Ole Miss baseball is tough to watch. Very “look at us because we don’t get enough attention” approach. Similar to softball.
The excessive homerun cellys, the yelling and screaming after hitting a measly single, the dugout dancing...
This is the time of year that reminds me of how thankful I am that my parents encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, leave CA, and become a Razorback. Grateful to call this place home.
I love Arkansas.
HUGE tip of the cap to DVH & the boys for the absolute masterclass on maximizing the production of a roster riddled w/ injuries to key guys from Day 1 👏🏽
Badass group of ballplayers, man. Chins up. Tons to be proud of and build on. Already excited for 2024.
Onward. 🐗⚾️🙌🏽
#WPS
Anyone leaving the game already shouldn’t even bother coming back for another game..
You either stick it out when the boys need you most, or we don’t need you here 👋🏽✌🏽
Relaxxxx everyone.. that’s postseason baseball. Negativity ain’t the solution right now.
Nothing is over. Regroup, gather yourself, and stay behind the boys.
Not to mention, pitchers handing the ball off to the next guy outta the pen after getting yanked.... CRINGE-INDUCING!!! Professionalism is a dying art in college sports. Thank God for Dave Van Horn!
What’s worse?
- The NCAA’s (BRUTAL) decision to boot NCST…
- Or all the idiots blaming it on the players for not getting vaccinated and not wearing a stupid piece of worthless cloth over their mouth?
Get real.
#LetThemPlay
Just saying, most important time of the year……and you quit on the boys? Lol
They don’t need you behind them when they’re winning, they need you when they’re struggling.
…and prove that you can stay behind the boys for 54 straight outs tmrw, not just when things are going our way 👍🏽
That negativity 💩 ain’t the solution
A win tomorrow = a brand new 1-game season

What I just saw was the most dominant outing I have ever seen. Here's all 17 K's.
Hagen Smith touched 99 early, sat 95-97 a lot, plus his mid-80s SL racked up 15 K's alone. Flashed an upper-80s CH. 8 FB whiffs, 17 SL whiffs.
Pure domination.

I said it a week ago.. Leaving hostile territory with even one win against the best team in the country (by far) is a job well done!
Ask any former player. Taking a series in Baton Rouge is a seriously tall task, just as it is for teams visiting Baum.

If
@ArkRazorbacks
had a synchronized underwater basket-weaving team competing in the postseason, we’d still average 3,000+ in attendance…
What. A. Fanbase.
#HogsBy90
Gaeckle is unlike any other freshman pitcher in the country.
Maturity off the charts, stuff off the charts, confidence off the charts, & no ridiculously excessive emotional outbursts.
All business. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Get Pinion in the weight room, jump roping, doing ladder drills etc.. get his size/quickness up..
We need him on the court next season. Guy is too talented of a shooter to be watching every game from the sideline.
…Especially on a team so atrocious from behind the arc.
KB!!! 💪🏽
Bogle is ELECTRIC!!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
@RazorbackSB
Hog fans once again proving that Fayetteville is unquestionably the best place to play collegiate sports in the country.
That is a DAMN GOOD road series W for my boys!
@RazorbackBSB
Down but never out! DVH is a master of keeping the squad on track, even after a minor skid. Stay dialed in and keep it going!

Tie game & need 3 quick Ks?
Call the Kopps. 🚨🚓
97Ks in 60.1 Innings.
So good, you need to try to get on base any way you can (including sticking your elbow out/ruled a K).
The good news?
Imagine coming out victorious in a CRAZY win-or-go-home ballgame, but essentially gaining no momentum whatsoever going into the rubber match… 😏
I got

Everyone positive and happy again! 🙌🏽
Now, SOME of you need to go throw your ‘panic buttons’ into the nearest river (best way to avoid temptation is to eliminate it)…
Who wouldn’t want to coach a team for a fanbase that was loud enough to make opposing players shamelessly plug their ears with their fingers for the entire world to see? 🤷🏻♂️🙌🏼🐗
(For the record, I probably would’ve reacted identically 💯 loudest I’ve EVER heard an arena)
"[Coach Van Horn] changed my life and my career."
SEMO Head Coach Andy Sawyers played under Dave Van Horn at Nebraska.
Sawyers shared an awesome story about his relationship with DVH prior to coaching against his former head coach tomorrow.
#WPS
Remember when we had an electric offense that still put the QB under center, and turned potentially questionable play calls into TDs by simply executing their assignments…
A team that was feared bcuz opponents knew they’d need at least 6 TDs to win.
What a time it was.
Arkansas is 18-4 against teams in the Top 25.
All but three of those games were at road or neutral sites.

I noticed these immediately as they happened. My favorite part of the game…
Skip ain’t a fan of crazy HR cellies outside the dugout.
Pic 1: Annoyed but maintaining composure lol
Pic 2: Keeping the boys at the steps 👏🏽
Gettin some skin from the General for a job well-done is scientifically proven to exponentially improve your quality of sleep 💯
Some consider it to be therapeutic, even.
I myself, would claim it to be borderline medicinal👊🏽
Regardless of the outcome, pitchers wearing armbands on the mound in a game (while the position players aren’t even wearing them) is HONESTLY the softest, most elementary, weak sh** I’ve ever seen in college baseball 😂 thoughts

@RazorbackBSB
has started 14-7 or better in SEC play for four straight seasons. It's the best stretch of starting 14-7 or better in SEC play since LSU did it from 1989-92.
I will sleep incredibly well tonight (regardless of this outcome) knowing that all of OSU nation will be puckered up all night over the fact that no lead is comfortable against the Hogs 😅
We may be playing like 💩, but Petrino is a genius. Guy is ballsy, Hall of Fame worthy play-caller and play-designer. Wear your neck braces and make fun of the guy all you want, but he’s a step ahead of us every snap 🤷🏻♂️
“What a battle. I want to congratulate Arkansas… They’re a heck of a team and play the right way. They don’t showboat and keep their mouth shut.”
- NC coach Scott Forbes
We asked 90 Division I head coaches who has the best player development facilities in the country.
The consensus?
1. Arkansas
2. Vanderbilt
3. Mississippi State
4. Wake Forest
5. LSU

Baseball will humble you the second you take it for granted! Great teams compete with the same intensity against the best, average and worst teams.
Damn good comeback W
@RazorbackBSB
!!! But let’s not put ourselves in that situation again 😵
Please stick with the plan & don’t get sloppy 🙏🏽
Stay composed. Take good shots. No turnovers or stupid fouls. EXTRA FOCUS at the charity stripe.
Unselfish, fundamental basketball the rest of the way fellas..
And, to those criticizing OUR troops for loving OUR president and having him sign hats for them... feel free to hop out of your nice jacuzzi tub (or your parents’ basement), strap on some boots and go mine-sweeping in their place 😉👍🏽
#DoUsTheFavor
You’re damn right he is! This should’ve been just as easy to decide as voting Mariano Rivera into the HOF!
A season we’ll never forget! Way to bring it home my guy!
@KevinKopps
Add a MLB-leading 40+ homers to his offensive statistics.. despite team record, we are witnessing, without question, the greatest individual season in the history of the game of baseball.
And it’s not even close. Thoughts
