I definitely had to go with Vandy. The 2 bag tag will be remembered forever in Hog lore. However, the "big man" rant from DVH is right up there too.

the 2 bag tag was the best. But right up there in my book was Dave going ape in the LSU game

The Mississippi State series was memorable in that it was cold as all get out. But I throughly enjoyed my trip to Baum, awesome stadium, I think if it would have been warmer the crowds would have been out in force. When I heard that Schmidt had hurt his ankle, I was worried that I would not get the chance to see him pitch, as it was he handcuffed us pretty good. Welker was rolling along and was a tough nut to crack, eventually we got him but it was never easy in this series this year. I thank the Arkansas fans who I chatted with, all very knowledgable in the game and also got to meet Coach Debryein at the Sunday game, that was probably the highlight of my trip, what a class guy. Looking forward to coming back up in two years time for the next series @ Fayetteville between our teams. Hope the weather is much better when that time comes.

BTW, great season Hog fans, not a thing to hang your head about, you have top notch facilities and a top notch coach.

Most definitely the Vandy game... That tag was vintage Van Horn and one of the reasons I love the way DVH coaches... That whole series showed we could play with (and beat) the best teams in the country...

Vanderbilt by a long shot a two-tag-bag

And that wasn't even the coldest of the year. The Florida series was even worse. 2007 will always be remembered for it's absolutely brutal weather.

Really only two games got considerable votes. I thought it would be more spread out this year. So many good games.
