This is the biggest weekend series at The Box since ____?

Im going to game 3 my first time at the Box super pumped up! Whenever they decide to play game 3 I’ll be there lol

You serious? I’d argue they should be 3rd or 4th behind Wake and Florida

I don’t consider the second sec weekend series of the season the biggest since “blank”. Handle business and move on to the next game.

This is a great chance to assert ourselves as back to being THE national powerhouse.

We could sweep both series, but won’t be “back” as THE National powerhouse until we hoist a couple more trophies. I think we will eventually, but it’s harder now than ever before. Jay’s a recruiting monster, so that’ll be enough to get us back to Omaha on a regular basis, but the players are gonna have to go out and actually do it.

Would be nice to get that 1st one of this era under our belt this year with the potential—or likely—1st 2 picks in the upcoming draft on the team, but some other guys are gonna have to step up and create some of that magic we had in the 90s that made teams fear us. Luckily we’re also so deep that there are plenty of candidates capable.

The next 2 weekends offer us the opportunity to make a big statement to the rest of the SEC for sure. I just hope the weather doesn’t affect the intensity at the Box this weekend. OP is right that this is the biggest home series in a long, long time. Hope the crowd shows up and represents.

Cool, so no one on here can have an opinion on them

Id consider them top 5 if they still had some of their pitching. They lost jaxon wiggins, brady tygart, and koty frank, that has to hurt their depth. Hollan and hagen smith are pretty good, just not sure they have much else behind them. Maybe you know more than i do about them, and they have more quality arms than i realize, but thats my on the surface take.

Arkansas has 5 really good pitching and then it drops off like the ocean floor.

Edit: I hate when people think LSU is supposed to sweep every team at home...they won't. Arkansas will grab a game this weekend.

Sounds like Arkansas has moved Hagan Smith into the Kevin Kopps role of not starting but the first close game of the weekend he’ll come in by the 7th inning to try and finish it out.

Yep, just need to be ahead in the 6th innings of these games

There is way, way more parity in college baseball now than then. Hell, there is way more parity in the SEC now than then.
