No ballgame, or any other sport is worth supporting cable and ESPN.
Haha...you don’t live in Alabama...
And Comcast, don’t break the cable on an SEC weekend in the South. Funny story, a few years ago, I “volunteered” to cook for my daughter and some friends at a rental cabin in Knoxville for the weekend of the Auburn game. The kids all went to the game while I stayed back at the cabin and cooked. I had planned to watch the game but could not get it on the TV. So I called the cabin owner, a nice gentlemen farmer. He was not into football and very unaware of the hysteria surrounding SEC football. He came to the cabin and tried to figure the TV, with little success. So he left to call Comcast. Well the game suddenly came on in the 4th quarter and the owner returned shortly after. He told me that Comcast told him that the cable had been out in the entire area. And he said, “People are sure enough hot over it.” Evidently the phone lines to Comcast were burned up. He legitimately seemed perplexed over it.
So while I could have done without watching it, and can sympathize with you, many here in the South cannot. It is an obsession.
