I've been considering cutting gout DirecTV for awhile. I watch more Root Sports for Astros than I do ESPN.
Over the last 3 years of A&M SEC football, I have tracked what I was doing or where I was during the games. Here are the channels which the game was broadcast on and how I watched the games.

Summary: I have only watched THREE games since 2012 in my own home AND shelling out stupid money to ESPN's crap family of networks while keeping Oprah and other tampon channels afloat.
Furthermore, a year into the SECN, I have little to no use for it. I watched a handfull of baseball games and maybe one or two basketball games on SECN. I DVR'ed some of the SECN Takeover content, but that's it.
I have no kids yet, so my attendance and game watch habits may change at some point. Data today suggests I should cut DirecTV out and sign up with Sling service if I need to keep ESPN.
