It seems now that just about every game involving an SEC team is on TV I get to watch fewer games than before. It used to be you had the early JP game, the CBS game and 1 or 2 ESPN night games. Since not much else was o TV you got to see most teams play games not just highlights. Now you have most teams playing at night right about or at the very same time. You end up watching your team and that’s it.

Is it just me?

You just described going from being able to watch only watch 4 games in a day to potentially 7-14 depending on who everyone is playing. I fail to see the problem here?

Got daymn. If you've got the SEC Network and want to watch every game, you will via replays.

I'm enjoying it myself.

You are right. Maybe more channel skipping is the problema then. :)

I understand him to an extent. That 11 am JP game was great. I feel like I have all the games but I also don't flip much from game to game. Maybe at the beginning of that time slot but by the 2nd quarter I stick with one unless it get to be a blowout.

Since AU is off this weekend, I am looking forward to watching the Gata vs Gumps game and the Corndog/Grinder games. Might flip around to watch Mizzou and Indiana for awhile because Indiana can score some points.

I hated it.

1. Too damn early if you are driving to the game to tailgate much. Certainly not enough.

2. If watching on TV you had to put up with their shitty announcers and usually 2-3 camera angles.

Nothing is more dangerous for a defensive back than being "out on an oasis".

I watch my team and depending on who we are playing, I even flip some at least during commercials. The rest of the time I can flip. I watched football for 12 hours Saturday. I was ready to go to bed and still checked the stats on some other games on CBS.sports...it doesn't take long. Replays are everywhere anyway whether I use my DVR or not. I don't see a problem.

Just you. Add to that, if my team is not playing, I could really care less about seeing each and every play. Considering that in a given football game there is anywhere from 6-7 hours of commercials, I gladly will flip between 4 different games.
