Is there any way to downgrade to Safari 2 using Leopard? I am going to be out of the country next weekend for the OSU Michigan game and I am trying to watch it on CSTV, however, they require Safari 2 and don't support Safari beta (even though 3 is no longer beta).

Any thoughts?

Could you use a different browser such as Firefox?
 
I tried that and it still stated I needed Safari. When I checked the system requirements this is what it said:
• Macintosh:
• Operating System: MAC OS X 10.4.2 or higher
• Browser: Safari 2.0 or higher (Safari 3.x Beta is NOT supported) (JavaScript must be enabled)
• 512 MB RAM
• 16-bit sound card and speakers
• 65,000-color video display card
• Internet connection: High Speed Broadband Connection at least 500kbps
• Web browser (see above); cookies enabled
• Minimum Screen Resolution 1024 x 768
• Flip4Mac plug-in (by Telestream - free download): With Flip4Mac, you can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using a web browser
• Flip4Mac System Requirements:
• QuickTime 6.5 or higher
• The Flip4Mac plug-in may be downloaded at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
• Click on "Free Download" button and then click on the "Download" button.
• We recommend that you review the Flip4Mac download and installation
instructions on the same page as the Download button before downloading.

Enable the Debug menu and switch the User Agent to Safari 2.0.4.

Not sure what you mean. User Agent will make it look like 2.0.4 to the site. It's a possible workaround until they "support" v3.
edit: misread your post - But, anyway, it's simple to try. I've seen the problem before when a specific version is parsed. eBay had a warning when using v3 beta, which could be bypassed by changing the UA.

My Debug menu is still enabled in Leopard. I haven't needed to enable it (it was done a long time ago in v2.
