Summary

Arkansas baseball had an incredible year: they broke program records, won an outright SEC Title for the first time under Dave Van Horn, won the SEC Tournament for the first time in history and had the most dominant player in the country. It was a season to remember that ended just short of Omaha. The Razorback skipper takes us behind the scenes of how everything went down and answers some burning questions: what did he tell Kevin Kopps when he took him out in the 9th inning vs. NC State? What was really behind the spat between him and Tony Vitello in Knoxville? What was he thinking in the game one blowout vs. the Wolfpack? And most importantly, where does he go from here? He answers it all in this week's episode.
