I watch every football, basketball and baseball game I can except for a few mid-week baseball games vs shitty opponents. Even those I watch parts of if I’m bored.

Let's hope so. Just watching football is the least respectable kind of sports fan.

I also watch Saints and Louisiana Tech (undergrad). Otherwise, I’ll watch some Thursday or Monday night football because it’s on and bad football is ALWAYS better than no football. I’ll also watch other sec games and other college football in general because it’s much more fun than the nfl.

But you’re right. This is a football first forum. But if the Tigers are in the college World Series, gymnastics championships, or final four or something, I unequivocally hope they win. And if the girlfriend or grandpa has it on when I walk in I won’t change the channel or anything. Hell, I’ll even care.

Football- Watch LSU and the major college matchups or future LSU opponents

Watch the saints and then games with my fantasy players

Baseball- I try to catch every LSU baseball game, I will typically miss a midweek game or 2. I watch post season MLB if I have time. I make time for the World Series.

Basketball- I watch every LSU basketball game. I watch the NBA finals.

Football- watch 100% of LSU games. Not very much I would miss a game for. Watch pretty much all the Saints games. I'll watch whatever games are good on Saturday when LSU isn't playing, and NFL all day Sunday.

Baseball- watch probably 95% of LSU baseball games. I try to plan around them, but there are so many that sometimes I have to give in a little. Watch the Astros every chance I get, which isn't often. Won't miss the MLB playoffs. I'll also watch college baseball any chance I get.

Basketball- watch LSU every chance I get. I won't schedule life around basketball, because they have sucked so much recently. Expecting that to change though.

I won’t miss a football game. I watch every baseball and basketball game I can, and try to plan my days around the games if at all possible. It’s easier to miss a basketball game for me, I get invested in baseball. As a result I tend to miss very few weekend games. I’ll watch midweek if I’m available but that usually ends up being a more check in on the game sort of thing.

I will also watch softball, but that’s more of a unplanned thing. If I’m just relaxing around the house and see a softball game is on, I’ll turn it on unless I’m already doing/watching something with my wife and daughter.

With such expanded TV coverage, I watch nearly 100% of the big 3 LSU sports teams. I watch a lot of other SEC football too (fantasy related).

Getting less and less interested in college football outside of LSU. When certain teams can buy their way into dominance what’s the point. At least in the NFL ever team has a somewhat equal chance of being good.

I watch hoops all the time and LSU baseball when it's on t.v. and get into it for post-season.

I think most fans watch more than just football with interest but football is definitely No. 1.

I do think there are LSU baseball fans that are fans of baseball only and have no interest in other LSU sports. I find that more prevalent. I have my theories on why based on comments from some of those in that category.

I watch LSU football plus any team that I think LSU may play in a bowl game. I'm going to watch baseball and basketball this year. I like softball too.

Nope. Football is my #3 behind baseball #1 and men's hoops #2. Gymnastics is an easy #4.

Basketball and baseball perform at high level. Very good and much less expensive than football

Watch or attend every Football, Mens Basketball, and Baseball game. Rarely miss one. Don't watch the rest.

I watch every foosball and baseball game. If softball or gymnastics is on Im certainly watching but I dont go out of my way to make sure I catch it.

I havent been interested in LSU basketball since the Shaq days and I can count on one hand how many games Ive seen since he has left BUT I saw every single Will Wade basketball game last year. Didnt miss a single minute all year. And he hasnt even really done anything yet. Its amazing what an exciting coaching hire can do for a program.

Yeah, I dont know about that.

I would say basketball is the least stressful of the big 3. Scoring happens quicker and more often so a big play, expiring clock or single score/goal never really takes your team out of the game like it can in football or in baseball where runs are hard to come by. This lowers the anticipatory stress level as your not constantly fearing your team making a mistake that will take themselves out of the game.
