I may be Alabama-mad, but I'm not crazy. I try to fit the games into a realistic budget.
- A half or more of the bigger games end up on CBS. We get very good reception with a $20 outdoor antenna (we are 15 miles due west of Monte Sano).
- The remaining bigger games, I slide across town and watch with a buddy.
- The small games, and indeed all games, end up on youtube the next day, and I watch them then. Knowing that you beat Mercer by 56-3 the previous day does not change my enjoyment level. And having a fall weekend "off" occasionally keeps the wife happy.
Unfortunately you cant buy games a game at a time. The games are a hook for a more expensive offering, and I really hate being manipulated into something long term that I dont want. Having a friend 2 miles away who is crazy allows me to go cheap. Anyway watching the games with a friend really is an upgrade.
(BTW we have WOW, $60/mo, and a T-Mobile phone $30/mo, a T-Mobile phone pay-as-you-go (about $100/yr). Also, Prime ($10/mo and Netflix ($10/mo). I dont think this would satisfy most millennials, who want their $100/mo cellphone contract.)
