I really think the Virginia game was the best... I also think it helped usher in more casual fans to Razorback baseball. Everyone I talked to the next day said they stayed up late watching it. Even co-workers, who admitted they don't really like or understand baseball, they just watched because it was the Razorbacks. Ditto. Facebook was plastered with baseball spirit. I hope you're right about the lasting effects!

Certainly, the VA game was so very exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat, yelling at the tv a lot that night, willing things to happen. How fun for a change, they were actually happening!! It was very intense and went round after round and victory was not certain. Probably the best game of the season, But alas, I was not there at the stadium.
However, I WAS in Norman, on the front row and witnessed magic. And it was bea-u-ti-ful!! The first game was great taking the OU fans out of the game early. BUTT, the second OU game was even more Be-U-ti-ful. Smyly was doing a GREAT job of getting to them and getting around them. And sitting down on the front row you could tell that the frustration was building on the boomer-sooner side. Them boys could not figure out how this guy was doing this TO them (because nobody just DOES this TO OU, afterall.) Smyly got to them in their minds and thus in their bats and it was oh so fun to watch up close and personal. OU melted under the pressure of the 'backs' pitching and hitting. Even the OU radio guys said late in the game that, no matter who you are rooting for, you are witnessing something special with Smyly's no-hit pitching performance. they also, at some point said that OU was down by a "touchdown" (7-0) and later said they were looking for their first first down. Oy Vey. the wins in Norman were oh so sweet, even if for personal reasons. I voted for the OU game(s) because it was personally sweet to me and such great baseball! It set the statefor the Super. GHG!!
