Just my luck. Last year I was a senior at Duke, and they played in Evanston. Now I'm a grad student at Northwestern, and they're playing in Durham. Unfortunate timing.

I watched a game last year on ACCselect. I hooked up my laptop to my projector, and watched it on the wall. It was great until the feed got interrupted. Luckily they refunded the game to everyone. Unluckily, Duke lost.
But for what I saw it was impressive, and the cool thing was it had Bob Harris' radio cast as the commentary.

I found this quote...
"Note: LTP erroneously omitted the fact that each Northwestern football game is live on WGN.com as is the case this week. LTP regrets the omission."
from this page (Note: LTP erroneously omitted the fact that each Northwestern football game is live on WGN.com as is the case this week. LTP regrets the omission.). I'm looking on WGN's site now, and don't see anything about it. But the page of origin says wgn is streaming the radio broadcast live. Won't be as good unless you listen to Bob Harris, though.
