I enjoyed watching the new Hog Pod that dropped yesterday with Phil Elson interviewing DVH. (You can watch it if you have Hogs Plus or just listen if you don’t.) It appears to be Part 1 of a two-part Hog Pod, and they focus a lot on how Van Horn got the job at Arkansas and his early tenure here. Definitely learned some tidbits I had not heard before.
It’s easy to see that, even in his 20th season with the Hogs, he still has great passion for the job. The story he tells at the end about the Auburn series in 2019 should leave no doubt about that.
It’s a great watch/listen to get yourself ready for baseball season. 10 days to go!
I think Van Horn is going to win a championship before he retires. If he does, I think it’s going to be all the more meaningful because of the one that got away — kind of like Bobby Bowden and the Wide Rights.
I was at a watch party in Las Vegas. Rick Nomura was there too. When the ball dropped, I said to a friend that it was over. I knew we had shot our wad.
