Thats good news that we moved up. Not much trouble had we with the Panthers this weekend but South Carolina is a very different creature. I wonder when, if ever Arkansas has been #7 or higher playing #2 (USC) or higher on the road to begin a conference season. Chaliehog have an answer ? The Clash in Columbia begins at 6pm Central Friday along the Arkansas Razorback Baseball Network.

Have you seen UALR lately ? I saw the Murray State series last week. MSU beat the Trojans 22-1 in 2 games in Hogan Field (16-1 and 6-0). Now, do you really want to see that matchup with UA this year? Oh I might ad that it was 44 degrees and they didn't even open the freaking concession stand. I had people from a Kentucky town of 150 asking me with we had food and drink in Little Rock. Ridiculous ! Usually its open though. I even drove to a conveinence store to get an old lady and grandaughter hot chocolate and a bottle of water.

Van Horn is ducking UALR.

What a wuss!

[Big Papa Satan]

South Carolina is a whole different beast....even if we've been able to handle them in recent years.

Win or lose, I'm looking forward to the series.

South Carolina is too chicken to take on UALR!!!!!!

I doubt it. It's possible back in the 80s in the SWC when we were really good, maybe playing Texas or somebody to open the season on the road. It would be hard to find out though.

In the SEC? I doubt we have ever been ranked #7 going into conference play. I can't say for sure when we first broke into the top 10 in 1999, but I doubt it was this early.

[Amityvillehogger]

well deserved if you ask me

[Flatfoot]

Go Hogs!  WE LOVE DVH!

[Amityvillehogger]

yeah, he's actually earning his paycheck....and heath's...

I was thinking IF a TOP 10 clash had happened conference opening weekend it had to be late 70's early 80s vs. maybe Texas too.Trying to locate information in the media guide to see if it's happened in school history.
Oh and again I'm a fan of all state schools.RE:UALR 2. I saw the first 6 innings at Hogan Park this afternoon before work with UALR leading Eastern Illinois 2-1. EIU probably had 35 or so fans there including a young lady with a kid of maybe 19 months.UALR had at one point over 40 there before it began sleeting (lasted an inning).Nice park and the fans that show up are loyal. Only one problem again, CONCESSION STAND CLOSED AGAIN !!! This time its like 38-40 degrees with an average wind of probably 24 mph +.You have young kids,injured adults and elderly out there some that have driven hundreds of miles to support their team and spend money in town and they can't even get coffee or hot chocolate much less a hot dog.Embarrassing as hell ! So again I am drawing maps on pieces of paper from my car for our visiting fans so that they can actualy find hot food and drinks in the largest town in the state.

So when are we going to give him a raise, since he is actually winning and deserves a raise?

Great times for the baseball team. I want to be the first to say however, that if we win 1 of 3 in Columbia we did ok. If we win two of three,we rocked. And if we win 3 of 3 we should crap ourselves and get drunk. I would not be surprised to see us win this series, but I would not be surprised if we lost 2-3 three. These guys are good and we will have to be at our best to win at all. Doesn't mean a whole lot if we don't win the series. Means a heck of a lot if we do. Good times indeed.WPS

Why do they have to win all three to get drunk.

Good point. Carry on.

[maniax22bolts20]

We need 2 out of 3 to set the course for the confrence season.A Top 10 team does that. Once you get down in this league its very difficult to play your way out of a deep hole.

The Hog Nation hasn't been this fired up this early into baseball season since........I honestly don't know if it's ever been like this.  Thank You Coach Van Horn.

[pioneerhog]

Thank You Coach Van Horn.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

[junkyardhog]

I would very much like to see a hogs baseball game. I never have simply because I think baseball is too slow now. I think there should be a shot clock on the pitchers mound, like in basketball.

I have signed my little boy up for T-ball. He just turned 4. Everyday when I get in from work he wants to go outside and play "baseball". EVERY DAY!!! Maybe he would like a hogs baseball game!?

The pace of baseball is one of its best qualities.

I am not the world's biggest baseball fan, but the Hog games are a LOT of fun.  My nephews, now 6 and 4 absolutely love going to the games.  Yes, they can get a little squirmy, but the beauty of Baum is you can walk around with them and still see the game.

I've known people to get drunk and crap themself but never crap themself then get drunk.  I guess it's whatever works for you.

good point
