I didn't want to be watching past baseball highlights and getting that itch for baseball right now but here we are after what looks to be another disappointing hoops season.
But Coach Dave Van Horn is our guy to the rescue and he is 110 percent Arkansas. He's been a constant for 22 going on 23 seasons here. He made us all care deeply about baseball. Coach Norm was here and started it all but he was here in the day when it was next to impossible to watch a game until Omaha. Coach DVH has been here through every dud football and basketball coach. His teams were the bright lights in 18 and 19 during so so basketball seasons and the horrific Chad Morris era. DVH gave us hope and gave us something to have pride in as hardcore fans of Razorback athletics. Every season cannot end in Omaha but he's taken us there around a third of his seasons here and every here since 2017 you had every reason to hope this this was finally the year that we win the whole damn thing as Phil would say.
Last two seasons have ended in big time disappointments but we had reason to hope. It seems like it has been a decade since we were in Omaha but that's a testament to the work Coach has done here in his long time. I've never wanted any other coach to win it as much as DVH. He 110 percent deserves it for making us feel all the feelings after basketball. DVH is the reason we get mad at the lack of hitting, pitching decisions, meltdowns in June. He gave us reason to care from Feb through summer. I know I'm on a tangent but you get nostalgic and excited that maybe this could be it. 2018 SHOULD have been it but somehow wasn't.
I am sure some have studied the roster. lineups, and rotations more than I have and have seen fall practices. Is there any reason to believe these guys can get us back to Omaha and give us a chance to win the whole damn thing? Can Gabe/Wood/Root/Cheese give our offense a chance to get things together for a run at what we've been craving since 1994?
Valentines Day cannot arrive fast enough.
