I like Arkansas chances vs C.S.F. Arkansas has always been a fighter in athletics regardless of sport.

CSF is "Small Ball Inc" + darn good at it. They're own style of baseball if you will. CSF also made Louisville look weak. None the less Arkansas does not qualify in CWS play too often and I kinda think they may rise + conquer em.

What are your thoughts on their chances?

I haven't given them a chance since the Norman Regional and they keep proving me wrong.

So I'll keep up the trend and say... no, they don't have much of a chance. Guts/being scrappy can only take you so far and I think their time will run out.

Nice run, though


P.S. I WILL say that Arkansas is 11-2 against National Seeds so you can't ever count them out.

Arkansas vs Cal State Fullerton. Rematch of the 1978 West Regional Basketball final.

Cal State Breezed through their conference but they didn't fare as well against the big boyz (still a good team tho). They are currently 47-14 (8 more wins than Arkansas) with no losses so far in the NCAA tourney just like Arkansas.

They have played zero SEC Teams this year.

They swept Southern Miss in a 3 game series (early in the year) that just knocked out Florida to get to the CWS.

They swept a 3 game series against Stanford.

They took 2 of 3 from UCLA.

They beat Arizona in a 2 game series both games.

They split a 2 game series with Arizona St (another CWS team).

They lost 2 of 3 to TCU (first series of the year) (1 game short of CWS).

They split a 2 game series against Oklahoma St.

They split 2 games with USC.

They lost 2 of 3 to UC Irvine (they almost got swept), that hosted a regional but knocked out by Virginia.

They lost 2 of 3 to Pacific.

Against the PAC10 9-3

Against the Big 12 2-1

To get to the CWS they beat Utah twice, Gonzaga once and Louisville twice. BY the way Utah was the 4 seed in their Regional and they finished 2nd so I have to question the competition in their regional.

Hopefully...we'll represent the SEC well

I think Arkansas has to hit the ball well to have a chance to contend with CSF. I know they can field and pitch good enough after watching the series with FSU. I'm cheering for them.
