So my amazing wife planned a surprise trip for me and my 3 boys to go see a UT baseball game (St Bonaventure) and the basketball game against South Carolina. Sure, her motivation might have been to get some peace and quiet in the house, and I think she might be selling drugs on the side to pay for this. Nevertheless, I was ecstatic to receive this surprise last night! It will be my first baseball game in over 20 years!

So, as an out of towner who’s been to campus once in the last 10 years, what do I need to make sure I don’t miss from the baseball side of things? Free ideas appreciated!

ESPN is stupid for letting MLB go, what are they going show in Summer more WNBA.😳😳😳😳. CBS, NBC, Amazon, Netflix and YouTube T.V. is already slobbering over getting a contract with MLB after this fallout with ESPN...

MLB is not very smart either.
They have possibly more young, exciting superstars in the league since maybe the early 80s but are doing a piss poor job of marketing them!
You have guys who are a part of a dying breed, like Kershaw and Verlander, coming to the end of their careers and MLB doesn’t know how to market them and make the end of 2 Hall of Fame careers relevant.
The NFL and NBA do a fantastic job of getting their stars out there for the kids to see, MLB...not so much.

After the baseball game, take your boys to the back parking lot, near the frat houses, and they can get autographs galore!
I’m excited for you bud and I hope/know that you and your boys will have a blast!!
Well, this might be a bad suggestion if your boys are grown...🤷‍♂️

All 3 are teenagers and I don't think above getting autographs. Thanks for the tip!
