Q. Our first question is from Hill Country Razorback who asks: Did you think the Baseball Hogs had a chance of winning even a game against Texas? Was winning the series a surprise? The sweep a shock? Be Honest. A. I’m always honest. Yes, I thought Arkansas would win a game, a game where the pitching was good and where they scored a lot of runs. That’s been a pattern the past three weeks. I figured it would be game two. Yes winning he series was a surprise.

Q. Our first question is from mousetown who wants to know: What is going on with Van Horn? This is one of the most talented teams he’s had but these guys are unfocused and undisciplined. He needs to kick some butt instead of being so calm. A. That’s not his style these days but that doesn’t make you wrong. A lot of fans want to see him unload on his players after the inconsistent hitting, bad starting pitching and untimely errors they suffered against Florida. Here’s the crazy part.

Q. Our first question is from Razoralex88 who asks: Can you tell that I’ve officially hit the panic button for Razorback baseball? Losing two of three to those A&M bozos is NOT acceptable. My confidence in them reaching Omaha went from near 100% to 50%. A. You’re right. losing a series at home to the Aggies is awful. But I still think some team is going to burst their bubble. They caught several breaks in the two games they won at Baum-Walker.

Q. Our first question is from WVHogFan who asks: Why are there so many hit batsmen in college baseball? One came back to haunt us yesterday. A. Okay, you’re referring to Arkansas reliever Aiden Jimenez who was one out away from giving Arkansas a 6-5 win over Georgia and the series. He was facing Ryland Zaborowski in the bottom of the 11th who was 0-4 on the day with three K’s.

Our first question is from who else? Mousetown who is feeling grumpy over the lack of news about the makeup of Arkansas basketball team for next season. Q: He says: I’m starting to think that all of you media experts are just making stuff up about what Cal is or is not up to these days. Admit it. You two don’t know jack about the situation. You’re in the dark like the rest of us. A. That for certain describes me. I’m not a recruiting or portal guru. That’s why we have Kevin McPherson.

Don't tell BBN fans about this. They won't like it. Or maybe they'll just trash Iverson.
Darius Acuff jr and his H.O.F mentor, Allen Iverson. AI doesn’t just mentor anyone, he sees something very special in Darius, so do we! WPS https://t.co/JLOejkCSx2
You're never sure if current Razorbacks get the whole Texas thing when they haven't played them. Looks like DVH got through to them. Nothing like breaking out of a funk at the expense of Tex-a$$.
This isn't about jealousy. It's about a very fundamental concept. Most fans reject the idea of buying championships. That's why the NCAA had rules against payments in recruiting. It's why the NFL has a draft and salary caps. Thankfully uncontrolled NIL is going away.
@MikeIrwinPTN Well being jealous isn’t going to help. Despite the $$ they are also really well coached so the investment is worth it. Arkansas can’t compete with that kind of money but we also don’t know if we are even maxing out what’s really there either
