Hogs vs ULM—-Baseball

[Son of Spam]

Your #4 Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks for a 2 game series starting tomorrow at 3:00 and then Wednesday at 3:00. Both games will be on SECN+ and the ESPN app. As usual, GO HOGS!

Yogi Berra quote for the games: On being asked his cap size at the beginning of spring training he said, "I don't know, I'm not in shape."

I am sure these girls have nice personalities.....

They can change their first and second names all they want, but they'll always be the NLU Indians.

Another woke death.

Another woke death.

I'm as bothered by them dropping NLU as I am the Indians nickname. 

I remember back in Florida State's heyday the Indians had the same helmets as FSU.  When NLU traveled to Tallahassee for their paycheck ass stomping they at least had the good sense to remove the arrows from their gold helmets to try to avoid antagonizing the Seminoles.

Souza and Helfrick worry me a little but both have power. Their backups have also shown they can hit so we have options. All in all much better than last year.

Agree. I am not as worried about Helfrick as I am Souza. He is in a terrible slump and is not showing signs of coming out of it.
