How many SEC sporting events do you watch that do NOT include your team?

3 per year?
10?
50?

I probably watch (significant - more than 15 minutes) pieces of a couple dozen per year, but mostly I’m watching my team. Is that the norm around here?

Thinking about it more, I watch hundreds of such games if I count even just a few minutes of watching it. But rarely do I watch a game from soup to nuts unless it’s my team.

By SEC sporting event do you mean an SEC vs SEC matchup or just one that involves an SEC team?

If it’s the latter, at least 200

~ 45 CFB
~ 50 MBB
~ 5 WBB
~ 5 VB
~ 5 WSOC
~ 70 BASE
~ 25 SOFT

I'll watch the CBS game and maybe a couple others during the season. I try to watch all of the SEC bowl games.

A lot. Football, when not at our games. Occasional Bball and baseball.

A lot of SEC football not involving my team, some SEC basketball (probably one or two week not involving my team), SEC baseball not involving my team during the College World Series. Nothing else.

I watch a fair amount of CFB apart from just LSU games. Other sports are hit and Miss for me; of those, I’m more likely to watch another SEC baseball game I guess.

Too many to count.

I would rather watch a bad SEC matchup than a good national game. The SEC gets my full attention.

About a dozen. I've also watched a PAC event and a couple of B1G events. Think I had some of the ACC basketball tournament going on in the background, but couldn't say I really watched much except maybe the last ten minutes of the championship game.

If an SEC team is playing football, I'm watching it. I often flip between a few games involving SEC teams, actually.

I sometimes watch other SEC teams play baseball and basketball.

Unless it interferes with me watching my team:

Football
-AU/Bama
-LSU/Bama
-UT/Bama
-UF/UT
-Egg Bowl

I will also watch the occasional game that is in a different time slot from my team.

All other sports it’s just kinda random

College football - a lot
College bball - big games during regular season and March madness

You must have a lot of available time when the playoffs start.

Quite a bit, hard to put a number on it

I try to go to about three A&M games a year too while I’m local, just because football is more fun in person. I went to y’all’s upset over Alabama a few years ago and that one was wild

I watch all kinds of teams play football. USC-UCLA, Texas-OU and Mich-OSU are musts.

A lot. If I'm free, I'll have CFB on almost all day and like to catch good bowl matchups, CCGs, and playoffs.

CBB and baseball are basically only Bama until the SEC tournament and the Tourney.

In the 11 years since being brought into the conference, I have not watched one minute of any sport by any team (including my own), outside of football. I can think of countless other things to do in life besides watch baseball, basketball, or any minor sport, college or pro.

That being said, I do watch a good amount of SEC football from all teams during season. I can’t put a number to it, but every weekend during fall, there’s a tv on with SOME game playing from morning to night. I’m not staring at it the whole time. I’m not home the whole time, But if I am here, and it’s fall, There’s a game on.

I had basically the same agenda during the big 12 years as well. Always watched conference wide football. Never gave any other sport any attention.
