Does Dale have inside info?

What's everyone deal with Dale? Seems if you have a difference of opinion against the masses you're bashed

Because he never trashes people for having alternative views.

Yall leave Dale alone.

Just because you disagree with someone about Dave Van Horn doesn't mean you attack said poster all the damn time.

For fricks sake.

Also a DVH fan? because, well, there is always next year.

DVH talking about winning a national championship in the media the past few weeks is like Houston Nutt or Petrino when they did this, all should have focused on winning the SEC before longing for goals well beyond their abilities.

He just has an opinion. Might seem harsh to some, but it's his, and everyone's allowed to have one.

I'd love to know someone who has direct connections with the BOT.

As a somewhat neutral observer (not a baseball fan) I'd say its got less to do with expressing an opinion and more to do with constantly railing an Arkansas program/coach.

Win or lose, I can't wait until next season when the ceremony takes place to unveil yet another participation ribbon earned by one of the greatest coaches in the game, DVH. #Omahawgs ...

I haven't been this proud since my kid brought home a report card with straight Cs. I was like frick yeah, way to meet expectations son, lets put that on the fridge next to your color by numbers, but not too high, I don't want you to try to achieve more. ...

DVH expects local talent to go to JUCO to "prove themselves" and "earn" the opportunity, except in rare cases.

We can crack open the ice chest and discuss who invests more for the lack luster results....

Its not DVH's fault, if he had the pitching lab, hitting lab, fielding lab, and coaching scenario statistics lab he needs, but doesn't have in his Indoor Practice Facility, he could make it to Saturday in the SEC-T.

How can this moment be enjoyable when next year will be so bleak?

Sorry I ruined your mediocrity party...

It is a fact that DVH fails to meet the expectations for the program given the resources at his disposal when compared to other similar programs 2/3rds of the time.

Why would they melt? They made it to Omaha, that is suppose to be good enough. ..

I don't know how your can celebrate a decade of mediocrity to go along with a lack luster recruiting class after a "great" year and all the new facilities given, but not needed.

DVH will never win a NC

Starbucks employees fricking up my drink order rustles my jimmies more than DVHs mediocrity in a sport that doesn't matter. ...

Tell me where a decade later, that and participation ribbons are enough to earn a substantial raise and have substantial amounts of money given for infrastructure, as well as having one of the top attendances in the country? Only Arkansas. Every one else expects a ROI.

That's all he aspires to do, rack up the participation ribbons and claim mediocrity to be greatness.

Show be another program who invests as much into the program as Arkansas is is as satisfied with "just getting there".

You need to be happy with the players DVH provides to your team and the participation ribbons that result.

You need to understand just how hard it is for little ole Arky to be competitive on the big stage of College Baseball.

How long does it take most to see what a coach can do? A decade? 15 years? At what point do you ask for a ROI?...

DVH is there to collect his participation ribbon, nothing else. ...

I guess you'll be able to catch one of Arkansas's two games?...

DVH is just happy to be there, 0-2 is good enough, for him....

He isn't a championship caliber coach.

There was more talent drafted from the area than DVH has on his team, just because he can't identify major prospects in a 250 mile radius who go on to help other major programs doesn't mean they are not there.

Sounds like another coach we had who went 0fer a decade in championships and had his followers lapping up the mediocrity being served.

So you fear failure and in return embrace the mediocrity. Some aspire to heights beyond mediocrity.

Better coaches have been fired for far less mediocrity while at Arkansas. DVH is lucky its just baseball. ...

This reminds me of a couple other mediocre coaches we had in a different sports, they too saw the pinnacle of their success with a roster of largely inherited players and recruits and mediocrity was to be celebrated after that.

Meanwhile for DVH just making it to the tourney is great, making it to Omaha every 4 years is just statue worthy fantastic.

Apparently mediocrity is applauded and rewared in baseball at Arkansas.

But YAY! for making the equivalent of a sweet 16 in basketball or the citrus bowl in football. Build the statues.

I'm sure everyone who matters will be fine with 1 SEC championship in 12 years, like DVH has thus far

I'd rather see championships. I won't be seeing them with DVH.

I never said I wanted him fired.

These are from June alone.

He shows up in every thread possible (ark board, SECR, wherever) slinging comments like those quoted.

Some other fans agree with part of what he posted-- that the program hasn't been AS successful as it could be. No one seems to have a problem with those posts. Turns out, if you don't act like a jackass to your own people, they return the favor.

After seeing the Nutt/Petrino/2Bs chain its become clear that you can be unhappy and express it and others will be more than happy to join you (or debate you!). But if you cant see past your own opinions long enough to enjoy the success when its here, you WILL be singled out. You never go full hawgalude.

When are you going to come clean on the personal reason you don't like DVH?

That would be interesting to hear, because we all know that there is some type of personal experience or slight that you or a close friend/family member has had with DVH that drives your attitude towards him.

This nonsense about belittling DVH's on the field performance while defending MA who hasn't done jack in four years at the UofA is simply not believable by most on here.

There is something personal that you don't like about DVH or you are simply trying to troll everyone.

In the meantime I'm reading there is a heated recruiting battle going on with North Texas and Western Kentucky for our next outstanding front line prospect in basketball.

Hope we get him as he should fit in perfectly with the front line talent already on campus.



Pathetic

Yall motherfrickers take this message board shite way too seriously. Who gives a frick what Dale thinks of DVH? Do yall get this bent out of shape when some Louisiana or Auburn trash talks shite about BB?
