If I ditch my cable TV but keep internet, is there a way I can still watch all the games with my computer?
To many of you this is probably a dumb question, and for that I am sorry to offend you with my ignorance. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Not that I know of.
Satellite an option? If so, let me refer you, so I can get some cut off my bill.

ESPN App
I think you sign in through your cable/satellite company to get access through ESPN

Sling TV($25) plus a cable antenna should get you all the games.

you talking about hd antenna? Cuz I'm too far and can't use that.
Sling TV I can get and watch SEC NEtwork, without having a cable/satellite subscription?

I haven't used it personally but I think so. Looks like espn, tnt, amc and a few other for 20. The sports package that adds the sec network is an extra 5.
Or you could just borrow a friends espn login. Cbs streams are free online.
There's illegal streams for everything but they are slightly harder to find

Went through this the same time last year. Ended up getting a great deal through charter- high speed internet and cable w HBO for $70/mo (everything included) for the year. Watched the Clemson game on Firstrowsports - works, just lags sometimes. Called charter the next day.
Also check out sling TV- ESPN family is included in their basic package, I believe. It's just streaming and casting to your TV or investing in a smart TV. Think I'm gonna switch to AT&T and get a comparable deal this year since the charter thing is going to expire.

I switched from charter to U verse a few years ago. First yr was great but now my bill is thru the frickin roof. I love u verse just don't like paying $170 per month for tv and internet and another $150 for my cell phone. Just one frickin line.
I'm gonna try'n get on my father in laws business account and let him pay my phone bill. Gonna ask for it for Christmas. He'll forgot about it in a month and I'll be in till he croaks.

This keeps coming up on various message boards via google search on this topic.
What's the story on that site?

You could get Charter or U-verse for less money than Internet and sling TV w more options. Glad I could help you.

He lives 12 hrs away. So I'm willing to take that gamble.

Does your Internet Service Provider have an agreement with ESPN to include Watch ESPN with their service? How fast is your connection?
If your ISP does not include Watch ESPN or the SEC Network and you have a fast connection you can search for illegal streams. The person or web site providing the streams is breaking the law. I don't know whether viewers are also lawbreakers.
I know that many TV cord cutters install Kodi (formerly XBMC) along with add-ons that fetch both legal and illegal television streams.
I am fortunate that my ISP, Mediacom, has an agreement with ESPN to provide ESPN3, Watch ESPN and the SEC Network. I will never drop cable as long as CableCard reception is supported. My networked HD Homerun Prime triple tuner unit along with Windows Media Center provides three 1080i channels of DVR functionality so I never miss any good NCAA games. Illegal streams are hit or miss and the quality is probably not good.
