  • Look at all these little bitches in this thread not only calling this game over but also the season. If you don't have the stomach for the ride maybe you should take some time during this rain delay a

Arkansas seems pretty dang salty. 

Arkansas, Florida, OSU, and UNC are a class ahead of us.

Hamilton botched DP is what fucked this entire game up. 

Yes, you don't make a play and the baseball gods will punish you...as one of our coaches always said.

Mckenzie sucks

He's been a major post-season contributor.

Alrighty then... just don’t lose anymore.

Kinda.  We're just not as good as most of the teams here.  It's not rocket science.

Gus called it this past week.  We are boys playing against men...we are not there yet.  Lucky to be here.  Good experience. Relax and enjoy.

Todd should play more.

I assume he's still gimpy.  He and McCann came in to get to play in the CWS.  I think it's a tacit acknowledgement that neither is getting in in a win or die situation.

Looks like we drew Sandusky in the first game.

So, fire David Pierce thread or nah?

Everything after winning the conference was/is just gravy.  We overachieved this year with what we had on our roster.

Nah.  I think even the grumpiest acknowledges that he did EXTREMELY well with a suboptimal roster this year.

I don't see anyone taking over and going to the CWS, second year.

We'll see if this is 2000 or not.

 

Sending Arky and Florida home would be awesome.

Well that was fun for 5 innings. I was going to watch the Tech game, but I’ve already been at the ballpark for 9 hours

 

Yeah, I won't be able to stay up for the final few innings of the Tech/ Florida game, but I can start if off anyway...

We already know how it ends:  gators get walk off in bot of 9th.....around 12:30 am.

Pierce doesn't trust his pen (rightfully so). 

I think Pierce knows he has 4 or 5 quality arms right now that can beat these type teams. The problem is 3 of those arms are starters. Ideally, you want to extend starters and let your bullpen do their job. I don't think Pierce has that luxury if we want to win a game or two. Probably gonna have to throw one of our starters out of the pen. 

This type approach obviously isn't built for making a long run, but we don't have the depth to win these type games unless we throw our best arms.

depressing how ARK dominates us in all sports from a state that has less people than either Dallas or Houston. 

How can anyone feel cool with a plastic hog on their head? 


You ever seen the hogs they put on their dicks? The plastic head ones are a big improvement.

Yup. Good analysis. For a minute there it looked like PJR was gonna be the man with maybe some help from Sawyer. That notion left some skidmarks on the way down today.

They've certainly had our number in recent years, but they've far from dominated Texas.

Now I see why Kendall Rogers picked Arkansas to win it all. 

One win in Omaha does not mean they win it all.  Come on.

They might not win it all. Florida is loaded and that's who I think will win it all. I'll always roll with the team who has the most arms. 

But you can see why Kendall Rogers has been picking Arkansas to win it all since the season started. That team is loaded. 

Arkansas has been one of the top 4 teams all year.

Yup, mildly so, and set the record for WS appearrances.  All good.   Like I said in my earlier post, we're playing with house money.  We got further than most thought.  
The tourney is not over for us but we are absolutely one of the lower talents of the 8 teams, and there is a pretty huge gap.  Shit can happen, but we're nowhere near the best college baseball team.  I think even Pierce knew it yesterday, his press comments were pretty unconfident. 
It's okay.  They can build on this.  Hell they could even grab a win (though I would NOT want to go up against the Tech/Florida loser). 
Like I said, it's all house money.

It's also makes me excited that this coach can make an overachiever out of a spare more often than not. Seasons like this can be a bell cow on the recruiting trail, too. The future is bright. Even brighter if they delay their departure from Omaha a little while longer.

Well, 7 of these 8 teams are going home with a loss, ending their season.  Only one winner, and all of the losing teams will not feel good about it.  

Damn, gotta respect the fact that we kept battling until the 27th out.

Those Razorback fans can be some real obnoxious pricks, but damn that baseball team can play.  They're 3-0 against us with none of the games being really that close... sometimes you might just have to tip your cap and say gg.

Hell, if we win our next few games, we'll get another shot at them. I think our team would be really fuckin fired up to play them again

I hate Arkansas like most but Van Horn is a great coach. Surprising he hasn't won a title yet. Winning titles isn't easy though. 

I've always liked Van Horn because he killed Nebraska's baseball program when he left for Arkansas. Nebraska fans thought they were the shit when he was coaching in the Big 12 and they've sucked ever since he left.

He didn't kill it.  Them hiring Mike Anderson was a bullet to the head.  I know several people who were very involved in Omaha HS baseball back then, with kids who were recruited or being recruited, and none of them could stand Anderson and were in disbelief when they hired him.

And then moving to the Big 10 was the kill shot.

I walked by the Texas team bus as they were unloading at the hotel.  I gave them the Hook Em and told them to keep their heads up.  Then I got handed a free ticket to tonight's game, so I may grab a shower and head back to the ballpark.

Moving to the Big 10 was definitely the kill shot. 

But a school like Nebraska, with little baseball history prior to Van Horn, was always going to have a  difficult time coming close to finding a coach at the same level. 

A big reason why they continue to ride with Erstad is because they really don't have many great options IMO. It's not an attractive baseball job even when you exclude the fact they are in the Big 10.

Van Horn's assistants were Anderson and Rob Childress.  They hired the wrong one.  

And yeah, Van Horn is a great coach.

A few dipshits did that after we dropped game 1 of the Super.  

Anyone dissatisfied with this season should go fuck a goat.

Big 12 championship and CWS appearance in year 2. 

"Fuck a goat" sounds about right.

The B1G is not the most competitive of conferences for trying to get a team primed & ready for the super regionals or a shot at the CWS, like the ACC/ SEC/ XII or PAC...

"recent years" is what i remember and even in the 80s , when i was at UT, it wasn't a domination.  Scores from the 1960s and before don't matter that much to me, the classic 1969 game notwithstanding.  It's been Hog Hell for Texas for a while. Same with Kansas in hoops, KSU in football etc.  Damn it woudl be so delicious to upset them in Omaha.
