FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – While a great deal of the buzz encompassing Texas coming to the SEC is revolved around football, the game where the Longhorns will probably generally affect the men’s side of Razorbacks sports is baseball. The Longhorns have dominated more than 40 matches each full season this long time and was the group Mississippi State beat to progress to the public title series against Vanderbilt in 2021 to end a 50-win season. It’s difficult to check how Texas will adjust to the drudgery of a SEC baseball plan, yet Arkansas mentor Dave Van Horn and his staff will before long get an unpleasant thought concerning how arranged the Longhorns’ baseball program is for what’ coming one year from now.
“It’s like [the SEC] just gets stronger and stronger,” Van Horn said in 2022 after it was announced Texas and Oklahoma would be joining the conference. “Everybody says, ‘I want to coach in the SEC.’ I’m like, ‘Come on over. See what it’s all about.’”
The Longhorns apparently took Van Horn up on his challenge. While the Razorbacks take a few weeks to repair the team’s batting averages over the next couple of weeks, Texas will face No. 3 LSU, No. 9 Vanderbilt, and No. 7 Texas A&M before a three-game series at No. 18 Texas Tech. Hidden in the middle of all that is a game against a typically salty Texas State.
