I noticed the game is going to be playing on ESPN 3 tomorrow evening. Is there anyway to watch the game on my TV wired from my computer? If so, I could really use the help. Thanks guys! Go Vols!

Yes. Get an HDMI cord that is compatible with your computer. I have a Mac and use a mini-display to HDMI cord. Go to Best Buy or Radio Shack and they'll get you what you need

or... assuming your TV has the connection... just use a vga cable from the laptop to the TV. you can use a 3.5mm jack if you want to add the audio, but many prefer to listen to others call the game vs the announcers on ESPN3 who can't even get the names right.

I have a Mac as well. I am not well versed when it comes to electronics I'll be honest. Can you please simply what it is that I need to get? I will make a trip to Best Buy first thing in the morning. Thanks for the help bro!

Go to Apple store or Best Buy. Buy a (Mini Display Port to HDMI cord). It will play video and audio in HD. Will run you about 30 bucks

If you have an older Mac, you won't have a Mini Display Port, but a Mini-DVI instead. In this case, a Mini-DVI to HDMI cable is best, but a lot of stores do not stock these. You might have to use a Mini-DVI to VGA/ DVI to HDMI, but a sales associate should be able to help.

Your best bet is to hope that your computer has either VGA (the port an old monitor hooks up with, a newer one uses DVI, but there are DVI to VGA converters) or S-Video out. If so, you can hook that up to your TV.
If your computer only has one port, you can unhook your monitor for the game, using your TV as your monitor. You will need a 3.5mm to RCA for your audio with either S-video or VGA.
I am not familiar with HDMI on this matter. I only have a GForce 8800GT card that I bought about two years ago, it does not have HDMI. I know that audio can run with HDMI, but I do not know if cards with HDMI support audio or you if it is separate from the sound card. I guess it would depend on your setup.
But I'm a Windows guy, hate the Mac. But since Macs are much more unified than PC's, especially home-built ones like mine, let the guy at Best Buy or wherever you go know what kind of computer and TV that you have (model numbers). They should be able to help you out as long as you know what kind of inputs/outputs you have.
But like others said, if you have a video game console capable of ESPN3 streaming, that would definitely be the easiest solution for you.

I live in Tennessee... Earlier in the season I am thinking that ESPN 3 games were blacked out for Tennessee residents?? Does anyone know if we will be able to watch it on ESPN 3 in Tennessee today?

No CSS HD in Chattanooga EPB. Does anyone know, if I stream the game via my Macbook, HDMI, will it be in HD, or will it be the same as plain digital CSS?

go get a 250 gb xbox 360...if you are not playing video games you are not living and the netflix and espn are in HD. Get a signal boosted HD bunny ear thingy. Then cancel cable.
