I ain't on the bandwagon yet & last night's game solidified my opinion. I hope that I can tell you I was wrong in a few weeks.

We're coming off a sweep. Anyone expecting anything but letdown is deluding themselves. Hopefully we salvage 1.

2 of 3. I think we are good enough to pull it off. Ginn is back on. Plumlee is coming around. Small is very good even on the road. This team is already record pace based on the tweets i've seen. I'm not so sure why so many people doubt the. They lost a strange series to LSU which is the only one where we haven't really been successful. That Tennessee road series is looking much better after this past weekend. Barring a weird play, we sweep them. I think Lemonis has figured out the best fielding arrangement. He has also figured pitching out a little better midway through the season. If the bats don't disapear, which i don't think they will, we will get at least 2 of 3.

It was a midweek game that we only won by 4.

If that gives you doubt, I don't know what to tell you. Find another team in the country that's undefeated in the midweek.

Hell, let's look at the only teams in the country ranked above us, UCLA and Oregon. Both have a loss to a team 60+ in the RPI, and a team 100+ in the RPI. Our worst loss is USM at 50, with the 5 conference losses all to RPI to 25 teams.

There is nothing that should be giving you pause about our performance against inferior teams. What we do need now is show out against another clear regional host, which we have several chances to do in the coming weeks.

Anything above 1 win this weekend is superb. Losing all 3 would be the downer of all downers. Take 2 and call it a good weekend. Take 3 and make reservations for Starkville two weekends in June.

Arky is good. I fear a 2-1 series loss, but would wager a small amount on a 2-1 win.

State wins 2 of 3. State is hot and Arkansas has been just ok past month...

State is 8-2 our last 10 and Arkansas is 5-5.

Arkansas hasn't whupped anyone. Last two series at home were sweeping Mizzou by 2, 1, and 1 run(s) and losing 2 of 3 to OM.

I'd bet we are closer to a sweep than losing 2 of 3.
