Polyglots have a serious upper hand in today's economy.  Know a couple people in international business that are polyglots.  Get to rub shoulders with some serious VIPs, travel the entire world, and get paid large sums of money.

Not to derail this thread... but having a conversational ability in multiple languages is certainly a plus in conducting international business.  Fluency in the language of a particular region will assist in advancing in that said region.

English is the International Business Language and most International Business is conducted in this language.  I've learned this over the last 30+ years.  That said I do wish I was more lingual than I am but I can still order off the menu on 5 continents  without worrying about what I'm being served.

This said ......Good Game Hogs and Great Game Thread as always. :razorback: :razorback:

[Maddhog]

Awesome job JHicks, Arky, Raz and everyone.  Thanks!!

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

 :razorback: Go Hogs!!! :razorback:

[Razorbacks#1]

And might I add, thanks for all the Hogvillians who participated in the thread and kept it civil, but most importantly, comments directed at the game play, and not fellow posters.

Looking forward to tomorrow for a double dip in the life of a Hog fan!

[flippinhogmana]

DVH wasn't too happy about the in stadium radar gun being off 4-5 MPH.

[Tusks]

Not sure if covered but the hogs pitchers walked 0 batters today.  That is AWESOME.  New pitching coach already paying off.

State of the Hogs: Radar gun, pitching staff hot in opener
http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2017/feb/17/state-hogs-pitching-staff-throws-strikes/

Just to make sure, I jaunted to the seats directly behind home plates to check with professional scouts. They confirmed my suspicions. The scoreboard gun was "hot." Subtract 4-5 mph and you'd have it right, they said.

That was revealed quickly after the game from Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn, a little upset about the poor calibration on the stadium gun. The coaching staff has its own gun in the stands and it was producing the same read as the scouts. Subtract 4-5 mph and you'd have it about right.



Knight threw 46 of 72 pitches for strikes. Relievers Jake Reindl (30 of 44) and Cannon Chadwick (20 of 27) were around the zone, too.

Knight recorded five strikeouts, Reindl added three and Chadwick four. Really, all three were throwing multiple pitches for strikes. Knight was pleased with a new pitch added under Johnson, a cut fast ball.

Dominic Fletcher opens career in style
http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2017/feb/17/dominic-fletcher-opens-career-style/



The freshman center fielder went 2-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBI in the Razorbacks' 7-0 win over Miami (Ohio) on Friday. Fletcher also scored two runs from the five hole in Arkansas' lineup.

[SPAL]

It's our pleasure

[pigture perfect]

No finer fellers than our pbp crew on EI. Thank you so much. Great game. Love throwing shutouts.
