Not sure I like messing with what’s worked all year but that would be fun. Don’t know who would come in if he gets in a late jam though.

Where did you see that? Their fans seem to think they’ll start their normal Sunday guy but only for a few innings.
could’ve sworn that was what DVH said in the post game interview yesterday but I could’ve imagined that I’ll go back and rewatch

NC state coach said on Friday night that Johnston was likely done for the weekend. Said he wasn't seeing it or something to that effect

Always been a DVH fan and supporter...I don’t like the decision to start Kopps and I feel like it’s not going to end well.

Sincerely hope I’m incorrect in my feelings and will gladly call myself a poon if it works out. Just want the W today.

I feel like DVH lost his mojo when he pulled Lockhart and then left Costeiu in after the first, then second home run. Then repeated the mistake pulling monke and going to Noland. Seems like he's grasping now, and it worries me that the team will feel the same. Hope I'm wrong but I'm well conditioned to disappointment with Razorbacks athletics.

Fully agreed... If Lockhart or Wicklander is available, then start one even if it's only for 1 or 2 innings, then bring in Wiggins, Monke or Noland to bridge to Kopps

Or it sends a message to his team that we are about to win this game and the bats come alive

Good thing he is one of the top 25 winningest coaches in this sport and we are message board posters

I'm not worried, Kopps, Hogs and DVH have this

Hope this is the case but cute shite always seems to bite you in the arse.

And again, would be the most Arkansas thing ever for him to get yoked for the first time.

frick it though. Let’s have fun.

Cute shite would be facing elimination and waiting until the 7th or 8th to throw your best guy

Edit:. And let's be honest, if we are ok with him playing in the 3rd after Wiggins, why even chance it by playing Wiggins first?

Good point. Let’s just get it done fellas.

Screw the mind games, we’re the better team, we’ve done it all year and will have a rowdy crowd behind us.

Really want them getting to the pitchers and making them. toss strikes

I disagree. Kopps will shut them down and give our bats time to get going with no pressure. They would have feasted on Wiggins. That would have put pressure on our bats to make it up and we haven't shown that ability very much lately.

I think this is the right decision. Let Bolden, Zeb etc. clean up the ending. If our bats don't come through here it's on them.

Bolden is out.

While Kopps is great and has been put in many unusual situations this year. Starting is a slightly different ballgame than coming out of the bullpen. If he can get to the 3rd unruffled then we’ve got the usual Kopps on the mound dealing.

Just hit the baseball even close to like game 1 and rock these MFers and this shite don't matter. I'm fine with winning 17-6.

My point was we have 5-6 arms that we can cycle through in the final innings. Only one needs to stick.

Our bats have to go out there and win this. We just have to get them going. Putting Kopps out there to start gives them the best chance to do that.

It may turn out terribly but I like it going in.

I agree with that point. Hopefully Kopps shows up like he has all year. Get us into the 6-7th inning then it’s all hands on deck
