He already makes more than DVH. I don't see HY making anybody the highest paid coach in a sport.

This is a mentality that is typical for Arkansas, our administration, and our boosters, and it will continue to hold us back.

Why do the most gaudy and obnoxious people this country has to offer get the blessings?

I fricking hate baseball.

It's so sad our 3 biggest rivals in baseball (LSU, MSU, Ole Miss) have won since the dropped foul ball

I'd rather watch Texas win 5 in a row than see LSU win one. I fricking loathe their baseball fanbase.

Alabama football fans are the worst in the nation from my bad experiences dealing with them. The most radical go to the extreme and they get sensitive real quick when you say one negative word about the beloved crimson tide. Very obnoxious and rude.

I haven't had any experiences with LSU fans but from the stories I have heard, they are on par with Bama fans but in different ways.

Maybe next year we get to be the SEC West team that brings it home?

Please…..?

The world went upside down when the damned Mississippi schools won it.

I don't ever expect something like to happen because it will happen when you least expect it to. That is why I don't think about it and say oh this is the year and you keep saying it each year. It just gets old and no need to get frustrated over it.


Most likely it will be the team with male cheerleaders.


If that happens the rant would crash.

You don’t run him off, because we’re more likely to end up like ole miss or state than we are to find jay johnson and win a title in year 2.



Chris Lemonis won a title in year three. That guy is the Gene Chizik of college baseball. He hasn't even made a Regional either of the two years after winning the CWS.

But you know what? MSU can fire him at any time, and the fans still have the NC they watched their team win.

They are also about to be in a complete rebuild and they are not in the top 10 when it comes to spending on their baseball program. They could be down for a while. It is not worth the risk. I would rather know my team is going to have hope every year than win one and then fall off the earth. I lost all passion for basketball during the 20 years of trash we had to endure.

People can brag about having the best record over a certain period of time but that is nothing but stats and as they say stats are for losers.

I doubt state fans would trade that title for years of being good but never winning a title.

I would be ok with some years of suffering for a baseball title if that what it takes. Besides Arkansas fans are already used to suffering disappointment after disappointment and so it should be the norm.

Who cares? We're never gonna win shite. Everybody is OK with being the Bad News Bears. We are Arkansas.

Basketball is the only big three sport we have a chance in. DVH will NEVER win a MCWS. We all know this. Meanwhile, we can enjoy watching our conference foes play for the title year after year. Luck ain't got shite to do with it.

But we still to this day hang on to '94 and use it as a reason why we're a superior program to most of the SEC lol

We’ll win it all in a down year where people don’t expect anything from us.

We’re Charlie Brown and the football when we’re a front runner and people see us coming

Per DVH end of season presser, Holt will be back.

McEntire and Morris will be back unless they get good offers.

Even Cali should be back unless he gets a good offer as well.

Stovall should be healthy to play 2B next season.

Smith and Tygart both resting this off season and should be full time starters next season. McEntire wants to continue being the no. 1 guy out the pen.

Says, in the future, NIL for baseball won't be a problem and expects to have more of a level playing field in that arena vs other teams.

Expect Jayson Jones to have a much bigger next season similar to that of Diggs from this season.

I'm curious as well, but we'll see how it goes with who we actually land from the portal. We got Aloy and White. Other than that, the other guys are meh. I know is really depends on who we lose to the draft.

Why would Morris get a good offer? He regressed big time this year.
