When I was a kid, my team(s, as I liked Georgia Tech then too) were almost never on TV. If the Dawgs won, we'd watch a boring Dooley 30 minute interview of the game with film. The newspaper was a real thing, the local paper would have two sports sections, one for CFB alone. It would have B&W photos of big plays, two full pages for UGA and Tech, a page for other major SEC teams, and then a page of "other scores" by irrelevant teams "up north" with a simple paragraph and box score.
The Sunday paper was a hefty thing back then. Comics, ads galore, Ask Ann, some "news", ... I got a subscription when we moved back and cancelled it after a week or so. There was nothing in it of interest to me, at all. The local paper recently moved to a building near us, I'm not sure they have longer term viability, they do push their web site which is ... unimpressive.
I think we got a color TV around 1969, it had a problem with greens. I'd adjust the color bars and contrast and rabbit ears to little avail. The fields would look blue. We got three channels and then a fourth UHF channels started up which was staticky, that is the one Jane Fonda's husband bought later and now is WTBS. I recall Channel 8 showed up as PBS at some point, it wasn't interesting to me, back then.
My Dad liked to watch Lawrence Welk, I didn't. He liked to say they didn't have TV when he was a kid, go find something to do on your own.
