Amegy Bank College Baseball Series—Hogs Baseball

[Son of Spam]

Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on Kansas State this Friday at 7:00PM on FloTV. Then, Saturday, we go against the TCU Horned Toads at 6:00PM. Finally we take on Michigan at 11:00AM on Sunday. All games on FloTV. There will be no PBP from me because FloTV is usually really screwed up. Maybe not this time, but why chance it? Hopefully the 6:00 game doesn't go into extra innings as we have an early game the next day. As usual, GO HOGS!

I can take PBP for the Friday game, and maybe Sunday.  Definitely out on Saturday.

Yearly reminder that you can sign up for FloSports through some conference landing pages for less than the standard $30 and cancel next week after the tournament is over.  I haven't tried it yet, but the Gulf South Conference landing page has it at $14.99 or $9.99 with an .edu address.  In the past, these conference subscriptions have included our baseball tournaments.

It's now $19.99 for the monthly option.  I thought the quality of the broadcast last year was pretty good.

I signed up through the CAA(?) conference again this year. They did bump the monthly price up to $20. The production looked much better during last weekend's games.

I'll be there with my Hog hat on. I hope I don't embarrass HTL too much.

WHASSUP MY PIGGAZ!  It's time for Hog baseball!

Tonight your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Wildcats from the University of Kansas State.  First pitch is in about 20 minutes, at or just after 7PM, or whenever FloSports gets their 56K Dial-up modem rebooted.

Sorry for the interruption here, but I have a confession to make.  I fucking detest Kansas State, and Kansas, the state.  It probably stems from watching dogshit Kansas State teams wearing mismatched uniforms with lavender jerseys and dark purple nuthuggers eliminate Eddie Sutton's Hog teams from the NCAA tournament far earlier than they should have been sent home.  The state is uglier than a cat's asshole.  Boring as hell, nothing but flat land and amber waves of fucking weeds. 

So kindly join me in saying fuck Jack Hartman. Fuck Rolando Blackmon.  Fuck Bill Snyder.  Double fuck Dana Altman's retarded ass.  Manhattan is in New York you stupid fucks.  Wheat causes diabeetus.  EMAW is a slogan that even Aggies find excessively weird. 

Tonight we get revenge for you lucky cunts getting one good swing on the best pitcher in America last June and prematurely ending our season (yeah, I know SEMO, but fuck them too.)

Tonight's beverage of choice is Kentucky Vanilla Cream Ale.  I only have one, so the next beverage will be something else.

Top 2nd.

Former Razorback Maximus Martin pops out to Aloy near the mound.  1 out.

(EDITOR'S NOTE:  For those of you who don't keep up closely with Hog baseball recruiting, Martin was committed to us out of the portal for about thirty minutes this offseason.  Once we figured out that guys like Iredale weren't going in the draft we ran out of room for him and asked him to look elsewhere.)

Madliak singles past Aloy.  Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Inoue grounds to the second base bag...Aloy fields and throws to 1st for a 6-3 double play.  3 outs.

Mid 2nd. 0-0.
