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.

I usually watch the CBS football game. Obviously in 2024, I’ll be watching a lot more and looking to get the SEC Network.

My TV pretty much stays on SEC Network, so any game that's not just streaming on ESPN+. Since football is mostly only Saturdays, that's usually quite a few basketball and baseball games in the spring. I try to avoid softball or women's soccer, but I'll turn on some gymnastics. On football Saturdays, unless there's just a really good matchup in other conferences such as Ohio St vs Penn State or the Red River Rivalry etc., I'd pretty much watch the SEC game instead of watching a pillow fight in another conference.

I'm usually watching three SEC football games every gameday. Maybe not catching every minute, but enough to say I "watched" them.

If there's an SEC football game on, I'm watching. Unless it's Mizzou - Vandy.

I watch the home team's games. I'll then watch the supposed "important" game(s). If said important game isn't competitive or there isn't one, I just channel surf for the games that are competitive and flip between them. Doesn't matter the conference. There are some great finishes in games that I stumble across using this technique.
Strangely, my favorite Saturdays are ones that OU doesn't play. No stress and get to watch games that I otherwise would miss if they were playing.

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 always have a reason to root for or against teams in SEC vs SEC games. I'd say I probably watch parts of 40 games a year. I'll watch maybe 12 complete SEC games a year that aren't involving Florida.
Games I will watch every year:
Iron Bowl
Egg Bowl
Georgia - Tennessee
Ole Miss - Alabama
LSU - Alabama
LSU - Auburn
Texas AM - Auburn/Alabama/LSU
I try not to watch any Mississippi State home game because frick those cowbells.
I'll watch games from around the country that are interesting or if there is absolutely else nothing on.

Well I use the FubuTV app on AppleTv. It allows you to go 4 screens with quick switch . So I watch college football all day from 12pm to PAC 12 after dark. Or at least it stays on. So ther is generally at least 1 if not more SEC games in the tv every Saturday till around 11.

I watch sports every day of the year. Hundreds of SEC and non SEC events across all the sports. Soccer and volleyball back this week 
football is so damn close.

My sports-bar specific alcoholism dictates that I casually watch several in every men's sport that are televised.

At least 1-2 football games per week in football season plus all the postseason games.
At least 1-3 basketball game per week in basketball season plus all the postseason games
Maybe 4-5 baseball and 4-5 football per season.
Probably adds up to around 50 total.

Not much, maybe 10 football. Basketball with march madness maybe 30.

You made me look up if Bob Horner actually died. Loved the early 80s Braves, I watched them every day on TBS when I was a kid. Bob Horner was a helluva player in those days.
