Prime example of why teams should always open with a top pitcher.

[rzrbkman]

While the offense was struggling the Hogs ace kept ORU at bay.

Or miss st throwing saving their best pitcher for the 4 seed

[Dr. Starcs]

Was pretty clear to me oru was no 4 seed and dvh knew it.

[mhsbc59]

Yeah it clear to me the selection committee said dang Arkansas has to host this year let's give them the tuffest regional we can

[southarkhog06]

TCU may argue with that.

We have arguably one of the tougher 4 seeds but the regional as a whole isn't really that difficult

[hogman64]

guarantee you DVH never considered for a second pitching anyone but Stephan or Knight

Long Beach state I see the regional of death. Tcu and Arkansas were dealt tough regions also. Houston's regional isn't bad either.

[tennesseehogwild]

TCU may argue with that.

Houston regional is tough also. Any one of the 4 could win it. Same could be said for ours also.

[JHicks3636]

Just ask Mississippi State about saving your ace.

They did not throw Covington ?

[JHicks3636]

They did not throw Covington ?

No, they pitched Gordon. D-1 had a story about this screwup.

[SPAL]

Why do you think our regional is one if the toughest? I just don't see it.

[ricepig]

Because the Hogs are in it!

[SPAL]

Oh. Lil ole arky syndrome. Got ya. Makes sense.

And once we make it out of it, we'll be invincible!!

You've got a finger on the pulse of this fanbase...lol

Florida State Regional has 3 top 25 teams in it.  By ranking, I would guess it would be considered the toughest regional.

TCU has to face Vir. and unless their coach retired, Vir has the best coach in our grouping.  I could see Vir winning that regional.  I believe they are ranked below us so if Vir did win in Ft Worth, would we host the Super Regional if we win our Regional.

[12247]

Think about this.  They could have sent Vir to Arkansas as the #2 and placed Mo St. against TCU.  TCU has a complaint but we don't.

[fullfan]

Can Stephan come back and pitch on Monday if needed?

[ucahogfan]

Can Stephan come back and pitch on Monday if needed?

No.  Maybe one or two hitters, but don't want to overuse him. I know winning is important, you don't want to get a rep for ruining pitchers by doing stuff like that and having elite recruits look elsewhere.

[HoopS]

Can you see it now?

Missouri St. being in it automatically made this tough. Surprised people don't know that already.
