The whole angle of how much Arkansas hates Texas and Texas just isn't ready for the hate is incredibly overrated. There might be memories of a rivalry for the old timers, but it simply isn't a major factor across the board. I was at the football game and it was a flat crowd - there was no juice at all. I didn't see so much as a horns down gesture the entire game. TCU the season before was a much, much more hostile crowd.
This baseball team has been due for a bit of a course correction for a while. It was fun beating Aggy by one run three times, but those games could have gone either way. Texas pitches well in their home park. The injuries have piled up and the team isn't particularly deep and has been overachieving all year long. Getting swept on the road to a top 10 team sucks, but we don't have to invent reasons like Texas/Schloss just weren't ready for the intensity of the rivalry. Better to hit this stretch now than in a regional. Fight through it, refocus and win the damn conference.
