Who let an Arkansas fan from Pine Bluff out of his room?

Drewbie (Pine Bluff): If LSU is the #3 team in the country, don’t you think Arkansas is probably #3b? I thought them Hogs fought LSU pitch for pitch and if it weren’t for a few errors and bad calls by the officials, Arkansas could have won the series. Can Arkansas still get in the top 8 despite the bad RPI?
Aaron Fitt: All right, let’s just have a little LSU-Arkansas section of the chat (heaven knows there is enough interest in those two programs…). Arkansas did play LSU tough and could have won the series, although I don’t think there any calls would have swung it the other way. Don’t forget, LSU was robbed of extra bases on a blown call down the line earlier Sunday — and the Tigers already had the lead when that call in the 10th started another rally. Yes, that insurance run helped, but I don’t really believe Arkansas would have scored a single run against Chris Cotton anyway. I still think LSU is a much better defensive and offensive team than Arkansas, but the Hogs do have the pitching to keep them competitive against anybody. But they have had three losing weekends now, while LSU hasn’t had any, and a number of other teams have lost 0 or 1 series. So Arkansas passes the eye test, but it does not pass the resume test, when it comes to being a top-five team. 12 games against teams outside the top 200 in the RPI really kill the Hogs’ chances for a national seed, especially since they have lost those two big home series against MSU and LSU. If those two Sunday games had gone the other way, I’d feel much better about Arkansas as a national seed contender.
Edited to not falsely accuse our friend Drewbie for asking such a dumb question.

A lot of people read Fitt's chat each week. Really not that uncommon.

I don't really think you can judge intelligence by how someone types out on a forum. Especially for something as unimportant as asking Aaron Fitt something.

i agree but if someone can type/word correctly on here then they more than likely can type/word correctly when asking aaron fitt something.

Maybe would agree except the fact they brought up a few bad calls and the whole winning part
Posted on 4/15/13 at 3:42 pm to lsu711
Aaron Fitt promptly put Drewbie in his place.

That is how you address facts.

Might want to read Fitts' response again, something is amiss.

I noted on the rant he wrote msu instead of ole miss. Honestly the fact that it was ole miss makes it slightly worse.

no chance of winning series.

No doubt there is a good chance this isn't the SEC Rant's Drewbie. I haven't evaluated his grammar on this board to rule out the possibility. I'll edit the title though.

Drewbie Really worked hard on his trolling; put LOTS of time into it, but he gets a break from me for two reasons: one is that it seems he is really young, and it's almost a college student "job description" to be obnoxious. (I would never yell STTD, B now, never, but I would have been leading the cheer when I was a student at LSU.). And, from what I have heard about lthe military, his life is going to be sort of rough for a while, so I wish him well.

Nobody picked up on this blunder? He meant Ole Miss but obviously since OM baseball is irrelevant he accidentally said MSU. Guess that comes with being a more nationally recognized program though
