekly nonsports show on CBS. "ABC same as UGA/GT," I noted. "Bummer we're blacked out then." I threw a fin on the bar to cover the two sips of beer I had consumed and ran to the parking lot. Driving home couldn't find
the game on car radio. Got home and tried finding the game on radio while sitting on hold for 25 minutes with cable company. Agent refused to sell me one game (that was already in the 2ndQ) unless I bought the full season. Her manager gave me the same spiel.
Plan D kicked into action turned on computer to find game tracker while checking all known ND websites for an internet broadcast. The ones I had bookmarked weren't working. Finally found one. WLS Chicago. TONY ROBERTS!
They blanked out occasionally for 30 seconds or so once or twice a quarter.
That was OK until with 1:50 left in the game, ND leading 30-24 and Stanford with the ball, 2nd and goal on ND's 4, they left the broadcast to play recorded programming. NO SCORE UPDATES!
Fortunately I was following the play by play on CBSSportsline.com which was a play or two ahead of the WLS broadcast.
I haven't had to work so hard to hear an ND game since I bribed a commo sargeant with a bottle of scotch to run a phone line to my foxhole to carry the Armed Forces Network broadcast of ND/LSU in '70. Walt Patulski and the rest of the Irish shutout the Tigers 3-0.
