In late February, the then No. 9 Arkansas baseball team knocked out No. 8 Texas in a 4-0 wipeout in the middle of a three-game, season-opening sweep that helped put the nation on the notice that these Hogs were going to be a handful this season.
Afterward, Razorback shortstop Jalen Battles, a San Antonio native, flashed a “horns down” gesture to the cameras as a special message for Longhorns fans.
Expect a similar kind of heat, times about 1,000, in the Arkansas vs Texas football game on September 11.
That, too, will be the Hogs’ second game of the season.
