Diamond Hogs will open season against Texas, TCU and Oklahoma State

Arkansas will play Texas early in the college baseball season for the second time in three years.

Arkansas versus Texas? What Razorbacks fan doesn’t want to go for that?

The Diamond Hogs will kick off their 2023 baseball season against the Longhorns down at the College Baseball Showdown on February 17 at Globe Life Field in Arlington.

Arkansas will also play Texas Christian and Oklahoma State at the season-opening tournament. The Razorbacks played TCU and Texas in the same tournamnet in the 2021 season. OSU is replacing Texas Tech among that slate of three teams.

All three of Arkansas’ opponents this year made the NCAA Tournament. Texas made it all the way to the College World Series, while the Diamond Hogs eliminated OSU in the Regional round.

Friday’s game against Texas is at 7 p.m., as is Saturday’s against TCU. The finale on Sunday against the Cowboys is scheduled for a 2 p.m. first pitch.

Tickets are not yet available.

Mark your calendars: Arkansas baseball vs Tennessee, Baum-Walker, mid-April

Arkansas baseball may or may not be rebuilding, but regardless, the Diamond Hogs’ games against Tennessee will be a winner.

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.

You can see the complete Diamond Hogs schedule below.

Remember the Arkansas baseball schedule release this week? Yeah, forget it

Thank heavens the world gets an Arkansas-Tennessee baseball meeting this spring after all.

Whew.

That was a close one.

We’re going to get Arkansas-versus-Tennessee on the baseball field after all, it appears. And by ‘we,’ this writer means we. All of us.

The SEC released the league’s conference schedule earlier in the week but rescinded it on Friday after it was discovered to be inaccurate. Not included was that game between the Diamond Hogs and Volunteers, which was known to be a given, considering the league’s scheduling rotation.

Now, dates and opponents will change and the league will release the revised – correct – schedule sometime in the future. Honestly, expect early next week.

So hopefully you haven’t bought plane tickets or hotels just yet. But even if you have, be glad, anyway, that the college baseball world will get to catch Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn and his former assistant Tony Vitello go head-to-head for three games in the regular season in the springtime.
