The college baseball postseason is upon us, which means it’s time for Arkansas fans to perform their annual balancing act between hope and trauma-induced anxiety.
The Diamond Hogs were selected as the No. 3 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, and will once again host a Fayetteville Regional against the likes of Kansas, Creighton and North Dakota State. Should they be fortunate enough to advance, the Razorbacks will be paired with the winner of the Knoxville Regional, hosted by none other than No. 14 Tennessee – the headlines write themselves on that one.
Of course, it’s no guarantee Arkansas even makes it out of the first weekend of the postseason, as the last two seasons have seen purple teams celebrating at Baum-Walker Stadium with TCU and Kansas State advancing to Super Regionals over the hosting Hogs.
