Remember that time when everyone was so down about how this was typical of the Razorbacks? Look who isn't around now...

It's not that everyone was down on them...just some know how to suppress their emotions better than others. While Arkansas is a baseball school and a national power(something to be proud of)...we have seen this same song and dance before. Tremendous uplift that usually turns to tremendous defeat.

With that said, the hogs have as good as shot as anyone to win the title this year.

I've got my tickets bought and hotels booked. I'll be there for the Sunday and Tuesday games

They finally quit losing so many close games the latter part the season which is what seemed like was happening early on and kept biting us before they gelled as a collective unit. I swear the first part of the year if the game was tight it felt like we lost most of those affairs... And the errors & mistakes quit coming with the same flow that were also biting them early on. That seemed to free up the team all around when all that was cleaned up the confidence finally seemed to come out after that..... That really turned the season around when all that change happened cause honestly we would not have reached this far had that switch not been turned. The first half of the year was not a top 5 team we watched or even quite a top 10 team. Recently, you have seen a team that is top 2 or 3 for sure in this form.

Well said bb!  No room for those old mistakes now.  If we play clean ball we are dangerous match up for anyone.

I think one could argue us and Oregon State are playing better than anyone lately out of the 8 teams there.... Oregon State is rolling right now and seem to be playing with a chip after their debacle last year. Our team is peaking just at the right time.

Trojanbird

Granted we get a week off, but our pitching staff should be well rested and ready to roll!

I was one of the "typical hogs" posters.but i also said if we were lucky enough to get a national seed, we would more than likely make it to omaha. I think we have a great shot at it. Im not gonna hold my breath but i think we can get it done. Will we? Depends on which hogs make the trip to Omaha. Go Hogs!!

sportsguy80

Well said fellas. This CWS is loaded with very good teams that are playing their best baseball including the hogs. I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple games go extra innings. Also, we've faced and defeated some of these teams which is a plus heading in.

Yes, we're a combined 5-2 against the other teams on our side, which I agree, is certainly a plus.
Swept Texas in a 2 game midweek series
Won the only game against Tech
Went 2-2 against Florida
Also, the Texas schools haven't seen our weekend starters.
