The SEC messed up, fixed it. Now we’re all the better for it.
The Arkansas baseball schedule was released – rather, re-released – on Tuesday along with the rest of their SEC brethren. The league released the schedule initially a few weeks back, but accidentally left some dates out.
Arkansas’ schedule didn’t change much, but what did within it was major. The Diamond Hogs will host Tennessee on April 14-16 from Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.
Why is Tennessee such an momentous matchup? Well, the Volunteers spent nearly all of last year ranked No. 1 in the nation before falling before the College World Series (much the same way the Diamond Hogs did the year before that). And, more personally, Tennessee is coached by Tony Vitello, who spent several years with the Razorbacks working under Dave Van Horn.
The two coaches had a demonstrative exchance a couple years ago that drew the interest of both fan bases and the ire of each in opposition. Any rematch is sure to be dynamite.
