Can't speak to baseball but have made the trip to Arkansas for football. It's probably top of my list away game destinations.

Arkansas is a very good baseball trip if you manage to snag rooms at the Staybridge Suites across the street from the park. I've been up there for baseball four times and weather always seems to be iffy when we go up there, so being able to wait out rain delays at your hotel, then walk across the street, is great.

I went to Fayetteville for the game in 2013, but was on a charter flight that was in and out on gameday.

I'm good, just being realistic

Thanks, I feel stupid now haha

I think both coaches would prefer to have the best seeding in the tournament because it gives them more rest

What is everyone playing for:

Florida at #5 Georgia - 6 p.m.[SECN+]
UF is fighting for its regional life while UGA is trying to earn a national seed (top 8).

Vanderbilt at #2 Kentucky - 6:30 p.m. [SECN+]
UK is trying to win their second-ever SEC baseball title and the #1 overall seed while Vandy s trying to stop the bleeding and hold on to their postseason spot.

#23 South Carolina at #1 Tennessee - 6:30 p.m. [SECN+]
UofSC is probably out of the hosting picture, but a series win at UT might change that while UT is waiting to pounce if UK slips up.

#21 Alabama at Auburn - 7 p.m. [SECN+]
Bama is safely in but well away from hosting while Auburn... well... stinks. This is just a good old iron bowl on the diamond.

Ole Miss at LSU - 7 p.m. [SECN]
Both recent champs have fallen on hard times. The winner has a shot at regionals, the loser doesn't. This series is also known as the "We just beat A&M and kept our season alive bowl".

Missouri at #15 Mississippi State - 7 p.m. [SECN+]
Mizzou is trying to make Hoover and continue the season while MSU is fighting for a host spot.

#2 Arkansas at #4 Texas A&M - 8 p.m. [ESPN2]
Arky, like UT, is waiting to pounce if UK splits up. They also win the west with 1 victory. A&M is trying to spot the slide and hold on to the national seed. A sweep means the 2nd west title in 3 years under Schloss.

I am digging the storylines. Almost no meaningless series.

LSU Fighting Tigers need a sweep.

don’t think DVH would want a double header on Friday if he can avoid it. So everyone would be on the same page.

Doubt DVH or Schloss is down for playing on Sunday as well with the SEC tournament on the horizon. Not that either coach GAF about Hoover.

IIRC isn’t Florida getting arms back from injury? I know the pitching outside of Cags hasn’t been great anyway but maybe some of those high numbers are attributed to guys who went out earlier in the year?

Ugh
7 on a week night already too late for us working stiffs

I'm off until Monday. Don't care how late it ends tonight.
