Winning the SEC with this roster was overachieving this year

Would've liked to get further given a top host spot, but we've gotten lucky in regionals lately. This is just how baseball goes sometimes

This was a weird season spent wondering how in the heck we kept winning games. A fun year though, still plenty of good baseball coming up this year.


At least I don’t have to fret about it anymore…

You guys definitely won more than the stats/performances indicated. Smith and Hollan are a damn good 1-2 punch but neither were really a dominate ace. I did think you would make a Super and probably Omaha, just due to the fact the conference is so damn good and you guys played well enough to win it.

Tony Vitello took that program from a regional team to the CWS. Now that he’s been gone, they’ve gone back to consistently underperforming

Sad thing is, Bianco has as many rings as lsu does since he’s been at Ole Miss.

This is actually the reality. I’ve had a lot of hot takes, but this was a rag tag motley crew and we could’ve just totally face planted. Plus, part of sailing is that the sea is always your master and it always wins in the end.

Arkansas wasn't going make it far with the injuries.

Once Arkansas got into the losers bracket, they had no chance.

Arkansas was one of the last 4 standing last year in Omaha while little tony was on his couch scratching a beat arse while failing miserably with the best team he’ll ever field.

Punched above their weight all year. Metrics say this team should have never won this many games or been ranked this high. Van Horn was doing this with smoke and mirrors all year long. Worst shortstop, third base, catcher combo of his career and the pitching was mediocre. It was actually a masterful coaching job. Just did not have the Jimmie’s and Joes this year.
