Arkansas scored more runs than them in both games.

Why are you acting like Tennessee was some juggernaut this year?

Playing at home was the single biggest advantage in winning the super. Tenner at home may have yielded results in Tenner's favor and nobody would be surprised.

Significantly better?



20-10 in conference vs 16-14, and Arkie won the series 2-1 in the regular season. I would probably say clearly better, but I'm not sure I'd say significantly better.

I think part of it is that Tennessee went into the games thinking they were so much better than anyone in the SEC.

No matter how good a team is, it's always dangerous to go into games thinking you're going to waltz your way because you're so much better than your opponent.

It's how low division schools will sometimes beat top teams.

Yeah Arkansas is probably the favorite to win it all at this point.


Surprisingly, Vegas has LSU as the favorite. Well, at least at these two sites we are favored to win it all.

Draft Kings LSU +290 and Arkansas +300

Vegas Insider had LSU +300 and Arkansas +350 (yesterday)

Defensively and pitching wise, we have the upper hand, offensively this is false. They swing it and run the bases much better than us overall.

Arkansas is a better team, especially between the ears.

Tennessee lost their mojo about 5-6 weeks ago.

however, Milam's resurgence and Jay's tinkering of the lineup has worked stupendously and puts LSU's bats on pace with their offense as well


Curiel, as well. Jones showed signs of finally breaking out of his slump this weekend. And with Braswell likely relegated to a closing defensive sub, we don’t have a hole in the lineup anymore. We just need Reaves to be good enough at 3rd.

Dalton Beck nearly decapitating their best reliever started the process. And Jones took their soul Pujols-Lidge style after that.

Team slash lines are

Tenn: .300/.410/.545
LSU .299/.424/.515

basically they’ve hit more HR in their baby park.
