Watching the Game
Slingbox: The Slingbox is a device that connects to your TV and then allows whatever is available on your TV to be "slung" to either a PC or certain mobile devices. You can download the Slingbox software on your PC for free, for your mobile device (Windows Mobile devices, Treos and Symbian powered Smartphones). If you have a friend who has a Slingbox they can allow you to view games on your PC or Mobile phone if they are watching at home

Does anyone know of a good tool for getting scores and stats via the iPhone? Because the iPhone and iPod Touch feature full Safari browsers you can view traditional sports websites (even Fansofthebig11.com!) but a widget or other score tool would be cool. I've seen some for covering pro sports but not college football
