so you are counting on UA beating Mizz in your prediction of our 10-2 season??   

What about LB Jayden Shelton? Saw that he committed but haven't seen his name anywhere else.

Weather radar showing the storms have passed through. Maybe a little light rain left. Does look like a little back building could happen however. I believe we get a game in tonight and two tomorrow. I do think, like Birmingham, that we might get a little later start than 5 pm tonight.

It still seems weird that LSU can be #6 in the SEC softball standings, but they are ranked #7 nationally.

Here's some father quotes from the article

"We're just looking for a good fit," Haminn said. "Playing style. How (Quaintance is) used — the freedom that he has in the offense. That'll probably be the separator."

"We're looking for a situation where we can go in and start," Haminn Quaintance said.

Super talented kid - but not sure many coaches want to promise a starting position to a 16 year old.

Exactly right, a 16 year old isn't a lock to perform in his first year, especially at a position in which freshman typically struggle to begin with.

Quote from: hogsanity on Today at 01:39:39 pmI just don't get that. I have cheered for the Hogs all my life. They've had literally thousands of football players in the last 54 years. Sure I've had favorite players, but, at most, they've been here 6 of those 54 year ( 11 % of the total seasons ). The only constant is the name of the team.

Hey you do you. Enjoy! If it's all good for you--go for it! I don't get that either, and I've been rooting for the Hogs just about the same amount of time as you. It definitely "feels" like a different deal to me now. It's not nearly as much fun for me. Maybe it's because I have so many other extremely enjoyable things to do that I didn't have growing up in a farmhouse containing three families. Back then the Hogs were one of the very few things we had to enjoy.

Nah, not me. Not now. I still hope they do well, and hope you keep on keepin' on and enjoy the game like you always have. Good for you.

Loved his energy and quickness. Shot may be ugly but Ronnie Brewer's mechanics were wack and he did fine. Wish Layden the best.

Quote from: RWQ on Today at 03:00:26 pmI'm not trying to dampen anyone's enthusiasm. I'm excited about how our recruiting is going thus far.  I just know that my experience as a Razorback fan tells me that when we decide to spend too much time picking at another program, it usually ends up biting us in the rear.

Cal coming to ARK assures the rivalry with KY is amped up at least X 100.  If our fans want to have some fun and trash talk a little, big deal.  Let's enjoy our good fortune and then see how things play out on the court.

Quote from: hogwood on Yesterday at 07:27:57 pmSo I grew up in Fayetteville but went to high school in Ohio outside of the town where Eric and his father were born. His dad's first coaching job was at Ashland University, about 15 minutes from me. I went to high school with a few Musselmans, and for a short time dated a girl whose mom is a Musselman and is Eric's first cousin. Her mom looks basically like the female version of Muss - so much so that they could be siblings. Many of the Musselmans I know have the quintessential Muss look - small with angular facial features, etc. I'm still in touch with a few of them. I could ask if they know anything about their lineage.

FWIW Darke County is on the entire other side of the state, north of Dayton and on the border of Indiana, but maybe they moved back east at some point.

Wow, look at this. I had no idea that Ohio was in their past. I looked up Darke County (what a great name for a creepy FX TV series), guess that made a good stopping off point before moving to Indiana. Die Vater Kimmerling ended up 67 miles straight west of Darke County. Must've been on a wagon train route or something.

Yeah, ask them if they remember ol' Uncle Hiram (wait, wasn't that a soda in the 40s and 50s?).

Quote from: StanHog on Today at 07:11:14 amOne clue could be if you're 4'8" tall!

Not far off. But the biggest disconnect for me is Muss's 0% body fat. Mrs. Muss, Elizabeth, and my great grandmother were sisters, so I don't share any DNA with the Musselman side. They reside as distant in-laws.

Quote from: #1 STUNNA on Today at 02:42:32 pmThis group is awesome.. but rating wise had nothing on the 22 kids

Understand... but just the shear number of top recruits that are coming in with the expectation of more to come.  I know the main contributor to how quickly they are coming is because Cal already recruited them to UK, and they are simply switching to us, so I know it won't happen so quickly in future years.

I'm also projecting to the next few years where I figure we will pick up several 5-stars each year (or super-high 4-stars) as opposed to the one special year led by Nick Smith, Jr., Black, and Walsh.
