I have to ask, who is Joyce? I only know Tony Vitello on your coaching staff - a former Arkansas assistant who left for the UT job and is poised to overtake our coach in accolades if he keeps up the good work.
Baseball tickets are dirt cheap, usually. I take in the game however I can. I'm usually working during the games, so I find them online to listen to. And I feel like you'll like college baseball for the same reason you like other college sports. The SEC also dominates that one, so that's always fun.
It's a long off-season until football to see if Heupel is the real deal. What else do you have to do?

Ben Joyce is the first pitcher in recorded NCAA history to throw a 104 mph pitch. But it's probably best to just show you: Joyce 104mph
He has a 91 mph changeup. Joyce is one of those guys that grew a lot post-HS (like 6 or 7 inches). His pitches are ridiculous.
However, the problem UT baseball has is that a really good minor league team is in their backayard. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Smokies (they are in Kodak which is super close and they've been in different areas but all are very close) AND Knoxville and/or the greater area has hosted a minor league team since 1896.
It's hard for a college team to compete with a successful minor league team, especially when they were able to serve alcohol for so long while UT couldn't.
